It’s National Spa Week April 11–17 but don’t let it be the only week that you treat yourself to pampering and rejuvenation at a beauty or wellness spa. A spa visit is both a calming and an energizing experience. You will leave with a renewed dedication to a healthy regimen, inside and out.
Depending on the experience, expect to spend $80–$400 per service or $1,000–2,500 for a three– or four–night stay. Here are six Day and Away Spas with locations near and far.
St. Somewhere Spa at Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort
1111 North Ocean Drive
Hollywood, FL 33019
(954) 874-4429

I recently took time from visiting old friends and family in my hometown of Miami to have a mani–pedicure at Margaritaville Beach Resort‘s St. Somewhere Spa in Hollywood, Florida. With eight Margaritaville hotels in the US South and Caribbean, Margaritaville in Hollywood, Florida is the newest resort. As you can expect, the spa’s services have Jimmy Buffet themes. How about a “Lost Shaker of Salt Scrub”? St. Somewhere is a full service beauty and wellness spa that I plan to return to every time I go home.

Atlanta, GA 30305

Remède Spa’s signature feature is that it will customize facials and body treatments. Remède offers a wide range of services from body wraps, massages, waxing to hot stone treatments. There are also packages for wedding parties, for tired athletes and to pamper mother for half a day. Laboratoire Remède products are used exclusively at St. Regis Hotel’s spas all over the world (Abu Dhabi, Aspen, Atlanta, Bal Harbour, Bali, Deer Valley, Doha, Mexico City, Puerto Rico, Punta Mita, San Francisco, Singapore).
Mandara Spa at Atlantis Paradise Island Hotel
Paradise Island, The Bahamas
(242) 363-2000 ext. 65900
http://www.atlantisbahamas.com/thingstodo/spa
Since my relatives live in the Bahamas, when I get there, I try to spend as much time as I can with them. But I stole away and had an amazing time at this spa which combines ancient Balinese healing techniques, traditional European therapies, and natural Bahamian elements. What sounds more like the Bahamas than Elemis “Frangipani Body Nourish Wrap”? Choose the Alfresco Massage and relax while listening to the ocean. Find these spas in Aruba, China, Disneyland and Disney World, Egypt, Guam, Japan, Indonesia, Las Vegas Malaysia, North Carolina, Russia, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and on Norwegian Cruise Lines.
milk + honey Spa and Salon
2800 Kirby Drive
Houston, TX 77098
(713) 231-0250
http://milkandhoneyspa.com/locations/houston-location-hours/
“Austin’s Favorite Spa” has opened a location in Houston, my college town. These spas offer a variety of treatments using organic and natural ingredients — mani-pedicures use non-toxic LVX polish. Another specialty are the scrubs, massages, mani-pedicures and peels that change with the seasons: pomegranate products for the winter, pumpkin in fall and orange blossom in the spring.
Wayne Agassi Salon & Spa
477 Bergen St
Brooklyn, NY 11217
(347) 227-7249
While the Wayne Agassi Spa is located only in Brooklyn, it is an Aveda Concept Spa; thus it’s one of the many spas and salons in the world that exclusively use Aveda products. Aveda’s Ayurvedic principles include the use of aromatherapy. Total body wellness is such a focus that clients in the Wayne Agassi hair salon sit in massage chairs during shampoos!
Mario Badescu Skin Care Salon Spa
320 East 52 Street
New York, NY
(212) 758-1065 or (800) BADESCU
https://www.mariobadescu.com/Best-Facial-In-New-York-City
For years, Mario Badescu Salon Day Spa has been my favorite New York City place for facial treatments. There are collagen treatments, gold and pearl mask facials, seaweed wraps, reflexology, electrolysis and more. While New Yorkers can enjoy personalized services, Mario Badescu products can be found in stores all over the world. A new item, Botanical Exfoliating scrub, was launched last year and would be obvious to use with other Mario Badescu products at home to turn your bathroom into a “Stay Spa”.
Stay Spa? You can save that for another day, because there’s nothing like being indulged and pampered away from home…
