Ah Spaaaaaaaa!!!

What comes into your mind when you hear the word spa? For me, it immediately means calm, serenity, relaxation and peace. In the past several years, spas have evolved to cater to all kinds of people. Just as such, it would be nice to show some of the spas that, I think, deserve a chance to be experienced and perhaps to be patronized...you'll never know?!

From the top:

Neo and Ki Spas in the Philippines: With a Budji Layug + Royal Pineda designed beachfront spa in Boracay, and a modern and chic branch at the Global City of Fort Bonifacio, and with the newest boutique spa in Greenhills called Ki (which specializes in reflexology), this group of spas cater to every client with sophistication and privacy that each client seeks in this busy metropolis. http://www.neo.ph/

The Evian Spa for women is one of the most popular in Shanghai. No other spa will flood you with Evian water in special white treatment rooms facing Pudong's legendary skyscrapers.

Any of the gorgeous spas in the Maldives. I think it's the view and wonderful people that make the spas over there truly out of this world. The underwater spa at Huvafen Fushi is the most unique in the region. www.huvafenfushi.com

La Prairie Spa in Switzerland. The most luxurious facial treatments in world are provided here in this super chic country.

Molton Brown spas in the premium lounges of British Airways worldwide. Such a convenient way to rid oneself of those horrible jet lags and stiff necks! And with a view of planes taking off, it makes the treatments here not just surreal but perfect for aviation fanatics such as myself. www.ba.com

So why don't you try out any of the spas above and have all your senses soothed. Finally, you'd be able to relate to Queen Latifah's film about last-minute hedonism which I truly adored...Last Holiday!
