Spa Resorts in the Caribbean and MexicoSpa resorts in the Caribbean are a great way to combine a beach vacation with a Caribbean spa vacation. Listen to the waves and feel the warmth of the sun as you enjoy a relaxing massage on the beach! Spend your day snorkeling or scuba diving, then indulge in a body treatment - maybe a mask to soothe that sunburn! Here are some of the best spa resorts in the Caribbean:
• Cotton House - "Discreet" is the word here; located on the remote island of Mustique, St. Vincent, in the British West Indies, Cotton House offers accommodations that range from small, private cottages to a 2-bedroom residence (with its own butler!). Hotel rooms have individual plunge pools - you'll feel like you're in a world of your own! The relatively small spa specializes in body treatments, using local muds and seaweed for exfoliating treatments. Watersports, tennis, and horseback riding fill your days; spa cuisine is local Caribbean fare.
• Aveda Concept Spa at Strawberry Hill - Located on an old plantation just outside of Kingston, Jamaica, Strawberry Hill features twelve 19th-century cottages with accommodations ranging from studios to 2-bedroom villas. The resort is low-key and relaxed, but luxurious; Jamaican cuisine and fresh juices in your suite make you feel at home. The Living Spa offers customized Ayurvedic treatments, hydrotherapy massages, and yoga on the deck.
• One & Only Ocean Club Resort and Spa - Once a private estate, the Ocean Club on Paradise Island, the Bahamas, offers comfortable rooms with balconies overlooking the ocean or the lush gardens, tennis, biking, and long stretches of untouched white sandy beach. The Spa at the Ocean Club has 8 suites, which can accommodate couples, and specializes in cleansing skin treatments. The Caribbean coffee scrub or ginger and lime salt glow are favorites (with a local "flavor"); complementary yoga classes take place on the deck. The resort also has programs to keep kids and teens occupied while Mom and Dad are pampered in the spa. • Sandy Lane Hotel and Spa - This 5-star luxury spa resort in the Caribbean island of Barbados has rooms and suites with marble floors, plantation-style furniture, and spacious verandas. Treatment suites at the spa have private gardens or hydrotherapy pools. Treatments combine Caribbean, Asian, and European therapies, with facials, body treatments, and wraps available. Their also have programs specifically designed for golfers, with both pre- and post-game treatments. • Rancho La Puerta Spa - Just an hour from San Diego in Baja California, Mexico, you'll stay in your own private "casita" on the spacious grounds of Rancho La Puerta. This Mexican spa resort is fitness-oriented, with a wide range of activities, from early-morning hikes to guided meditation while walking the labyrinth.
