5 Reasons to go to a Spa Hotel Holiday

Five reasons to go to a spa
Given how amazing a spa vacation is, it's unsurprising so many people are looking for a reason to go on a spa vacation. You can do so much, whether it's getting off to a healthy eating and exercise plan on the right foot, reconnecting with friends and family, or just getting away from everything for some sun worship and pampering. Here are some good reasons to go to a spa hotel or resort spa.

1. Detox.

Our environment has all kinds of harmful toxins -- physical and mental. A few select spas specialize in detox. Some of the options include juice fasting and colonics at We Care or Ayurvedic panchakarma at Elemental Embrace or The Raj. Yoga classes and treatments like lymphatic drainage also help with detox.

2. Take A Hike.

Great hiking programs are the backbone of many destination spas, including Red Mountain Spa and Green Valley Spa in Utah. They both roam over gorgeous federal lands, with different groups aimed at different fitness levels. But think about the temperatures and time of year when you book. Long hikes and low-season rates don't necessarily go together.

3. Get Healthy!

Destination spas are the best choice if you're looking to make a major some healthy changes and need some support. This small group of all-inclusive "health spas" offer good nutrition and exercise balanced with relaxing spa treatment. They range from small rustic spas to the legendary resorts in Europe, with their unparalleled programming and medical staff. Destination spas are great for solo travelers.

4. Eat Well.

The food is so good at some destination spas that you might pack on pounds if you're not careful. Some spas are known for their excellent spa cuisine and cooking classes. Most resort spas also have fine dining with spa cuisine options -- though I've been told no one ever orders them.

5. Do Yoga.

You can find yoga classes at just about every destination spa (and many resort spas). But some do it better than others. Rancho La Puerta has one of the best yoga programs, with top teachers, a huge yoga studio, and classes aimed at different levels of expertise. Kripalu is also famous for its yoga and reasonable prices due to campus-style and vegetarian food.
