This volume features some of the most luxurious resorts from around the world to show how architects, designers, "wellness providers" and hotel owners have given new life to the concept of the spa holiday. Combining state-of-the-art technology with ancient healing methods and innovative settings, these spas in Europe, Asia and the United States demonstrate the importance of setting and cultural accents in providing just the right kind of personalized service.
