Spa Hotels
ANGUILLA
Malliouhana Hotel & Spa
When it opened in 1984, this visionary 55-room resort with its 15,000-square-foot spa helped put the beach-blessed island of Anguilla on stylish travelers' maps. Today, it continues to delight with such offerings as a spa staff of 20; indoor and outdoor treatment rooms; and spectacular suites where couples can spend hours getting scrubbed, wrapped, and soaked in blissful peace.
ST. BART'S
Hôtel Guanahani & Spa
In a tropical garden above Grand Cul de Sac Bay, the Clarins Spa at the 75-room Hôtel Guanahani focuses on Parisian-style pampering: French manicures, hydrating facials, and Leonor Greyl hair treatments. The resort's new Wellness Suite comes with an ocean-view terrace and after-hours access to the adjacent pool.
TURKS AND CAICOS
Parrot Cay
Owner Christina Ong personally vets each therapist at this private-island resort's Shambhala spa, which recently doubled in size. East-meets-West treatments and weeklong yoga retreats led by such notables as Rodney Yee are big draws. Those looking to keep the Zen going can grab a seat at Shambhala's restaurant, which serves healthy dishes like steamed fish with shiitake mushrooms and ginger broth.
U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS
Caneel Bay, A Rose-wood Resort
Director Jan Kinder and her limber staff at the Self Centre at Caneel Bay, on St. John, playfully guide frazzled guests through yoga and stress-management techniques in an eco-friendly aerie. This lean-and-green bower has blissful views of Honeymoon Bay, one of seven white-sand beaches at the low-impact, 166-room retreat within the national park.
