Take couples therapy to a whole new level
Most spas tout the "three R's:" relaxation, rejuvenation, and renewal. But we've rounded up a global list that embraces a fourth R – Romance. Aromatic mineral pools and private, candlelit, seaside massage terraces are just a few of the perks in our list of favorites. But with spas springing up everywhere, you want to be sure you don't end up wasting money at an overpriced (or over-hyped) facial factory. We sent spa expert (and former editor-in-chief of Spa Magazine) Maryann Hammers to seek out the most alluring, luxe spas across the planet. Start your pampering plans here with these ten seductive retreats that all promise to help you love your body.
