spa resorts
Relaxation vacation spots
Spa resorts are vacation destinations that combine lodging with therapeutic treatments—massages, facials, mineral baths, and wellness programs.
The spa element distinguishes them from ordinary hotels or beach resorts: We spent a week at a spa resort in Arizona.
They range from luxury retreats to affordable getaways, typically emphasizing relaxation and health.
