Healing Waters of Iceland
Thousands travel to Iceland's Blue Lagoon each year to bathe in its geothermal seawater and indulge in relaxing treatments at the spa.

Geothermal seawater, which originates 2,000 meters beneath the surface and makes its way up through porous lava, is said to be especially beneficial for the skin. Visitors bathe in the lagoon which holds six million liters of water.

Spa Vacation in Tuscany
Combine a weekend of mind-body relaxation with visiting historic sites at Terme di Saturnia on the coast of Tuscany, Italy.

The spa has been a wellness destination since the Etruscan era and was very popular during the times of the Roman Empire. Today, the resort has four outdoor thermal pools, a full-service European spa, art gallery and even a nine-hole golf course.
