DIOR SPA HÔTEL DU CAP-EDEN-ROC

Antibes, France 

Hidden within the immaculate grounds of Hôtel Du Cap-EdenRoc, the Dior Spa is inspired by the rocks that the hotel sits upon and its azure Mediterranean surrounds. Loved by A-listers, the tranquil designer spa's interiors are swathed in Dior fabrics and it offers face and body rituals designed for deep relaxation. Choose from decadent treatments such as the Escale à Eden-Roc ritual with semi-precious stones, or a multi-sensory Constellations body massage in one of four treatment suites including the garden-set Gazebo. For a deep sense of calm and all-over radiance, book in for the Roc Affusion Suite, an onyx-covered room where you can relax under choreographed water jets. Make sure you make time for the spa's steam and sauna to walk away feeling truly rejuvenated.

AURA SPA BAWAH RESERVE

Anambas, Indonesia

Bliss, balance and Balinese beaches. This tranquil retreat cocoons the east side of Bawah Island in the remote Anambas Archipelago, while utilising the lush natural surroundings and traditional Asian techniques to deliver a holistic approach to wellness. With a focus on reconnecting to the environment, Aura Spa offers bespoke body massages, glow-restoring facials, nourishing wraps and decadent exfoliating treatments. With an open-aired fitness studio boasting sweeping views of the turquoise lagoon also at the resort, this sanctuary takes self-care to new levels.
