Change Your Body, Change Your Life at a Destination Spa

Destination spas, unlike day or resort spas, are an experience of full immersion in a healthful lifestyle. You don't just "pop in" for a quick massage; you make a commitment to yourself, to making changes in your habits, your attitudes - and your life.

They have become more popular in recent years and exist in some of the most exotic places in the world.

Often luxurious, they are full-service resorts that revolve around wellness treatments, meditation activities, yoga, and nutritious exotic cuisines.

Destination spas offer an overall wellness experience that includes fitness classes, treatments using healing minerals, chakras and other various mind/body healing techniques, nutritious, light cuisine, and activities ranging from hiking and biking to yoga and meditation.

Life-altering changes don't happen overnight; while you might enjoy a quick body wrap to lose a few pounds of water weight, long-term weight loss, like other long-term changes, requires a more concentrated, sustained effort. The goal is to develop healthy habits that continue long after the guest has returned home.

Therefore, programs usually run for a week or more, allowing time to focus on your health and well-being and make long-term changes. Many facilities employ medical doctors and other health professionals as consultants, and most will design a program with your needs and goals in mind.

Activities offered by destination spas vary, and tend to directed by local culture. In the U.S., you'll find horseback riding and sports massage, while in the Caribbean you can have a lomi lomi massage on the beach. European spas tend to be elegant (sometimes located in a castle!), while in Asia you may stay in a thatched-roof hut over the water - but facilities all over the world offer a variety of programs and treatments, so you're bound to find something suitable near you.

If you are looking for something a little more intense - and a little more meaningful - than a facial and massage, look into destination spas. You can change your outlook, and change your life!
