Only the second month into the year, and you may already be looking for a pick-me-up. Perhaps a quiet place to go, somewhere to unwind, where you can
work out the stress of the day, get treated with kindness and feel like your needs matter. That retreat can be found at Harrah’s Gulf Coast in the Bellissimo Spa & Salon.
Along with a full line of services available for individual purchase, Bellissimo o ers memberships that give guests regular access to parts of the spa, as well as monthly specials. There are three levels of membership, but all packages include daily use of the tness center, showers and wet areas. Membership also allows the guest complimentary valet and access to the pool deck, plus spa members can get a free monthly haircut.
“Bellissimo Spa & Salon at Harrah’s Gulf Coast is a retreat,” said Ellen Erhard, spa manager. “It’s a relaxing atmosphere where men and women can work out in our tness center and enjoy the bene ts of our spa amenities with a well-appointed sta member to ensure that our members are well taken care of during their time with us.”
The 24-hour tness center features a number of state-of- the-art Nautilus machines perfect for any exercise routine.

Ride, walk or lift yourself into good health by working out to your pace, on your schedule. Then, enjoy a soothing steam or a dip in the whirlpool. And on days when it just seems right to skip the workout, go straight for the wet areas or visit the swimming pool.
“Our membership includes spa and salon services that can be customized for the individual and also includes access to our hotel’s heated pool that overlooks the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Our outdoor pool area is a favorite among our guests with live entertainment in the summer months and a menu that includes delicious food and refreshing cocktails. This membership includes self-care, relaxation, as well as fun in the sun,” Erhard said.
The spa’s warm earth tones, soothing music and gentle lighting design combine to transport guests to a place far from the stress and worry that daily life can bring. The full-service spa is designed with both women and men in mind, with separate treatment and lounge areas. The quiet, comfortable lounges have couches and chairs, and guests can rest before or after their treatments with fruit-infused water, herbal teas, juices and light snacks.
