Our list of the 14 most transformational wellness destinations around the world.
A pampering playlist of 14 transformational wellness destinations that can't be missed in 2014.
BEAUTY, HEALTH, AND WELLNESS
The year ahead promises to be filled with pleasures both humble (beginning the last season of Mad Men, hunting for the next cronut) and extravagant (flying to Paris for the reopening of the Musée Picasso or to Brazil for the World Cup). After all that stimulation you'll need to recalibrate, so we've curated our version of a playlist: mind-blowing spa experiences that fulfill New Year's goals and put a premium on relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether you aim to lose five pounds, get back five years, commune with nature, or just unwind, kick off 2014 on the right note and plan for a respite at one of these must-visit escapes.
14. THE IMPRESSIONIST ESTATE
Mirbeau Inn & Spa, Plymouth, Massachusetts, mirbeau.com
THE GOAL: Indulge your inner Francophile. HOUSE SPECIALTY: The Mirbeau Inn & Spa, which opens this spring at the Pinehills, near Cape Cod, is styled like a French country manor. Impressionism is the design inspiration, but we doubt Monet imagined heated foot pools and an Aqua Terrace.
