Spa Vacations

The gentle magic of the Hawaiian Islands provides a perfect setting for healing the body and spirit. Hawaii is one of those rare places where the environment itself has a soothing and calming effect on vacationers. Many spa treatments at Hawaiian spa resorts draw on local products such as coconut and other tropical fruits. And nothing beats a seaside lomilomi massage, with the music of the pounding surf to soothe away tension.

Warm smiles and impeccable service are the hallmarks of Caribbean spa vacations. Local spa specialties include sugar cane body scrubs and dolphin therapy. Or choose a body wrap therapy using the bounties of the ever-present sea: algae, sea salt or marine mud treatments. Caribbean cultures combine the graciousness of island hospitality with European flair -- a perfect environment for nurturing and healing.

With a long tradition of healing, a Mexico spa vacation is a natural choice for those seeking a convenient, culturally rich experience. Indigenous wellness treatments offer benefits to the modern spa customer. For example, the Temazcal sweat lodge ceremony is hailed by many for its cleansing, stress-relieving powers. And native healing herbs are often featured in spa products. Both newcomers and longtime visitors agree: this vast country will always surprise you with its beauty and variety.

Whether relaxing in your secluded overwater bungalow or experiencing an indigenous spa treatment, a Tahiti spa vacation is tranquility on earth. Find soothing lagoon waters, floral breezes, and scenic wonders around each spa to partake in a spirtual-like state of relaxation and rejuvenation.
