Spiritual Healing at a Spa

While some spas focus on physical and mental health, there are other spas that focus on spiritual health. Spiritual spas encourage their visitors to pursue a spiritual journey of introspection and reflection by participating in the activities that are available during their spa visit. The types of activities available depend on the type of spiritual spa you visit.

Most spas focus on Asian techniques for meditation and relaxation. At these spas, you can involve yourself in relaxing and introspective techniques such as meditation, tai chi, chi gong, yoga, etc. Instructors guide you through these techniques that lead to serenity, understanding, and acceptance. They also teach you to carry these activities into your daily life.

Many also use physical methods of raising your spiritual consciousness. For example, some spiritual spas employ shamans who perform techniques that are meant to erase the things from your past that hinder your present life. Some services are meant to balance and cleanse the body of the imprints that predispose us to negative physical and emotional conditions. Others are said to uncover the source of past wounding or trauma and retrieve lost energy. Finally, some techniques are meant to incorporate the energy of who you want to become and reveal obstacles and opportunities along the path.

Other types of spiritual spas focus more on Western religious beliefs. These spas focus their services on encouraging their visitors to connect with and grow closer to the Christian God. They encourage people to pursue whole life health, clear purpose, and an authentic connection with God. The activities available at these types of spiritual spas are similar to Eastern methods of relaxation and meditation. They generally encourage painting, hiking, and prayer as method of introspection and reflection.

Spiritual spas that focus on Western religious beliefs generally offer services on all aspects of a person's life. Many of their activities involve reading the Bible as a means of finding answers in life. The activity moderators can help people to find answers in the Bible for their specific life struggles, such as problems in marriage, friendship, parenting, employment, or grief. Others use the Bible as a source of promoting feelings of hope, love, kindness, courage, wisdom, and trust in their daily lives.

Before visiting a spiritual spa, be sure to determine what spiritual activities the spa focuses on. Persons interested in visiting a spa where they can learn Eastern methods of relaxation are not going to be satisfied with reading the Bible for a week. Spiritual healing at a spa required full devotion to the spas programs.

Tips on Starting a New Spa Business and How to Make it a Success

Going to the spa is something that even as recent as fifteen years ago was reserved for the elite and rich and famous. Now, going to the spa is still a treat but one that just about every American woman has experienced on some type of level. Because they are so popular there is more competition so it is imperative to do it right if you want to have a spa as your business. This article will touch on the many tips to make your spa a great one from picking a location, to selecting the perfect reception desk or reception desks, to having the best professionals offering treatments.

The first step to having a successful spa business is finding the right location. If you have a fabulous spa in a poor location you will go out of business. This is the most important decision of the entire process. Some good ideas for locations for spas would be near a resort, in an urban hip area or in a great hotel, near a more affluent part of the suburbs, or in an upscale fitness arena or gym. These would all be great choices to find a location for your new business.

Once you have found the best location and have negotiated a good contract and lease with a landlord then it is time to turn that existing space into a relaxing and peaceful oasis. The decor in your spa should feel peaceful from the moment the customer walks through the door. Having a nice, clean and modern place where the customers check in is very important and should be done with some care. Also, hiring the right person for the front of the spa can make all of the difference too. If you have a rude, abrasive receptionist, people will most likely turn around and leave immediately.

The layout of the spa is an important element as well. Most spas are divided into a lot of smaller rooms for the various types of treatments so the larger rooms should be nice and open and relaxing. Having a nice bathroom and locker room in addition to a tranquility room to go to in between your services makes the whole spa experience a relaxing one. A nice locker room with plush robes, lockers and private shower and changing areas complete with organic soaps and cleansers are all something that should be provided.

A tranquility room is a place where the clients go to wait for their service and to relax. Having a water sculpture creates a relaxing sound as well as a fireplace and low lighting all create a peaceful getaway. Herbal teas, water or other drinks including wine are nice things to offer to those waiting in this area.

Hiring the best massage therapists, aestheticians, nail technicians and hair stylists are what will make customers come back time and time again. The better the services offered, the better the spa will be. All of these elements should lead to a great success!

Family Friendly Vacations at The Atlantis Resort

Aquaventure is the resort's unbelievable waterscape, and one of the largest water-themed attractions in the world, with more than 20 million gallons of water over 63 acres. Set in a Mayan themed atmosphere, Aquaventure is a bright and vibrant element of Atlantis with lush landscaping, exhilarating water rides and incredible animal interactions. The onsite water park includes a mile-long river and numerous exciting water slides and rides. This sensational water park and stunning landscape certainly is one of the main ingredients of the resort, and part of what makes a vacation to Atlantis so unique and exciting, however numerous attractions and activities can be found both inside and outside of the water, making Atlantis a fantastic choice for families with children of all ages.

Water Adventures

Power Tower offers guests four adrenaline-inducing water slides using master blaster technology, including The Abyss, a staggering 50 foot near vertical drop, followed by a thrilling 14 second, 200 foot long body slide through waterfalls and in and out of the Tower's darkness! Meanwhile The Drop and The Falls both propel riders upwards only to drop down at high speeds through the darkness of the tower, spiraling, and providing heart pounding excitement! Just beyond the Royal Towers lies the towering six-story Mayan Temple with its five water slides.

The Leap of Faith slide offers the daring and adventurous a 60 foot, almost vertical drop from the top of the Mayan Temple, propelling riders at a tremendous speed through a clear acrylic tunnel submerged in a shark-filled lagoon. The Jungle Slide is an exhilarating high speed safari ride, and the Serpent Slide is a five-story corkscrew ride, where guests travel on a tube at high speeds through the darkness of the Temple's core. The twisting and turning ride culminates with a leisurely pass through the acrylic tunnel submerged in the shark filled lagoon. Aquaventure features unlimited hours of fun for all the family, however all guests must be at least 48 inches tall to ride the water slides.

A more relaxed, yet equally thrilling water experience at Atlantis is the incredible Dolphin Cay. An extraordinary 14-acre dolphin habitat that is one of the largest and most sophisticated of its kind in the world, Dolphin Cay offers two ways to interact with these remarkable creatures, either the shallow water interaction, or the deep water swim. If you choose the shallow water interaction, you will wade in waist-high water to watch these playful animals show off some of their favorite skills. Come nose to bottlenose with the charismatic dolphins for an unforgettable, up-close encounter as you touch, hug and even kiss your new friend! Limited to only 10 guests, this intimate interaction begins with an orientation and includes 30 minutes in the water. Wetsuits, personal lockers, beach towels, and non-alcoholic refreshments are provided, along with all-day access to Dolphin Cay's private beach. The deep water swim meanwhile, is limited to just six guests, and provides a wide-open dolphin playground for you to explore. Hand-held water scooters let you control your speed, so you can race alongside dolphins, cruise along the surface, or dive to the depths of their saltwater lagoon. Snorkels and masks are provided, and the highlight of the encounter is certainly the signature 'foot push', where a pair of dolphins, one on each foot-propel you across the lagoon for a rush unlike any you've experienced! The deep water swim encounter also includes the wetsuits, personal lockers, beach towels and non-alcoholic refreshments, plus all-day access to Dolphin Cay's private beach.

In addition to the multitude of water based activities at Atlantis including six beautiful pools, four fabulous kids pools and the lazy river ride, guests can enjoy some very unique attractions such as the marine habitat. Experience up close views of more than 50,000 marine animals from over 200 species, walk through underwater tunnels surrounded by sharks, meander through passageways and observe stingrays, moon jellies and piranhas. Soak in beautiful open-air lagoons filled with tropical sea life and observe daily feedings of some of the world's most incredible aquatic life. Located below the Lagoon Bar & Grill, outside the Coral Towers, the Predator Lagoon is a fascinating wildlife habitat under the sea, featuring predominately deeper reef fish. Sharks, barracudas, rays, sawfish and giant grouper live among vibrant schools of fish in a natural environment, complete with beautiful coral in every color imaginable. The marine habitat is the world's largest open-air marine habitat and comprises of 11 million gallons of fresh and saltwater.

Kid Stuff

The Atlantis Kids Club is for children ages 3 to 5 years in the mornings and afternoons, and for children ages 3 to 12 years in the evenings. Morning and afternoon activities may include face painting, learning to play a musical instrument, creating a personal aquarium, going on a crayola hunt or decorating cupcakes, while evening activities feature Xbox 360 and Playstation, along with movies, musical games, crafts, tech time, storytelling and more. Aqua Tots is a fun fish feeding activity for children over 3 years of age, and five children are selected daily to take part in a 20 minute feeding experience located at the Estuary Lagoon, located outside the Reef Wing of the Coral Towers.

The Discovery Kids Adventure is designed in conjunction with the Discovery Channel, and offers children ages 6 to 12 years the opportunity to discover hidden treasure, decode Atlantean hieroglyphics and uncover the legend of ancient Atlantis by learning about the artifacts in The Dig. They can also discover what life may have been like for the Atlanteans over 11,000 years ago on a guided tour. Educational and fun, the Discovery Kids Adventure is a wonderful way to entertain your children while you enjoy some quiet time by the pool or relaxing on the beach. Kids can also spend time and make new friends at Gamers Reef, a world of entertainment where kids can beat their best scores on games such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park and Top Skater, or challenge a friend to a kung-fu dual in Tekken.

At night, the coolest place to hang out is Club Rush, where no parents are allowed, and teens and pre-teens can chat, dance and watch movies while mom and dad enjoy a quiet dinner at one of the resort's 22 superb restaurants. All children's programs and activities are supervised by experienced professionals, and parents can feel confident that their little ones are in safe hands while they experience attractions such as the casino, beaches, spa or golf course.

It is important that a well deserved vacation becomes an opportunity to spend quality time together as a family, create lasting memories, and enjoy activities together that you would not normally get to experience. At Atlantis Resort, there are unlimited ways to have fun, and many magical moments waiting to be discovered. No other resort offers more in the way of recreation and attractions for the whole family in such a picturesque and tropical beach setting. Your Atlantis Resort vacation will be one that your whole family will treasure for a lifetime.

How to Plan and Design an Ayurvedic Wellness Spa

With the present-day lifestyle getting hectic and busier by the day, one thing that is getting scarce is perhaps the availability of time for oneself, one's family or for ones wellbeing. This scenario is not only scary but also dangerous as it spells disaster for a physically and mentally healthy body in you. This realization has given birth to a profitable business niche globally - The Wellness Business. Today world over wellness centers are doing thriving business. While there are no authentic figures available, conservative estimates hint at a whopping figure of $ 250 billion as the size of this market, and still counting.

Global competition in the wellness industry has given rise to a number of wellness styles and therapies to emerge. The latest fad seems to be the traditional Indian system of Ayurveda. While there are a number of well-planned Ayurvedic wellness centers in India and especially in its birthplace Kerala, what is interesting to note is that a strong demand in this therapy is generating a keen interest from luxury hospitality industry. You can today find Ayurvedic wellness centers in luxury hotels and resort spa's globally.

The science of Ayurveda is founded on the principle that the universe is composed of five elements that is air, fire, water, earth and space (ether). All these elements are represented in us by three energies called the "doshas", namely the Vata, Pitta and Kapha. When any of the energy exceeds its established proportion in the body, the balance of elements gets disturbed and, the body loses its balance. Every human being has a distinct ratio and our wellness depends on maintaining this crucial balance. The science of Ayurvedic therapy helps maintain this energy or dosha balance.

Planning an Ayurvedic wellness center is a complex task. It not only requires in-depth knowledge of the science of Ayurveda, but also of the science of Vastu for best results. The therapy is very individual centric and therefore needs very close attention. A well-planned Ayurvedic wellness center therefore has three essential sections.

Consulting

Since the therapy is extremely individual centric, it requires a firsthand knowledge of one's body through individual consulting by an expert Ayurvedic practitioner. A well-equipped room is therefore required to sit with the wellness seeker to evaluate his or her energy levels and suggest wellness remedies.

Therapy Rooms

A number of therapy rooms are provided, the number depends on the demand and results of market survey. There are different types of therapies and therefore the furnishings of rooms differ depending on the therapy offered. A typical treatment room will however have a single piece wooden tabletop called the "Adoni" to give Ayurvedic massage therapy. Each room also has its own private steam box connected to a central steam generator. The rooms also have their own attached private bath or shower rooms.

Yoga/meditation/workout room

Since Ayurvedic wellness believes in physical, mental and spiritual well-being of the body, a good Ayurvedic wellness center is also provided with an area where a wellness seeker can perform prescribed yoga exercises or practice meditation for a defined period for the therapy to give its full results.

An Ayurvedic wellness center or better called Ayurvedic spa has to take care of two more factors that are essential. Firstly, it must have qualified and trained therapists on the one hand and therapy consultants on the other. The second element is the therapy medium or various herbal and medicinal oils, powders, and aromas used for massages, baths and body packs. Some of the best Ayurvedic spas are architecturally laid in a manner that the interior seems to brush the nature. Creation of traditional ambiance assumes great importance in the overall personality of the spa.

Wellness by itself is a thriving and financially lucrative business. Ayurvedic spa business is even more lucrative as it offers "preventive" and "curative" therapies attracting both healthy people wanting to get healthier and not so healthy wanting to get-well. However, it is best to concentrate on the preventive aspect of therapies in a spa than to embrace curative aspect also. Doing so would result in the "Spa" character of the facility being diluted. For someone wanting to become part this billion-dollar business, my advice would be that he or she should take professional services of an expert consultant to ensure starting on a technologically sound and financially viable footing.

Sexy Santorini - A Vacation Destination That Gets the Pulse Racing!

What makes Santorini so sexy?

This Greek Island is full of sexy girls and boys who have left their inhibitions behind. The sultry heat, romantic sunsets and pulsating nightlife build to a crescendo of red-hot sexual energy.

This explosive eruption rivals that of the famous volcano that shaped the Island itself.

It's little wonder then that the Island gets the nickname of Sexy Santorini, and was recently proclaimed by Forbes as one of the top 10 sexiest islands in the world.

Sexy Santorini Hotspots

Fira, the capital of the Island, easily mixes cool with hot, and things really start to heat up after midnight.

Celebs like Tara Reid and Paris Hilton have danced the night away here into the wee small hours.

The Koo Club and Enigma nightclub are well known to attract the young and the beautiful, so follow your ears and listen for the sounds of disco music in the little streets of Fira, and you'll soon find your way there.

Tango is another popular hotspot in Santorini. Here you can dance inside or outside -- either way, you will generate plenty of heat.

There's a range of musical tastes in Fira. The Casablanca Soul sometimes has live funk and soul bands while Taj Mahal plays an eclectic mix of international and Greek music.

Away from Fira are the steamy resorts of Perissa and Kamari. In Kamari the liveliest hotspot is the Dom Club where you can enjoy a mix of music styles.

Perissa has a fabulous nightspot named Taboo. It boasts of its popularity in typical Greek fashion, and claims the secret to its success is "the rule of the bar is none leaves displeased."

Sexy Santorini Beaches

Hot black sand draped with beautiful bronzed beach babes is the order of the day on Santorini beaches. And don't be surprised if there are fewer tops than bottoms where swimwear is concerned.

Red Beach in Santorini is often voted one of the top ten topless beaches in the world. The beaches of Perissa and Kamari are also famous for their topless beach babes too.

Naturism, although not actively encouraged on Santorini's beaches, is tolerated in some places. Koloumbo Beach near Oia is said to be a very naturist-friendly beach. So if you want to go completely nude, try it here.

Other top Santorini beaches are Katharos, near Oia. Or in the south try Vlychada, or White Beach, which lies just beyond Red Beach at Akrotiri.

Sexy Santorini Luxury Spa Hotels

To prepare you for the rigours of beach lounging by day, and partying all night, Santorini has some top luxury hotels with fabulous spa facilities. Be prepared to have your body buffed, massaged, scrubbed and pummelled to get it ready for action.

Try the algae and volcanic mud wraps at the Notos Spa Hotel at Vlychada beach.

The Santorini Princess Luxury Spa Hotel Resort in Imerovigli has essential oil treatments, body waxing and spa therapies, as well as special wellness packages for brides and grooms.

Can't stretch to the pricey luxury spa treatments? Then try the free ones!

At the extinct volcano of Palea Kameni there's totally natural and free volcanic mud baths and hot springs. Boat excursions will take you from Fira Port to see the active volcano of Nea Kameni which stops off at Palea Kameni for the chance of some free, natural and safe indulgence.

Sexy Santorini Singles

If you are single then don't think that Santorini is not for you. Although known as a couple's destination and the wedding and Honeymoon Island, for singles, Santorini is a great place to find that special sexy someone you've been searching for.

Sexy Santorini Gay Scene

Santorini still extends a warm gay friendly welcome to gay and lesbian couples.

Although there are no gay bars as such on Santorini, all are gay friendly, in particular the fabulous Tropical at Fira, which boasts a fantastic sea view and brilliant ambiance.

All the Greek Islands are welcoming to the gay scene, particularly Mykonos for gay men, and Lesvos for lesbian women.

Santorini is no exception.

Many gay and lesbian couples feel very welcome and comfortable in this, the ultimate sexy, romantic holiday destination. Many choose Santorini to hold their commitment ceremonies, or to enjoy their Santorini celebration and honeymoon, after marrying in their home country.

More refined, less frantic, and far less predictable than the Gay Mecca of Mykonos, Santorini can be a super place for a holiday vacation regardless of your sexuality.

So, if you want a sexy vacation, think about Sexy Santorini -- the ultimate romantic Greek Island.

Choosing The Best Locations in Phuket

Phuket, the island destination in Thailand drawing the most tourists, offer a plethora of beaches, coves and bays. Deciding where on the island to book your hotel accommodation is an important step to a memorable holiday. Some like it secluded, peaceful and tranquil, some like the buzz of a busy holiday atmosphere and some like it somewhere in-between.

In this article we will give an abbreviated overview of the best and most popular Phuket beach destinations, what you can expect from the location and point you in the direction of some great hotels in each area.

Patong is without a doubt the centre of all activity in Phuket. It is alive with people, a congregation of restaurants, bars, pubs, shopping opportunity, water sports abound and even a large shopping mall, making it popular with those who likes an electric holiday atmosphere. A vibrant nightlife with an assortment of clubs and discotheques sees that the nocturnally inclined also have a blast of a time.

Patong is home to a large selection of hotels and sees some fine luxury accommodation options to more budget savvy and everything in-between.

If you would like to be close to all the action but not directly in it and out of earshot of any noise, try the 4 star Amari Coral Beach Resort, located in the southern most corner of Patong on its own private beach. La Flora Resort is another 5 star resident of Patong right in the centre of the beach. This stylish establishment offer accommodation for anything from single travelers to two bedroom villas for family vacationers. The brand new very hip and funky 4 star B-Lay Tong resort also needs to be mentioned. This Phuket resort is located to the upmarket northern end of Patong.

Pure white sand that glitters, Karon is the 2nd biggest of the primary Phuket tourist beaches. It is located just south, a 5 minute tuk tuk ride, from the glittering lights of Patong. Long and wide, it is debatable if Karon is not maybe the most sought after of all Phuket beaches. Many hotels line the road that runs parallel to the beach, but very little if any development has taken place on the beach. To the northern end of this beach several restaurants, bars and other commercial activity is centered. Probably the most upscale Phuket beach area, Karon is home to highly recommended hotel names the 5 star Movenpick Resort & Spa, Centara Karon Resort, Centara Villas Phuket and the Hilton Phuket Arcadia. Just recently the brand new 5 star Centara Grand Beach Resort opened its doors to the northern end of Karon. This Phuket hotel is in fact located directly on the beach and every room offers sea views.

Kata Beach is the smallest of the primary tourist beaches. White sands, crystal clear waters and Phuket hotels and resorts right on the beach. If you do not wish to have a road between your hotel and the beach, Kata is probably where you will find your choice of Phuket accommodation. All structures bordering Kata is low rise so views are unobstructed and set to stay this. A beautiful beach and area in general, Kata is a great choice, perfect for swimming and plays hosts to names like the luxury Mom Tri's Boathouse boutique hotel, Centara Kata Resort and the popular 4 star Andaman Cannacia Resort & Spa. All of which is recommended places of stay.

Surin Beach is home to several high-end 5 star hotels & resorts and is aptly referred to as millionaire's row. The beach is beautiful and the sand a fine white powder. These luxury establishments have also given rise to some top notch restaurants and wine bars. Suggest for discerning travelers, Surin will be a good choice. Names like The Surin Hotel (Formerly The Chedi Phuket Hotel) and Manathai Resort has made Surin their home.

Kamala Beach is located just north of lively Patong with its glittering lights and feverish nightlife. Kamala calls to those who like it quieter while still within easy reach of Patong. The southern end of the beach gets busier during high and peak season. Here, a range of restaurants and bars can also be found. However, simply head for the northern end all year round to find peace and quiet. Kamala is of course also home to one of the biggest Phuket attractions, The Phuket FantaSea. Kamala is home to, amongst others, the luxury Cape Sienna Hotel & Villas.

Bang Tao is an enormous 8 kilometer stretch of beach. The southern end of this beach offers a range of some nice mid range hotels while the north is occupied by the ultr luxury Laguna hotel complex. Just a little inland is a small market and the village of Cherng Talay. The predominantly Muslim community makes a living from fishing as they have been for generations. In Bang Tao you will spend most of your time on the beach, utilizing resorts facilities and activities or rent a jeep to check out neighbouring beaches. Not busy, not quiet and very little if any night life.

Mai Khao Beach is at almost 10 kilometers, the longest beach in Phuket. Situated at the northern tip of Phuket, this area has seen limited development and construction. If you don't like to share a beach with too many other tourists, Mai Khao is your place. This is an area to get away from it all and spend your time in quiet and tranquil seclusion, though the nearby location of the airport does bring some air traffic noise every now and then. Sala Phuket Resort and Spa and Anantara Phuket Resort and Spa are two quality resorts in Mai Khao that deserves a closer look. Be careful when swimming here May to October with strong under currents and a steep slope into the ocean making things hazardous.

Just south of Mai Khao is Nai Yang beach, home to the fabulous Indigo Pearl Resort. Once again, commercial development is limited. The setting is lovely and tranquil and like Mai Khao, it is removed from any major activity and Patong is an approximate 45 minute drive away. A good choice to spend a few days in blissful seclusion, recuperate and then head for a more active environment.

Well then, this should help you make a more informed decision before booking Phuket hotels.
