AIRE ANCIENT BATHS
NEW YORK
Aire Ancient Baths offer an immersive thermal bathing experience for those who wish to combine an exotic location with the benefits of hydrotherapy and soothing massages. Conceived in Seville, the Aire company’s spas are of the ancient Roman variety, specializing in “thermally variant bathing,” a process of dunking oneself into the water of various temperatures that is not as unpleasant as it sounds.
Aire’s TriBeCa branch is rather temple-esque and offers the ultimate in relaxation and comfort after a long day.

EVIAN SPA
TOKYO
Palace Hotel Tokyo’s Evian Spa is the first Evian brand spa in Japan. The partnership with the French company is subtle: coolers in the changing room are, of course, stocked with the water, and the spa’s six treatment rooms are named after peaks in the French Alps. The interiors are so immaculate, sparse and minimalist that they seem almost sterile –a welcome respite in such a congested city as Tokyo. The treatments are inspired by nature, as well as the purifying journey which Evian natural mineral water takes through the mountains.
SPA AT VELASSARU
MALDIVES
Dubbed one of the best spas in the world, the spa at Velassaru in the exotic Maldives is dedicated to ensuring guests are as relaxed as possible. Its 10 treatment rooms and yoga pavilion are set on stilts over the turquoise water, as is the small pool, a popular spot with travelers seeking to rest, relax and rewind after a long day. Try the Oceanic Delight treatment (2 blissful hours and 30 minutes long) to detoxify and revitalize both body and soul.
