As we hit the middle of September, it’s time to start prepping for your year-end vacation (or if you want to, you can just have one right about now). And the best way to unwind and relax? By booking a stay at one of these spa hotels and beach resorts.
Tucked away in the prettiest of the Aegean islands in Greece, this luxurious resort was designed by Milan-based designer Paola Navone and boasts breathtaking views and stunning interiors. In a consistent colour palette of whites and greys with natural lighting coming through the windows, this ticks all the boxes as one of the most Instagrammable resorts yet. But besides that, the estate’s spa showcases the glorious surroundings and offers a rich menu of treatments such as the traditional hammam and an “emotional shower”.
If you’re itching for an authentic French Riviera experience, then you have to book a stay at this seaside sanctuary along the Mediterranean, set on the coast between St. Tropez and Cannes. What to expect: a natural seawater swimming pool and a swimming lane cut directly into the coastal rock; numerous on-site activities, including an open-air cinema, diving, and even snorkeling.
Opened earlier this year, this new spa hotel features 34 luxurious suites (each comes with a mini wine cellar), personal butler service and private dining. But the biggest draw here is the exciting spa and wellness centre, where aerial yoga and dance classes will be offered to all visitors along with other more conventional treatments.
Targeted to open at the end of 2017, this spa resort is situated in the center of Mustafapasa, a town adjacent to the ruins of world heritage site Cappadocia, with its expansive stone landscape. Besides being set in a stunning, historic town, the luxury resort hotel is dedicated to relaxation and healing. It also comes equipped with a total of 130 rooms, with each suite having its own jacuzzi. Other amenities around the hotel include a spa and an indoor and outdoor pool.
Nestled along the pristine beaches of the Caribbean Sea where the third-largest coral reef resides, this breathtaking resort features elevated suites above the shoreline and villas which lead you directly to the ocean. There is also a selection of amenities which includes prime dining options, secluded beaches, an infinity pool, and the sought after Na spa, which will be available in the first half of 2018. The spa will offer signature salt scrub spa treatments as well as a full range of massages, facials and other body treatments. In the meantime, select spa services such as the Balinese and Hot Stone massages will be available at the ridgetop spa treatment rooms.
