1. The Spa at Regent Palms
Grace Bay, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos
regenthotels.com

Celebs Including Usher have visited this island retreat that blends ancient Eastern practices with indigenous Caribbean ingredients. Before starting your treatments, enjoy the spa’s hot sauna and steam rooms, then lounge with a cup of green tea and a plate of fresh fruit. Services are administered in private cabanas that overlook a 150-foot water garden. Though the spa boasts a number of unique treatments, such as the Mother of Pearl Body Exfoliation, the detoxifying Zareeba treatment definitely takes the cake. In a wooden room just large enough for you to sit in, you’ll find a pot of freshly brewed therapeutic herbs along with a wand to blend them—this allows you to control the intensity of the steam. Now inhale. You’ll do this for about 20 minutes; a 50-minute cooling body wrap and lymphatic drainage massage will follow. —Marielle Bobo

Those lucky enough to make their way to the property (via a man-made tunnel) soon learn that the Auriga Spa is the true star of the show. Inspired by the design of a shell, each of the eight-treatment “pods” floats over the spa’s mediation pool. Upon your arrival, you’ll receive an ancient cleansing footbath with thyme, rosemary and lime. Be sure to try the two-hour New Moon treatment, which includes a full-body eucalyptus salt scrub followed by a seaweed wrap. Let the scents of the essential oils soothe you while the gentle sounds of the ocean waves envelop you with a sense of calm.  Your treatment will conclude with a tension-melting body massage and glowing facial cleansing.—Janell Hickman
