Verna Herry - Founder

Having met her husband here during a visit to Portland in 2006, Verna immediately knew the area would be so much more than a home. Coming from a big family, Verna loves the close community feel of Portland and the warmth it brings. “I was instantly welcomed into the heart of the community and have made some wonderful friends. I’m very much a ‘people person’ and owning and running the spa is a dream come true. To be able to support the community and local charities is wonderful and something I feel very passionate about.”

Verna, who considers Portland her home from home, says the island is a happy reminder of her native Grenada. “Being surrounded by water and the feel of the sea air on my skin are a constant comfort, and the scenery by Fortunes Well reminds me of childhood adventures in Market Hill, St George’s.”

Having studied for a BSc(Hons) degree in International Spa Management and boasting an impressive CV with time at Steiner Transocean Ltd and Ragdale Hall, it has always been a dream to have her own spa. “It’s a dream come true to have my own spa and provide such a valued service to the people of Portland. I am proud to call the island my home.”

“I have passion for what I do. Everybody needs to take time out from their hectic lives and just relax once in a while, and finding somewhere to truly get away in the South is not easy. That’s why I’m delighted to offer treatments and rituals to help clients escape, unwind and leave the spa feeling totally recharged and refreshed.”

“With regularly refreshed special offers and an exciting new treatment menu there’s something for everyone, whatever their budget. In response to recent feedback, we are pleased to introduce a new range of weekday offers”

“The health & wellbeing of our clients & members is always our priority. Thus, unlike other spas, treatment clients don’t need to be a member to enjoy the fabulous spa and facilities.”
