Every year, many of us make the resolution to get healthy and stay healthy. And with these luxurious health retreats, there's no reason to put off shedding that old skin, both literally and metaphorically, in order to unveil the new "you." Our list of Top 10 Health Resorts for 2009 boasts properties that go beyond the usual "resort with a spa." Rather, they offer programs that are designed to cultivate a healthy lifestyle in unique and permanent ways: each spa features regimens that fall under the heading of "wellness" and focus on overall health and longevity—all the while keeping, of course, with the latest in style, luxury and ultimate comfort.
