Evason Ma’In Hot Springs & Six Senses Spa, Ma’in, Jordan

Where else can travelers settle into a traditional Berber tented barbecue or opt for a cliff-top dinner in the Al Wadi desert? Only at this 97-room retreat, with a Six Senses spa and a waterfall-fed thermal pool. But the wellness focus doesn’t stop there: ancient 140-degree springs are found on site, and the location (a valley an hour southwest of Amman) is convenient for health-focused day trips—the Dead Sea, with its mineral-rich mud, is just 30 minutes away by car. Doubles from $318, including breakfast.
