Spa Getaways Anyone?

Living a fabulous life is hard work! Keeping up with family, a career and social obligations can be very draining. Every now and then this HiYela little lady needs to escape from it all. One of my favorite ways to get away from it all is to go to a resort spa.  For those whose budgets go beyond 'Calgon Take Me Away' bubble baths, spa pampering is an experience that both men and women should treat themselves to.

Here are a few spas worth trying:

InterContininental Montelucia Resort & Spa – Scottsdale, Arizona www.joyaspa.com :

A magical and transformative atmosphere that evokes feelings of mystery, depth, and intrigue, Joya Spa aspires to fulfill your deepest wishes and profoundly and positively enhance your life. A spacious environment reminiscent of Morocco and Andalusia, the inviting lounges, opulent balcony suites, and warm walkways filled with intricate light shadows entice you to visit every corner of Joya Spa. Whether experiencing a meditative moment in the Hammam, lounging on the terrace gazing at the mountain, or inspired by exotic music with a cool drink in hand, you’ll feel on every level … that anything is possible.
