If you thought you were spoiling yourself with your monthly massage sessions, think again. Hotels around the world are taking pampering to an extreme new level of luxury with ridiculously indulgent spa treatments so over the top, they're practically (and in some cases literally) gilded. We rounded up the most lavish, luxury-drenched spa treatments from five-star hotels around the globe - because it's never too early to start vacation planning.
With the 5-to-1 guest to staff ratio at this Mediterranean-inspired, 200-acre wellness resort outside of San Diego, guests get to feel ultra-VIP. At their truly pampering spa, Cal-A-Vie uses freshly made, organic skincare products created from ingredients harvested on its very own on-site vineyard. Grapes are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and compounds like resveratrol that can help reverse the signs of aging and strengthen collagen to improve the firmness of skin. For their signature Vinotherapie Grape Skin Wrap, oceanic clay enriched with Cabernet grape extract is used to coddle the skin, followed by a rub down with grapeseed-infused body lotion on the outdoor deck.
Signature Vinotherapie Grape Skin Wrap, $275 for 90 minutes, Cal-A-Vie Health Spa, Vista, California.
