Post-Holiday Spa Escapes Start the New Year Off Right

With world-class wellness experiences available at luxurious locales the globe over, retreating to a spa is the perfect antidote to a holiday season filled with pounds of pound cake and tons of togetherness. Try an urban-chic Sodashi treatment offered through the 51 Spa Experience at London’s 51 Buckingham Gate.

For a more pastoral experience, there’s the Tuscan Country Escape at Alain Ducasse’s L’Andana estate, with its intimate ESPA.

Our Swiss hotels abound with opportunities for pampering. After a day on the spectacular Alpine slopes of Zermatt, unwind with an Antistress Break at the Mont Cervin Palace’s luxurious Daniela Steiner Spa. Steal away to the world-renowned ESPA at the Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa in Interlaken or the magnificent Palace Luzern. Or, sink into the saltwater grotto and Thalasso therapies of St. Moritz’ historic Kulm Hotel.


The Alpenhof Murnau pairs candlelight dining with an exotic Lomi-Lomi-Nui massage at its Mooseberg Therme spa in the Bavarian countryside.

And across the Atlantic, the exclusive Ocean Reef Club in lovely Key Largo beckons with an elixir and massage combination that will leave you utterly refreshed, Body & Soul. No matter how and where you decide to spa, your seasonal stress will seem like a distant—but fond—memory.
