Book Description

June 15, 2006
Ultimate Spa is the definitive guide to the best spas in Asia. Highlighting spas in India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Thailand, Bali, Malaysia, Taiwan and the Philippines, this book is both a showcase of the region's best spas and a comprehensive guide to their offerings. The first half of the book introduces the top spas in the region, giving useful tips regarding the facilities and different types of treatments to be experienced. The second half of the book focuses on the treatments themselves: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and the beauty and health secrets of Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Endorsed by many well-regarded therapists, doctors, and spokespeople in the spa and wellness industry, this book contains many remedies, treatments, and recipes, and is a must-have for spa aficionados worldwide. Combined with this are yoga, Reiki, meditation and secret recipes for longevity--all complemented by over 600 stunning photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book!, December 25, 2007
This review is from: Ultimate Spa: Asia's Best Spas and Spa Treatments (Hardcover)
This book was given to me as a gift and I love it! The pictures of the different spas are beautiful and inspiring. The pictures are very tasteful.
The second half of the book has recipes for spa treatments as well as pics and descriptions of quite a variety of spa services. Great gift item for anyone who loves spa!

This review is from: Ultimate Spa: Asia's Best Spas and Spa Treatments (Hardcover)
I saw this book at an import store (for a lot more money) and was captivated with it's beautiful photography. I love the exotic locations and the people. Absolutely lovely to look at, just viewing the photos puts me in a good, relaxing mood. I only wish I could go visit those places.
