LEVEL 1
Relaxation is right under your nose at
Milton, N.Y.’s
Bu ermilk Falls Inn and
Spa
, whose fields and gardens provide
the sweetly fragrant herbs for its
lavender-honey massage (pictured) and
other limited-edition body treatments.
Though the lineup changes with each
harvest, you’re bound to discover, er,
perennial favorites. (60 min., $130)
LEVEL 2
Beginning as it does with a bath of
ginger, mandarin and frankincense, the
Hu-Tieh Quan body treatment at the
Mandarin Oriental Paris
is so heady
with exotic spices you might not even
notice the de scalp and full-body mas-
sage work during this nearly three-hour
session. But trust us, your muscles will.
(170 min., $639)
LEVEL 3
At the
Spa at MohonkMountain House
in New Paltz, N.Y., the Mohonk Red
Massage blends Swedish, Hawaiian and
Thai bodywork. Yet its most memo-
rable—and pungent—touch is locally
inspired: a power nap amid warm towels
infused with pure “Mohonk Red” witch
hazel, which grows on the property.
(80 min., $185)
