Let’s face it, there’s no better way to daydream about escaping the cold weather than imaging a massage, cozy robe, and pair of warm slippers. Plan a weekend getaway to seek out luxury and relaxation at one of these warm-weather retreats, whose unique treatments include lava-filled shells and even tequila, that will restore you to a balanced, healthy state.

In Anguilla… Lava-Filled Warm Shell Massage – At Malliouhana, which recently unveiled a signature Auberge Spa following a property-wide renovation, large shells filled with lava and saltwater amazingly generate their own heat. Unify these with the therapist’s exquisite touch and muscle tension melts away in a treatment room or private outdoor cabana after playing on the nearby championship golf course or private lesson with the in-house tennis pro. (90 minutes/$225)

In St. Barth’s… Delicious Body Scrub – This 45 minute body scrub found at Le Sereno provides a deep but gentle exfoliation, perfect for sloughing off dry winter skin exclusively using Sothys products and techniques. Spa seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces to create a Caribbean oasis for the senses, and its waterfront treatment pavilion is one-of-a-kind amongst spas in St. Barths. (45 minutes/$107)

In Nicaragua… Seawater Pearl Ritual – At Spa Mukul, Boluses filled with pure seaweed and seawater pearls are massaged into the skin to bring vitality, nourishment and suppleness serving as a “super-hydrating star” for dry and dehydrated skin and immediate “moisture booster” and high-performance elasticity enhancer. A porcelain heating mask nourishes your face while your aesthetician performs an eye and hand treatment, completing this ritual. (90 minutes/$240)

In Cabo San Lucas… Tequila Soothing Body Treatment – If it’s good for the spirit, it must be good for the body. The tequila soothing body treatment at The Spa at Esperanza starts with a salt and lime body exfoliation. Guests then enjoy an aloe vera and honey mask with refreshing mint leaves followed by a tequila agave wrap for silky smooth skin. After a body rinse, a light facial begins using yogurt and oats mask. The treatment is completed with a full body massage using enriched agave massage oil. For a grand finale this treatment pairs with a Paloma cocktail, consisting of white tequila, grapefruit and lime juice. (120 minutes/$355) |
Thanks for this information! I am looking to get away from the cold and retreat and your article gave me some great choices to think about. I’m seriously considering your suggested Cabo San Lucas package, the Tequila Soothing Body Treatment. Thanks again! Cindy
