Spice Isle Retreat Spa opens premium facility at Port Louis Marina


Spice Isle Retreat Spa recently welcomed new and existing clients to their air conditioned, state-of-the-art salon and spa in Port Louis Marina, offering exciting, new products to the island such as Dermalogica skin care, Argan Secret Moroccan Oil, TIGI Bed Head, as well as Paul Mitchell, Tea Tree and Mitch for men.


Owner Michelle Phillip was trained by Vidal Sassoon in London and brings with her 21 years of spa/salon experience, including time with other high-end brands, such as Toni & Guy. She is also a qualified therapist and has a BSc. (Hons) in Nutrition. However, unlike the noisy action at Toni & Guy, Spice Isle Retreat Spa’s custom-built facility at the Peter de Savary development in Port Louis, with its private internal garden offers a calm and secluded environment, where the focus is on offering quality services with professional products in a relaxing atmosphere.

Training staff is a key factor for Phillip, providing education and incentives for the people around her, understanding that one’s staff members are an extension of oneself. Her team is trained in the
application of skin and body products from Dermalogica, a brand sold in over 80 countries.

Phillip is currently in discussion with ITEC, a leading international specialist examination board, providing internationally recognised qualifications in Beauty & Spa Therapy, Hairdressing and Complementary Therapies, about setting up courses here in Grenada. Based in Barbados, ITEC’s certification is recognised in 44 countries. Their 12-month course, during which they come over four or five times to present practical sessions, includes the study of anatomy and physiology and is available to anyone. This connection will also assist Phillip in finding students to join her spa team.

Spice Isle Retreat Spa’s comprehensive range of Hairdressing and Spa Services includes hair styling and weaving, facials, massage, body therapies, nail treatments, manicures, pedicures, waxing and a selection of Spa Packages that make the ideal gift for someone special.
