Destination spa-goers are fitter, happier, healthier, more alert and more agile, have greater cardiovascular health and understand themselves better than non spa-goers and regular vacationers. These are just a few of the findings of a comprehensive study at Cornell University. Destination spas address the whole being by offering comprehensive life enhancement programs that encompass hiking, yoga, massage, acupuncture, weight, stress management and smoking cessation approaches, visualization, hypnosis, writing workshops and other healing and energizing modalities. From the Sonoran Desert and Sedona's red rock country to the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania and the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, the following ten properties have consistently won awards, and our own experts agree: these are truly the ten best destination spas in the country. |
