Top 10 Value Spas 2007

Spa $avings

To many people, a spa visit is still considered a luxury. We have no qualms about shelling out hundreds of dollars for the latest pair of Tom Ford sunglasses or lunch at the newest hot spot, but a massage? That’s something we need to earn. Not even to mention that there’s a whole segment of society who still regards spa-ing as somewhat of an elitist activity reserved for folks with large bank accounts or celebs getting ready for a red-carpet close-up. If you’re like us, you work hard for your perks, you want to live well but you also want your money to go a long way. Here are ten spa properties around the world that offer incredible value. So you won't feel like you're splurging—instead, you're saving!

VALUE SPA TIP! "Plan to arrive extra early for full use of the spa facilities. If you are coming in for a facial, the steam room is a great place to start as it helps to open up your pores and also promotes a relaxing mental state before the start of the service. Whatever service or whatever spa you are planning to attend, there is nothing more stressful for spa guests than arriving late!" Jennifer Lynn, Director of Spa & Salon Services, Qua Baths & Spa, Caesars Palace Las Vegas
