Spa 101 at the Hilton Bentley Hotel in South Beach has only been open a little over a month, but in that time, owner and spa director Iris van de Coevering has gotten rave reviews for the organic spa’s incredible customized treatments, nurturing vibe, laidback ambiance and overall friendly atmosphere. Van de Coevering, a former art director for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and other fashion and beauty publications in Europe, and her husband, Patrick, decided to set up shop in what they feel is developing into the most dynamic neighborhood on Miami Beach. “The neighborhood south of Fifth Street has a great mix of people, which makes it a very cosmopolitan village,” van de Coevering says. “Spa 101 is all about enhancing your natural beauty and revitalizing your body and skin through quality organic products and all-natural treatments, and I wanted to show off some of the interesting men and women who embrace this lifestyle.” The organic products and treatments van de Coevering speaks of are used with techniques she perfected while studying at The Royal Palace in Thailand and operating a spa in Bali. All services include an element of massage and are tailored to each individual for a blissfully personal experience;
