spas
Wellness retreat centers
Spas are establishments offering health and beauty treatments—massages, facials, saunas, and similar services.
The word comes from the Belgian town of Spa, famous for its mineral springs.
A spa can be a resort built around therapeutic waters, a day facility for pampering, or simply a hot tub: The hotel spa offers couples massages.
