CuisinArt Resort and Spa, Anguilla

In case you’ve never heard of it, Anguilla is a small British island territory in the Caribbean, not too far from Puerto Rico. The CuisinArt Resort and Spa adds to the ambience of the luscious Caribbean islands, with specialized treatment rooms dedicated to specific purposes, including a couple’s room. The resort is located just one minute from the beach, and from the resort visitors receive fantastic views of the volcanic cones of St. Maarten, a nearby island. The resort can get fairly expensive when it is busy, so to get the best deal, go when not many visitors are expected to show up.

Marquis Los Cabos, Mexico

This spa is part of a larger resort complex, and despite its size, is very quiet. This spa offers all the treatments that spas in the United States would be expected to offer, except that you’ll receive fantastic service and stunning surroundings. This location is perfect for couples on a honeymoon, as the private nature of the spa makes for a romantic getaway.

Brenner’s Park-Hotel and Spa, Baden-Baden, Germany

If you are willing to go a little further afield from the United States and Canada, Germany has several spas just waiting to pamper and reenergize you. One of these spas is Brenner’s Park-Hotel and Spa, located in Baden-Baden, a town renowned worldwide for its fantastic historic spas.  One great feature of this spa is its pool – instead of using copious amounts of chlorine to keep it clean, the hotel managers have decided to use ozone to keep your skin feeling softer than ever. You won’t be the only non-European at this spa if you choose to go, as it is very popular with international visitors.

Hotel Guanahani, Saint Barthélemy

Another fantastic Caribbean spa destination is the Hotel Guanahani on the island of Saint Barthélemy (or ‘St. Barths’).  The hotel has 76 rooms, making the hotel fairly small and private. Once visitors are finished with their spa treatments, they are free to explore the rest of the hotel, which features a watersports building, a gym as well as a tennis court for those up for a quick game. The hotel also features a restaurant with Mediterranean-style meals.

Rosewood Mayakoba, Riviera Maya, Mexico

If you would like to experience Caribbean-style weather and scenery without leaving the North American continental mainland, check out the Rosewood Mayakoba in Mexico. Situated on the nation’s Caribbean coastline, the spa resort is located on a private island just off the coast of Mexico. The spa features several treatment rooms and a personal level of service. Once you’re finished with your treatment, feel free to enjoy the hotel’s other facilities, including a Jacuzzi and a steam room.
