Serenity by the sea Spa offers an extensive menu of rejuvenating treatments to suit any mood and dissolve away the stress of the day. You'll come here for exercise, relaxation and beautification and always leave with that satisfied sigh. Fitness buffs can work out on a full lineup of the latest True & Precor and Cybex equipment or work with our personal trainer.
Afterwards, we recommend a little indulgence, with a visit to the private men's and women's spa areas, complete with cascading whirlpools, sauna, steam room and lounge. Or skip the exercise altogether and go right for a decadent spa treatment, hydrotherapy or customized massage. Serenity by the sea Spa is hard to resist, all it takes is a call for us to arrange a massage in a private massage suite. A sense of inner peace is a beautiful thing.

Your VIP Pass Experiences
Multi-city
In 1992, New York Offstage began, when founder, Bev Sambrotto, left her role as Assistant Director of Visitor Services at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Her tenure at Lincoln Center gave her invaluable experience as a producer of refined cultural events. This experience included talent recruitment and coordination with world-class talent from Lincoln Center’s companies, cutting edge event planning and production for Fortune 500 corporations, and creative, interactive program content for patrons, and international travel and luxury group clients. New York Offstage flourished as the industry leader in these immersive, behind-the-scenes experiences showcasing New York’s cultural world.
As the company grew it was evident that its services and business model could be copied in other leading cultural destinations and in 2007 the brand was renamed The Offstage Group.
Until 2012 The Offstage Group served groups of all sizes. The company had weathered several economic downturns and as a safeguard changed its business model to include memorable experiences for individual travelers. Your VIP Pass was born!
