8 Great Spas to Visit with Someone Special
1.
At Solstice Spa in Leavenworth, WA, couples can take a steam together, then relax with a foot soak while drinking sparkling cider and eating chocolates by the fire in a specially appointed suite before having an hour-long, side-by-side massage.
2.
Miraj Hammam Spa in Vancouver, B.C., is a 'hammam' (traditional Turkish spa) and offers a unique twist on the usual spa experience. Wearing nothing but a nervous grin, couples lay on marble slabs, rubbed down with black basalt (volcanic rock), massaged then treated to Middle Eastern tea and sweet cakes in a harem-style lounge.
3.
The Millcroft Inn and Spa in Caledon, ON, offers a number of couples' packages centered around the traditional Japanese "Ofuro" bath ritual which includes an exfoliating body polish and soaking phase in a specially designed tub that facilitates deep relaxation before going onto a massage.
4.
Aqua Terra Spa in Nanoose Bay, B.C., offers a couple's package that consists of chocolate massages and body scrubs, followed by chocolate milk bath for two with chocolate martinis and truffles in a solid granite soaker tub.
5.
Willow Stream Spa, located in the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, AB, has a spectacular 400 sq-ft couple's suite that features a Japanese soaker tub for two. One very popular package provides couples with instruction and then leaves them alone to play with a selection of muds, masques and baths.
6.
The Village Spa in Long Island, NY, has a long list of couples' packages, including the Champagne Package which includes a lobster dinner for two, champagne and three-tier desserts alongside the treatments.
7.
The Spa at The Mandarin Oriental in New York, is a five-star spa offering exquisite treatments and the couple's suite has a fireplace and antique Chinese bed for, ahem, relaxing after whatever treatments you choose to enjoy.
8.
Bellagio Spa, Las Vegas, NV, offers couples the chance to learn how to float their partner in a warm Watsu pool (a salt-water pool heated to the exact temperature of your body) so they can enjoy a tandem soak after the hour-long massage and before moving onto a 50-minute facial.
