Spa 2014 • 3

A sweet blend of tantalizing scents emanating, a warm fuzzy feeling of grains scrubbing your back, and the shy flickering light of a ginger-orange candle; a plethora of fragrances, aromas and sensations that will sweep you away.

You are probably imagining the Caribbean islands or the littoral of the French Polynesia. But it is neither Barbados nor Papeete it is just one of those fabulous, über-trendy spas we think you should try.

Imagine yourself wearing a warm soft gown in a cozy room very secluded from the hustle and bustle, soft lights and faint music playing in the background. You will be lying on a bed, tucked under a smooth blanket; your skin being gently massaged with a natural body scrub, feeling great. And next you will be drenched in a sublime herbal steam bath. Very invigorating!

Wild Discovery has selected spas overseas, offering you vital information so the only thing you will have to do is jump on a plane.
