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)

 

Private Palapa

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)
