Real Spa at the Sheraton Colonia Golf & Spa Resort, Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, starwoodhotels.com/sheraton.
Nestled in the verdant countryside, you’ll find the Real Spa at the Sheraton Colonia Golf & Spa Resort. Its modern architecture has a clean aesthetic, yet the spa feels romantic with bleached wood, warm stone tile, an indoor/ outdoor heated pool and lots of candles. I unwind with the detoxifying Uruguayan Wine Treatment, a hydrotherapy and massage indulgence that uses tannins and purifying acids from Colonia’s world-renowned wines. The Thai Vital is next. Created by a South American reiki specialist, it is one part foot bath, one part exfoliation and one part massage. Local amatite stone purifies the skin and balances chakras, and a heady dose of aromatherapeutic oils soothes muscles.
In your own backyard:
ÇaVa Bien Hair Studio and Day Spa, 2049 42nd Ave. SW, Calgary, 403-28009, cavabien.ca. The Detoxifying / Remineralizing Body Wrap ($119) revitalizes the muscles and replenishes dry skin with a combination of exfoliation, mud and massage. —Adriana Ermter
