New in ORC Wellness & Self-Care
With the summer spent refreshing existing spaces, building new ones, and implementing new offerings, the Club is excited to welcome you to the 2024-2025 season.
The last couple editions of the Ocean Reef Press covered a laundry list of enhancements the Club completed over the summer months, including the new Spirits Bar and Hammock Halfway House (both of which you can read about in the November 8 edition). This week highlights a couple more of the exciting amenities being introduced – the new Spa Boutique and Cold Plunge Pool.
At the Fitness Center
When Members asked for a cold plunge, the Member Fitness Center answered! Located on the Member Fitness Pool deck, the Cold Plunge Pool, which can be used after a heavy workout or even on rest days, offers plenty of health benefits, such as reducing muscle soreness and inflammation, releasing endorphins and hormones, and constricting and dilating blood vessels. Due to high Member demand and these great benefits, the Cold Plunge will prove an invaluable addition to the already vast array of Member Fitness Center offerings.
Looking to give it a try? The new one-person occupancy Cold Plunge can be used for a suggested 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on fitness goals, but can be used up to 5 minutes per session. Members interested in trying cold plunging or wanting to learn more can do so under the guidance or supervision of a Member Fitness Specialist by contacting 305-367-5820.
That’s not all that is new at the Member Fitness Center! Tomorrow, Saturday, November 16, the Fitness Team will host ORC’s first ever Swim Mile Challenge (weather permitting). This open-water mile event begins and ends at Buccaneer Island with ORC Swim Club Coach and 5x Olympic Gold Medalist Jon Olsen as the emcee. To register, contact the Member Fitness Center at 305-367-5820.
In the Fishing Village
The Spa Boutique, located between Reef Gallery and Vineyard Vines’ women’s store, opens Tuesday, November 19 with expanded retail offerings and trunk shows.

While the original Member Fitness location still offers great products along with its regular spa and salon services, the new Spa Boutique will act as an expansion to feature new high-end skincare, hair care, and makeup lines, such as Elemis, ESPA, Borghese, and Spa Ritual. The Spa Boutique will present jewelry, accessories, gift items and makeup (with a dedicated makeup-tester area) from all of your Spa favorites as well as a few new offerings to discover.
Additionally, the Spa Boutique will be host to a variety of skincare events, makeup events and trunk shows throughout the season. Join the team for its Grand Opening on Friday, November 22 from 4-6 p.m., where there will be cocktails and sale items. If you have any questions, you may contact The Spa at 305- 367-6506.
