Every holiday season, there’s someone on the list who seems impossible to buy for. They’ve got everything and won’t give you any clues. This year, skip the usual gifts and give them an experience they’ll look forward to long after the decorations come down.

From restorative spa days to premium skincare and practical stocking stuffers, Serenity by the sea Spa makes holiday shopping easy. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite gifts for anyone on your list, including the people who are hardest to shop for. The gift of Serenity is especially sweet for someone who spends so much time taking care of everyone else that they rarely take a moment for themselves.

For the One Who Is Overdue For an Entire Day to Themselves 

Some people need more than an hour to unwind. Whether you’re shopping for the spouse who manages the household schedules, the parent who never takes a day off, or someone celebrating a special milestone, a full day at the spa is a gift they’ll truly appreciate.

Our Day of Bliss package offers five luxurious hours of pampering, beginning with an 80-minute Serenity by Design Massage tailored to their preferences. The massage is followed by a 60-minute deluxe facial, and a Moroccanoil ritual manicure and pedicure round out the day. A light spa lunch is included, too.

Another option is the Four Diamond Package, inspired by our resort’s AAA Four Diamond restaurant, Seagar’s Prime Steaks & Seafood. This package pairs a Swedish massage with a Hydrojet massage, a Refresher facial, a classic pedicure, and a glass of wine from the Seagar’s wine list.

Both packages offer something increasingly difficult to find during this time of year: time to slow down without watching the clock.

For The Always-Busy Friend 

We all know someone whose calendar is perpetually full. Give them an excuse to turn off their phone, forget about their to-do list, and enjoy 80 uninterrupted minutes of calm.

The Mindful Dreams Stone Massage is a smart choice for someone who may not love to be away from the world for a whole day. Warm stones and soothing lavender aromatherapy help release built-up tension, while a relaxing scalp massage completes the experience. It’s an ideal gift for anyone who needs a little rest at the end of a busy year.

Prefer to gift something that’s more personalized? Try our Serenity by Design Massage, which can be customized to focus on specific areas of tension.

Pair either massage with a scented candle or soothing oil from our Spa Shoppe, and they can enjoy a little Serenity at home, too.

For the Skincare Devotee 

If you have a friend who knows every ingredient in their skincare routine or a family member who loves trying new beauty treatments, consider a spa visit that goes beyond their everyday regimen.

Our Deluxe HydraFacial combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration with a specialty booster matched to individual skin concerns. Red or blue light therapy, a targeted mask, and a restorative neck and shoulder massage make this advanced facial as indulgent as it is results-focused.

The Serenity Radiance Facial offers a more personalized approach, beginning with a professional skin analysis. From there, our skincare specialists tailor the treatment to the recipient’s needs, from dryness to sensitivity to uneven tone.

Complete the gift with a visit to our Spa Shoppe, where our team can recommend professional skincare products to complement their treatment and help maintain results at home.

For the Couple Who Could Use Some Time Together 

Finding time to reconnect can be a challenge, especially during the holidays. A shared spa escape makes a memorable gift for newlyweds, a couple celebrating an anniversary, or your own significant other.

Our Couples Massage invites two guests to unwind side by side in a private couples’ suite. Choose between relaxation or deep tissue massage, available in 50- or 80-minute sessions, and enjoy a peaceful escape together.

Make the occasion extra meaningful by extending the visit into a romantic getaway at Hilton Sandestin Beach. A spa treatment, dinner at one of the resort’s restaurants, and a getaway along the Emerald Coast make a wonderful combination.

For Someone Who Prefers Comfort at Home.

Sometimes, the most appreciated presents are the small splurges someone might not purchase for themselves. Our Spa Shoppe is filled with curated gifts that bring the spa home. 

Consider one of our plush Serenity robes, Moroccanoil hair care products, or nourishing Pure Fiji body care. Skincare enthusiasts will appreciate our selection of professional products, while Jane Iredale makeup is a welcome addition to any beauty lover’s collection.

Stocking stuffers are covered, too: browse our assortment of aromatherapy candles, fragrant oils, and other spa favorites. We also carry many of the same products used in our professional treatments, making it simple to recreate favorite Serenity rituals at home.

When You Can’t Decide, Give Them the Choice

Still not sure what to choose? A Serenity by the sea Spa gift card lets your recipient choose the treatment that appeals to them most.

With our full-service spa and salon offering massages, facials, body treatments, manicures, pedicures, and more, there are plenty of ways to put a gift card to good use. Recipients can also browse our Spa Shoppe for skincare, beauty products, and accessories.

Our Destin Spa gift cards are a convenient option for gifting, even when you’re shopping last-minute, or can’t quite decide how to spoil your loved one.
