Top ten spas in America.

Standard

Nearly veryone can enjoy and appreciate a relaxing day at the spa.  These spas spare nothing when it comes to luxury and accomodating their guests every need.  So, take a sip of that minty cucumber water and discover the top ten spas in America with me.

Number 10:  The Spa at CopperWynd Resort

Fountain Hills/Scottsdale, Arizona

This spa features two swimming pools, one spacious resort-style pool and one invigorating lap pool.  Plus, a 5,000 square foot fitness center.  But, who wants to excercise at the spa?  Let’s get to the relaxing part.  They feature all the basic massages:  relaxation, Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone and specialty treatments such as raindrop therapy, a Native American technique that involves sweeping a feather upwards along the spine and 9 different essential oils.

Number 9:  The Spa at the Hotel Hershey

Hershey Pennsylvania

Hint:  Some of their body treatments involve chocolate!

Number 8:  The Lodge at Woodloch, Pennsylvania

Number 7:  Joya Spa at InterContinental Montelucia Resort & Spa

Scottsdale, Arizona

Number 6:  Heavenly Spa by Westin

Hilton Head, South Carolina

Number 5:  Montage Resort Spa

Laguna Beach, California

This spa’s “palette of therapies” includes reflexology massage, balancing massage, a symphony in therapies which features two therapists, and togetherness massage allowing “you and your partner to share in blissful relaxation.”

Number 4:  Spa Palazzo at Boca Raton Resort & Club

Boca Raton, Florida

Number 3:  The Spa at Manele at the Four Seasons Resort

Lana’i, Hawaii

Number 2:  Ritz Carlton Orlando Great Lakes

Orlando, Florida 

Number 1:  Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara, California

The Four Seasons, Santa Barbara boasts 11 treatment rooms including four day suites each with a fireplace.  There is a stone therapy massage featuring hot and cold stones.  Their “clear mind” massage uses aromatherapeutic oils such as peppermint, lavender, chamomile and patchouli.

Just say Aaaaahhhh...

It was incredibly enjoyable to research these spas and some of their unsuspecting locations.  Keep in mind, these massages range from $135 to $240.  The benefit of going to a spa is that you are able to enjoy their pools, hot tubs, and saunas for the entire day.  It brought back memories of being on my honeymoom with my husband last year in St. Lucia.  We did a couples massage and as far as I’m concerned it was money well spent.  We deserve to treat ourselves.
