Miami Beauty – Canyon Ranch Spa

Miami Beach is one of my favorite “local” (aka No passport required) destination spots. The nightlife and cuisine are unbeatable, which generally means I have to spend a few days recovering when I get home. But this trip – I thought I’d squeeze in some necessary detoxification before I boarded my return flight.

After a short cab ride from the hustle and bustle of South Beach I was ready to get my Om on at the Canyon Ranch Hotel & Spa. At first I was skeptical – most health spas are more “granola” than glamorous, but upon entering the grand lobby I knew this was going to be a unique retreat.

After debating whether to climb the indoor rock wall, join a beachfront yoga class or relax poolside with a protein-enriched fruit smoothie, I decided to head to the spa for a session at the Aquavana® Thermal Suite instead. Best. Decision. Ever.

Take your time experiencing every Aqua-therapy treatment. My favorites were the rain forest showers, cooling igloos, thermal cabins and soaking hot tubs. I left feeling completely rejuvenated. And, the best part – it was all free with my night’s stay!
