1. Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora

Nestled in a lagoon surrounded by tropical greenery and the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Four Seasons Resort Spa in Bora Bora is something out of a dream. While patrons come to their private villa to relieve stress with a Polynesian massage, this breathtaking view alone will make you contemplate if this should even be considered ‘work.’

2. Ayana Resort and Spa

Why has this Balinese paradise been dubbed “spa on the rocks?” For starters, treatments can range anywhere from a lava rock body scrub to a jade stone facial or a diamond body soak. That’s a lot of pebbles!In addition to these rocky treatments, the most intriguing parts of this resort sit atop two enormous rocks in the Indian Ocean. These two private spa villas are known as the “pinnacle” of the Ayana Resort and Spa. Once inside, all that surrounds you are the sounds of the sea, the smell of the ocean-breeze and the gentle mist rolling off of the current.

3. Aman Spa at Amangiri

“Built around a central swimming pool with spectacular views, the resort blends into its dramatic surrounds where deep canyons and towering plateaus create a raw landscape of immense power. Amangiri’s Aman Spa features a floatation therapy pavilion, water pavilion with sauna, steam room, cold plunge and step pool, fitness center and yoga pavilion.” – via amanresort.com

Located in the lava fields of Iceland, lies the countries most visited attraction, the Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa. This crystal blue oasis is the definition of hot and steamy. The warm waters are rich with skin beautifying minerals, like silica and sulphur – hence why so many clamor to bathe (or get a massage) in these impeccable springs.
