Luxury Pampering Spas

The levels of luxury vary, but the experience is always all about the pampering. If you're thinking about the cream-of-the-crop spas, imagine entering a world where staff members outnumber guests three to one, remember your name, and are eager to take care of your every need. That is the essence of luxury pampering. You are immersed in a fantasy of care, attention, and detail to relax, inspire, and rejuvenate you. You can indulge in nearly every treatment you've ever heard of: aromatherapy, grape-seed scrubs, paraffin wraps, and more.

If the concept still seems foreign, try a little guided imagery. Picture a day beginning with an early morning walk followed by invigorating fitness classes in a beautiful studio, water aerobics under the bright sun, and sumptuous spa meals that don't taste like diet food. Cap off the day with a series of indulgent treatments, a sauna, and a good night's sleep under luxurious linens. Repeat. You may feel the need to do some sort of penance after all this indulgence, but you are likely to agree that it's well worth it.
