There is nothing that can compare to the absolute decadence of
relaxing in one of the top spa hotels or day spas and indulging in a
pampering regimen of soaks, wraps, massages and facials. Here is a list
of arguably the top spa on each continent – so no matter where you find
yourself, a day of blissful indulgence or a quick pick-me-up is just
around the corner.
7Stoke Park Spa
Consistently rated as one of Europe’s finest spas and always in the
top ten in the UK, Stoke Park is a luxury hotel set in nearly 400 acres
of parkland and historic gardens. With so many pampering treatments on
offer, as well as excellent facilities, this is certainly one of the top
spa hotels UK
wide. Relax in the five meter tropical atrium, be soothed in the
hydro-seat Jacuzzi or unwind in the beautiful steam rooms constructed
from Italian marble.
6Spa of Colonial Williamsburg
The Spa at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia USA is something
special. In a country manor setting, their signature treatments
incorporate an interpretation of 17th century Powhatan Indian health
practices, all while supporting the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, a
charity that operates to preserve the historic capital city.
5Cygalle Healing Spa
Staying in the America’s the Cygalle Healing Spa at Casa de Campo in
the Dominican Republic gives new meaning to the term ‘holistic’ –
gardens onsite provide ingredients used in their body treatments and
products, which are made up immediately before application, treatments
can be carried out on the beach in private gazebos and all masseuses are
trained by the world-renowned Leslie Bruder.
4Pepper Mineral Springs Retreat
The award-winning Pepper Mineral Springs Retreat offers one of Australia’s most acclaimed spa days.
In this rural haven you can experience the Southern hemisphere’s only
lavender-infused basalt stone sauna, indulge in a Pevonia Botanica
signature treatment and take high tea in tranquil and idyllic
surroundings.
3Chiva-Som
In Asia there are almost too many spa hotels and spa days to choose
from, all offering variations of an east meets west philosophy with
holistic treatments and traditional therapies. The Chiva-Som in Thailand
is a haven of relaxation set against a backdrop of sparkling turquoise
sea and golden sandy beaches. Try the signature Salt Scrub or an
Oriental Foot Ritual.
2Spa Hotel Levitunturi
Travelling further north to the Arctic regions, touted as one of the
most northern spa hotels in the world, Spa Hotel Levitunturi offers 17
pools of various sizes and temperatures as well as special saunas, aqua
fitness and separate pools and activities for the children. Located in
Finnish Lapland, the spa has several outdoor jacuzzi’s and pools; and
there is arguably no better experience than floating in a cocoon of warm
water surrounded by the snowy landscape of Lapland.
1Le Boreal
Finally, Antarctica… although only 200,000 people have set foot on
this continent and there are no spa days or spa hotels to be found here,
do not despair! When travelling to this icy continent the voyage is
made by expedition or cruise ships and if careful about the choice of
ship then there is no need to forgo the luxury of hot stone massage or
soak in the hot tub. Le Boreal is an expedition ship with a difference,
elegant accommodation, gourmet cuisine, library, heated pool, salon,
fitness center and of course the spa and steam rooms; allowing guests to
embark on a genuine adventure in comfort and style.
