Our Top Spa & Wellness Retreats: It's All About You!
The Wellness Pavilion at Laluna, Grenada
After you've baked in the sun, hiked that mountain trail in the wrong shoes, and eaten your way through more than you should have, it's time to get back into a healthy frame of mind. We suggest some "me time" at one of these rejuvenating spa & wellness retreats, where a friendly and professional staff has your best interests in mind.

Laluna, Grenada: Detoxify both mind and body at Laluna's open-air Wellness Pavilion, where you can relax with a glass of tea and enjoy the lush view before heading to the Balinese-style spa for your next pampering session. We suggest the "Rainforest Full Indulgence" treatment, in which a gentle exfoliation scrub is given to renew the skin, then washed away in the spa's soothing Vichy rain shower. This is followed by an application of body mask for a natural detoxification, which is washed away again with the Vichy shower. Finally, the body is dried with scented towels and nourished with a tranquility body cream that leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated.
You also can re-center and get back to a place of balance with daily yoga sessions in Laluna's beachfront yoga pavilion. Offering Hatha, Yin, and Vinyasa yoga as well as Pilates, the open-air pavilion is the perfect place to rejuvenate. Listen to birds sing, the waves roll in, and the wind rustle the leaves as you flow from position to position.
Rosalie Bay Resort, Dominica: Named after the Creole word for water, Gló Spa sits at the edge of Rosalie River and was designed--using local river stones and wood--to reflect the natural elements of the "Nature Island" of Dominica. The spa draws from those same elements to offer farm-to-spa-table treatments that rely heavily on fresh ingredients grown right in Rosalie Bay's own organic gardens. Popular treatments include the Cooling Cucumber Facial, a Coffee Bean Gl body exfoliation, and the Sulphur & Seaweed Wrap that combines local volcanic sulphur mud and freshly powdered seaweed. After your treatment, you'll be invited to sit on the spa veranda and enjoy a glass of fresh coconut water.
Your Hideaways member-only spa perk: A half-hour massage per person followed by a refreshing healthy drink.
Did You Know?
The Caribbean island of St. Lucia dedicates the entire month of November to celebrating health and wellness. A number of popular resorts and restaurants roll out special wellness packages and menus, and healthy activities are designed to inspire guests to explore the island's natural beauty and get some exercise at the same time. You can try jungle biking along tropical terrain, zip-lining through the rain-forest canopy, and hiking forested trails to the iconic Piton Mountains.
Serendipitously, St. James's Club Morgan Bay, located just minutes from world-class Rodney Bay Marina, offers Hideaways members an exclusive perk of one 30-minute spa treatment per person during their stay. The Tranquility Body & Soul Spa is perched in a peaceful hilltop setting with a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea. After a morning on the resort's peaceful beach or out on the water, you can swing by the spa to try its restorative "Bamboo Massage" or a three-hour "Chocolate Spa Experience"--yum!
Grand Hotel Lienz, Austria: This unique wellness hotel combines cutting-edge conventional medicine with complementary medical care, including preventative measures, medical check-ups, individual health consultations, and targeted therapies. It also offers treatments in the areas of beauty, health, nutrition, fitness, "well-aging," and traditional Chinese medicine. At the spa end of the spectrum, you'll be treated to steam and fragrant herbal baths, saunas, a fitness center, an indoor-outdoor pool, and a wealth of relaxing spa treatment packages.
Grand Hotel Lienz was voted "Europe's Leading Wellness Hotel 2016" at this year's prestigious World Travel Awards Europe Gala Ceremony. It also was voted "Austria's Best Wellness Retreat" at the 2016 World Spa Awards.

Alila Villas Uluwatu, Bali: Spa Alila takes a holistic approach to well-being, employing local therapists who are trained in massage, meditation, and anatomical physiology. They also are versed in ancient Asian healing techniques--with a contemporary spin, of course--and age-old beauty recipes using fresh, natural ingredients like ginger, lemongrass, and coconut oil. The resort's stunning Balinese-style spa villas are havens of privacy where you can share a couple's massage followed by a candlelit dinner in a private cabana. Or let the spa treatments come to you, as you relax by your pool or within the privacy of your own villa.
Your Hideaways member-only spa perk: Complimentary dinner or a 90-minute Spa Alila treatment for two (min. stay of 4 nights).
Belmond La Residence Phou Vao, Laos: At Mekong Spa, you can enjoy the unique experience of helping create a custom-designed treatment based on traditional Laotian herbal remedies, using only pure botanical ingredients from local organic farms and gardens. Imagine the soothing qualities of sacred flowers, mandarin oil, lemongrass, and herbal steam as part of your treatment--nirvana! After your spa visit, try a "Meditation on the Mekong" river cruise that stops off for meditation time at a number of small temples. You'll even receive guidance from a certified meditation instructor.
Your Hideaways member-only spa perk: A one-hour massage for two once during your stay.
