spa retreats

Pampering vacation destinations

Spa retreats are getaways centered on relaxation and wellness treatments—massages, facials, saunas, and similar therapies.

Unlike a day spa visit, a retreat typically involves overnight stays at a dedicated facility: She booked a spa retreat in the mountains for her birthday.

The focus is restoration of mind and body, often with yoga, meditation, or healthy cuisine included.
