Relax. Rejuvenate. Refresh. Repeat. How spa-ctacular does that sound?

I’m an all-out spa junky and not ashamed to admit it! Given a chance, I’d live in the lap of spa luxury forever where I’m pampered with a host of indulgent wellness treatments every day. Without a care in the world, the only focus would be my mind, body and soul.

Back to reality.

Sitting in my office cubicle, punching away on my keyboard, I can only hope that my daydreams come true! Till then, I have to be content browsing my bookmarked favourites of the best places for a spa-cation for women.

Kerala

It’s true folks, some of the most well-known Ayurveda spa treatments are in our very own backyard or rather in God’s Own Country. Kerala is home to several wellness resorts that offer a variety of treatments. Rooted in traditional Ayurveda practices and combing naturopathy and yoga, treatments focus on stress management, detoxing and rejuvenation. Kerala massages incorporate the use of herbal medicated oil and popular massages include Abhyanga and Shirodhara.

Thailand

Unfortunately, some of Thailand’s spas have a dubious reputation. That aside, if you do your homework and some basic research, you’ll uncover a world of amazing spas in every corner of every city in Thailand. From day spas in buzzing Bangkok to a multitude of resorts that focus on spa-holidays in idyllic Hua Hin or coastal Krabi, Thailand is where you can enjoy a traditional Thai foot massage, Javanese lulur scrub or a relaxing Swedish massage. There are treatments for all areas – the neck, back, shoulders…all of which will leave you relaxed and rejuvenated.

Switzerland

Switzerland is where some of the world’s finest spa and beauty products come from like gold infused facial creams and caviar eye creams. The Alpine wonderland has all the makings for a serene spa holiday with its crisp air and quiet surroundings. In small hamlets nestled in the mountains is where you’ll find world-class spas offering thermal baths and unique treatments including body wraps. Swiss bliss never felt so good.

Maldives

Picture yourself lying on a massage table under a shaded canopy on a white sandy beach. The wind sweeping through your hair and a view of the turquoise hued clear waters of the Indian Ocean to soothe your senses. Welcome to paradise on earth. Welcome to the Maldives! A much sought after destination even amongst celebrities, the many exclusive boutique resorts in the Maldives offer the ultimate luxury spa getaway complete with personalised treatments and diets. However, relaxation does come at a price so be prepared to spend!

Japan

Traditional care and modern facilities is what best describes Japanese spa treatments. From snail facials to a hot stone therapy, the Japanese hold wellness in high esteem. Since Japan is dotted with hundreds of active volcanoes, the heat they generate has created thousands of natural onsens. These natural pools are set to have healing elements due to their high mineral content. Japan offers a spa-cation like nowhere else.
