When daily life starts to feel too harried and overstimulated, it’s natural to seek out travel experiences that can help you reset.

The Greenwich Hotel
The Greenwich Hotel puts you in the heart of Tribeca near the West Village and Soho, two of New York’s liveliest neighborhoods. Still, even in the city that never sleeps, you may want to slow down the pace – and this hotel spa invites rest. Warmly lit by flickering lanterns, Asian-inspired Shibui Spa is dedicated to the philosophy of balance and employs plant-based products. Sip a cup of complimentary tea, take a dip in the traditional Japanese bath, and try the Omakase Facial. Offered as a 60-, 90-, or 120-minute experience, it’s designed to sculpt and invigorate, leaving you refreshed for a night out on the town.
Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas
Turn up the tranquility at Spa Alila at Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas. Five treatment rooms, separate saunas for men and women, and local minerals and botanicas used by native peoples all foster a deeper connection to your soul and to the earth. Start your day with morning yoga atop a stunning coastal bluff or maybe a long walk on the sun-drench sand spread out beneath the bluff-side hotel. At day’s end, plush rooms with spectacular coastline views make it easy to decompress.
Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal
At Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, the generous accommodations give you room to relax, and many feature private outdoor fire pits and terraces. When you’re ready to venture out, head to the Waldorf Astoria Spa for treatments inspired by the moon, sea, and traditional Mexican folk healing methods. Center yourself at a daily yoga class or opt for the Moon Yoga, a transformative session bathed in the Mexican moonlight. Adding to the tranquility, there’s the brilliant blue Pacific just beyond. Enjoy a quiet beachside moment, swim with turtles, and keep your eye out for whale sightings.
Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti
Nature, luxury, and unspoiled beauty harmoniously co-exist at Lefay Resort & SPA Dolomiti, an Italian mountain paradise, where you can ski the slopes of Madonna Di Campiglio in winter and hike or horseback ride in summer. Whatever the season, soothe your muscles at Lefay Spa. An expansive area of indoor and outdoor pools and saunas offer brilliant reflections of you and the natural beauty of the landscape. A large whirlpool evokes the healing power of ancient spas, and a salt-water lake and salt grotto add essential minerals to your pampered experience.
Four Seasons Resort Lana'i
Four Seasons Resort Lana’i perches on a bluff among palm trees and gardens and above protected marine sanctuary of Hulopo’e Bay. Relax by lagoon-style pools or reconnect body and spirit at Hawanawana Spa; the Lanai Tai Signature Scrub uses ingredients such as fresh pineapple mixed with honey and sugar. The Spa menu also includes facial and massage treatments, meditation, yoga, and Reiki. Afterwards, keep your sense of calm going with a soak in the lagoon-style pool or a sail aboard the resort’s catamaran.
La Reserve Paris Hotel and Spa
Near the Champs-Élysées, La Reserve Paris delivers on location and Old World charm, with dreamy views of the Eiffel Tower and 40 antique-filled rooms and suites set in a handsome Haussmann-style 19th-century building. The Spa at La Réserve Paris specializes in anti-aging treatments with the products of Swiss brand Nescens; the Nescens Ritual combines an hour-long destressing massage with a luxurious anti-aging facial and cosmeceutical hand treatment. Pedicure or manicure services feature non-toxic polish line Kure Bazaar, and there’s a full-service fitness center where you can join yoga, Pilates, and hour-long personal training sessions.
The Yeatman
Oenophiles and wellness enthusiasts alike will find their passions blend together at The Yeatman. On the banks of the Douro River in the Alto Douro wine region, the boutique hotel’s Yeatman Wine Spa incorporates local varietals into its experiences. Take a dip in a grape-scented barrel with the anti-oxidizing Red Wine Grape Bath or indulge in the Wine Ritual, a head-to-toe massage featuring a buffet of natural oils. Beyond the spa, you can savor Portuguese wines with tastings at the hotel restaurant and terrace café; the Yeatman has partnerships with many of the region’s finest producers.3

Casa Cipriani Milano
Casa Cipriani Milano’s fine interior design mirrors the fashion capital’s dedication to elegance and aesthetics. The boutique hotel exudes glamor, with a generous use of glossy lacquered wood, Venetian Venini chandeliers, marble, and bold photography. To reach the hotel’s Wellness Center – featuring both a spa and beauty center – you pass through a lagoon-like gallery that leads to a refined refuge featuring Finnish cedar wood saunas, green onyx steam rooms, and an invigorating ice waterfall. Reset with a float in the spa’s 8-percent salinity floatation pool, then head to the beauty center for a purifying HydraFacial. Still need to shed some tension? The spa offers customized body massages to meet individual needs.
Finca Cortesín Hotel Golf & Spa
In the foothills near the Andalusian coast of southern Spain, Finca Cortesin Hotel Golf & Spa encompasses lavish gardens, an 18-hole golf course, and an expansive spa with Thai therapists on hand. The facilities include areas for massages and treatments such as a detoxifying thermal seaweed wrap; an indoor heated salt-water swimming pool; and thermal baths with a snow cave. Plus, you can pursue yoga and meditation at a dedicated hilltop center with awe-inspiring views of the surrounding mountains and Mediterranean Sea.
Nayara Bocas del Toro
A blissful, adults-only resort on a private island in the Bocas del Toro archipelago, Nayara Bocas del Toro makes you feel at one with your surroundings. Balinese-style accommodations focus on indoor-outdoor living. Villas include either a private saltwater pool or an inlaid glass floor perfect for viewing marine life while treehouses stand 50 feet above the ground and are crafted from locally harvested bamboo. Settle in for a couples massage right on your private terrace – or head to the spa for a Dead Sea salt scrub.
JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge
JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge attracts travelers eager to get up close and personal with animals that call the surrounding savanna home. The lodge’s 20 luxurious safari tents feature tribal-inspired décor, private outdoor whirlpools, and decks that overlook the Talek River. The Spa Complex is outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, meaning there’s a chance you might spy wildlife roaming the surrounding nature reserve; it’s home to lions, African elephants, rhinoceros, Cape buffalo, and leopards. Massages use products from organic South African skincare line Healing Earth, like sumptuous jojoba and coconut oils. You could also take part in a guided Masai Celebration yoga experience that incorporates local botanicals.
Mandarin Oriental, Sanya
Located on China’s Hainan Island, a tropical haven at the nation’s southernmost point, Mandarin Oriental, Sanya feels wonderfully serene. Many rooms feature water views, and the Spa & Wellness Center encourages you to let go of any lingering stress. With eight private treatment rooms, eight double suites with their own sauna and steam rooms, and two VIP villas that open up to a private garden, the center is expansive while retaining a feeling of intimacy and seclusion. The signature Singing Bowl massage (singing bowls have long been used by Hindus and Buddhists to aid spiritual focus) and Hainan’s Hidden Secret massage are two examples of treatments rooted in ancient regional arts. The latter massage uses warm seashells to ease away tension while firming and brightening the skin. A Shaolin Kung Fu Master is on hand to provide Tai Chi lessons, and you can go deeper in your wellness journey by booking a multi-day spa retreat.
Rosewood Bangkok
In the heart of Thailand’s capital city, Rosewood Bangkok is a 30-story urban oasis with a striking exterior inspired by the shape of wai, the Thai hand gesture of greeting. Suites come equipped with spacious private terraces that deliver sweeping views of the bustling city below. The hotel spa Sense feels even further removed from the Bangkok streets, thanks to herbal healing treatments that draw from traditional Thai medicine. The Tai Pew Ngam massage, for one, features a body scrub comprising red lime, tamarind, Khi Lek leaves, and uncooked rice to naturally brighten and exfoliate.
