HISTORY
Carole Coombs had owned a popular day spa in Salt Lake, called Bel Viso. In 1989, she began offering spatreatments for Green Valley owners and renters. She sent invitations to her former clientele in Salt Lake,
announcing the re-opening of Bel Viso at Green Valley. Green Valley's reputation began to grow as a spa retreat.
Carole moved the spa operation into a four-bedroom condominium, added a complete spa package of healthy
meals, Pilate lessons, stress reduction, meditation techniques, and guided hikes. By the spring of 1998, the spa
was outgrowing the existing facilities. The Green Valley Spa was built with 35 separate hotel suites, a new
restaurant, weight room, aerobic rooms, treatment center, and indoor tennis courts. Two years later, the success
of the spa required the construction of 11 additional grand suites.
