Island Retreat is my absolute go-to spa! The owner, Alicia, is a true gem, knowledgeable and professional. I had another facial with Nancy and am so pleased with her work! She listens to your concerns about your skin and provides a peaceful environment for your treatment. The facial, with dermabrasion, was so relaxing and my skin was glowing afterwards. My skin is clear and vibrant since seeing Nancy and I am already planning my next visit to see her!

Island Retreat is a wonderful Medical Spa. I've received fraxel facial treatments from Alicia, and I love the results since receiving many compliments on my glowing skin. Thank you! I'll be back.

Alicia makes you feel relaxed & very comfortable. I have had many laser hair treatments with her & wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. I drive from CT to RI to see her!

This was my first time at Island Retreat and I just want to say that Linnea did an amazing job with my facial. She was very professional, I felt very relaxed, and my face feels amazing. I definitely recommend going to see Linnea and Alicia! I will definitely be going back!

I’ve come to Alicia for laser hair removal for years now - even when I was living in Boston, I would book my appointments around trips back to Portsmouth so I could continue to be an Island Retreat client! Alicia is warm, accommodating, and so great at what she does. The space is beautiful and has a spa-like atmosphere - they’re also so conscientious about booking you so you don’t feel rushed at the appointment. 10/10 recommend!

Premier MedSpa on Aquidneck Island! Wouldn't go anywhere else. Alicia transformed my skin and can trust no matter who I see, they'll provide the appropriate procedure and at the highest quality. Linnea has an eye for aesthetics and takes a more natural approach. She takes time to explain everything and goes above and beyond to make me feel educated and comfortable about what I'm interested in.

What a pleasure to have services at the Island Retreat! The Spa is clean, sterile and comforting. As a 49 year old woman, knowing Alicia has helped save my skin from past sun damage. I have had various treatments and have never been disappointed with the end results. Dr. HummeI, the licensed physician at the spa is also a pleasure and extremely knowledgeable on the services provided. Treat yourself, I know you will not regret it!
