Spa hotels are springing up in most resort areas, urban areas, and anywhere that one would find a four or five star hotel. Staying in an establishment such as this has always been a unique pleasure for very special occasions, and for those who like to treat themselves to the finest in luxury and amenities. These establishments earn their stars because they are adept at leaving no stone unturned when it comes to attending to the comfort of their guests, and in making sure that their stay is one to be remembered.
When most people think about a four or five star hotel, they picture beautiful grounds, an elegant lobby and lavish rooms and suites. Most expect the best of the best service including perhaps a fitness center, business center or wireless in every room, an elegant breakfast or brunch, room service, and of course top notch concierge service that can steer guests to the best places in the area for food, drinks, and entertainment. When it comes to luxurious spa treatments, the best hotels are now also offering the most unique treatments in town right on site.
Marrying the best in accommodations with the preeminent spa experience is becoming increasingly popular and it's easy to see why. In a stressful world, the need for more creative ways to unwind and be pampered is high on the list for those who can afford such luxuries. The types of treatment available vary greatly (as do, naturally, the costs), and many of these hotel and spa establishments offer everything from basic manicures and pedicures to an assortment of the more high-end treatments such as mineral wraps and relaxation massages. Some spa hotels even offer special couples spa sessions complete with rose petals soaks, champagne, and chocolates.
The desire and need for relaxation and self indulgence seems to have melded gloriously and creatively with traditional therapeutic treatments in many of these luxury hotels, and the best of them offer a menu of treatments that are nothing less than cutting edge. There are so many different types available that no one should have any problem finding one that speaks to them. In some resorts guests can choose from selections including mud treatments to purify the skin, body-firming and anti-aging treatments, rebalancing, reshaping, and hydrating treatments, all of which are great at reducing stress and inducing a state of total relaxation. For those seeking the truly unique and perhaps more exotic, shamanic healing treatments can be found in many locales. Most spas offer "green" treatments that use only earth-friendly oils and extracts, while flowers and fruits feature largely in the ingredients.
Prices for this kind of pampering vary a little bit, but are all, of course, generally on the higher end. However, at spa resorts, pampering is the name of the game, so these types of treatments are often part of a package plan, with the option of ordering more items a la carte. Luxury hotels have long offered these types of services, but the variety now available at spa resorts just might exceed your wildest dreams. The rates for spa treatments at hotels and resorts are generally comparable to those found in town, which is just another reason to choose a spa resort that has thought of everything to make your stay the best it can be.
Luxury isn't cheap, but for many it's worth every cent.
