Eternal Oasis Open House
Who: Everyone (add your tags if you attend)
Where: Eternal Oasis Spa in Dorinta
When: Saturday, 18 December, 2025
Summary: It's time to put up the tree
The Eternal Oasis Spa. Vivianne adored the imagery that name suggested. Unending. Never-changing. Relaxation. Luxury. And that was what she'd built into the establishment that would act as a gateway to her other, more exclusive, endeavours here on this backwards little island.
Décor ran toward a simple, yet lush style. Lines were clean in both functioning design and the spare pieces of art adorning the walls. Candles afforded most of the lighting, set in precise groupings in each room. The fabrics and colours, however, were anything but plain. To offset the neutral cream walls, chairs and sofas, linens, etc. were in rich browns, vibrant oranges, and deep golds or greens for accents, crafted from silks and satins, chenilles and egyptian cottons.
The reception itself was held in the front part of the property that would serve as the day spa and drop-in centre. The waitstaff was made up of a combination of spa employees and assorted other members of Vivianne's staff, serving hors d'oeuvres and champagne. In the main reception area, a string quartet was playing, while out in the central garden a small area had been set up for select performances in voice and dance -- all performers chosen from amoung the young men and women who worked for Vivianne's more exclusive interests.
Tours of the weekend stay facilities that made up the back of the property, consisting mostly of small 'bungalows' for private pampering, were conducted every half an hour through the length of the party.
And, of course, Vivianne herself, in a 1890s inspired vintage dress of gold silk and brown velvet, was on hand to greet guests as well as looking for prospective future clients -- for all her business ventures.
