Versailles, France
A private car service from Paris can bring you and your partner to Versailles in just under an hour. This royal city is famed for its opulent palace, which is a must-visit architectural wonder. Beyond exploring the spectacular grounds and interiors, take time to nourish your own restful state of calm by staying at Waldorf Astoria Versailles-Trianon Palace. The elegant hotel sits adjacent to the famed Palace of Versailles. Once you’ve checked into the stunning lobby and are settled in your spacious room, step into the sleek Spa Guerlain. Here, you’ll find 14 treatment suites, saunas and steam rooms. For the royal experience, opt for the full “Cocoon Impériale” for two. This spa service includes an Orchidée Impériale Black Treatment (Guerlain’s signature anti-aging treatment), an imperial relaxing massage, body polish, a two-hour intensive hand and foot treatment, and a spa lunch for each person.
Nusa Dua Beach, Bali
Where do you go if you’re seeking a rejuvenating couple’s retreat, tropical beaches, and ancient temples? Bali. Conrad Bali overlooks the breathtaking Nusa Dua Beach with its white sand and a protected bay of sea green waters. The Indonesian word for “soul” inspired Jiwa Spa, tucked within the resort’s tranquil gardens. When you book a treatment, you’ll also have access to the steam and sauna rooms as part of your day of self-healing. For a traditional experience, reserve a Balinese hot stone massage in advance. From start to finish, the treatment captures an approach to wellness that’s authentic to Indonesia. If you can’t leave little ones at home with a babysitter, sign them up for their own treatments, including a chocolate mud bath. To experience a different side of Bali, visit the sacred Ubud Monkey Forest, a holy site and sanctuary with three temples and more than 1,000 macaques. Then head to lunch at Ayam Betutu Pak Sanur for an authentic Balinese lunch.
Punta de Mita, Mexico
A 45-minute drive from Puerto Vallarta brings you to Punta Mita, a peninsula within the Riviera Nayarit that lacks the crowds of other destinations. Conrad Punta de Mita is a refined, five-star retreat perched along the ocean. Tap into your inner explorer and embrace local Huichol culture during your visit to Conrad Spa. Try the Temazcal therapy, a ceremony that uses heat, herbal steams, chanting, and meditation, in a traditional domed stone structure. If you would rather experience a body treatment after your time in the sun, consider the two-hour yaca-hibiscus antioxidant body treatment, which helps to rejuvenate your skin. After your treatments, make your way to Arbol for a dinner for two. You can compare notes on your choices of eight margaritas on the menu to pair with fish ceviche, fresh guacamole, and San Blas “al ajillo” shrimp. To match your inner exploration with an external adventure, take an extra day and hire a private charter to go to the Marietas Islands National Park. This group of uninhabited islands has been named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Ask to visit “hidden beach,” also known as “Playa del Amor” (the beach of love), which sits within a remote cavern.
Anguilla, West Indies
Part of the British West Indies, Anguilla is a destination for couples who want to enjoy the best of the Caribbean. Compared to its neighbors, it has maintained its local flavor, with fewer crowds and stunning beaches. There’s no better place to stay on the island than Zemi Beach House, LXR Hotels & Resorts, a boutique hotel perched on six acres along the world-renowned Shoal Bay. Spend all day by the sea, soak in the turquoise waters and break for a lobster salad lunch under the seaside palms at Shoal Bay Zemi Beach Club. Here, you can keep your toes in the beach’s luminous white sands until you’re ready to head to Zemi Thai House Spa for the afternoon. Located within a 300-year-old Thai house moved from Chiang Mai, the serene setting is a must-visit during any romantic trip to the island. All of the treatments are inspired by the rituals of the island’s Indigenous people, the Taíno. Plan to spend a few hours here, visiting the hot sauna hammam before having a full-body Rhassoul clay mask and a detoxifying massage.
