Sanctuary Resort Spa at the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa
For a mix of striking desert
scenery and invigorating spa treatments, head to the Sanctuary
Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, says Jeanenne Tornatore, senior editor at Orbitz.com. A top-ranked hotel in
the U.S., Sanctuary is currently offering a special Romance in Paradise package
that boasts a 28 percent savings and includes a stay in your choice of mountain and spa suites, a romantic dinner and decadent amenities,
like a bottle of Champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and a rose-strewn
turndown service, she explains. At the Sanctuary Resort Spa, you and your sweetie can
imbibe in Asian-influenced treatments, such as Thai and Zen Shiatsu massages or
body treatments like a divinity detox wrap. Best of all, getting to Scottsdale is
kind to your wallet, too, with bundled flight and hotel packages currently hovering
around $600, Tornatore adds.
Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf Astoria New York
Gabe Saglie, senior editor at Travelzoo, points
to the lavish 14,000-square-foot Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf
Astoria New York as a top spa retreat for complete pampering with your
significant other. Currently, Travelzoo is offering a promotion (available
through April 14, 2016) for a spa day at $169, a 36 percent reduction from the regular price. Apart from a 50-minute massage or facial with the option of
one enhancement, such as a hot stone therapy or a facial mask, the package also
includes two glasses of wine and the option of interconnecting rooms to cater
to couples.
The Spa at Thompson Miami Beach
Travelzoo is currently offering a rooftop

The Spa at Wentworth Mansion
"Charleston has long
been considered one of America's most romantic cities, and couples can do it
all, combining fine dining, shopping, historical attractions and time to relax at
a spa that speaks to them," Tornatore says. She points to the historic Wentworth
Mansion in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, as a top retreat, thanks to its "couples treatments under 14-foot vaulted ceilings" and "exposed beams for the
ultimate rustic escape." An hourlong couples massage, complimentary Champagne
and a candlelit turndown service, among other romance-kindling amenities and a
luxurious stay in the Mansion Room, are included in the Wentworth Spa Experience package,
which is priced at $685 a night. Alternatively, guests can book individual spa
treatments, such as a customized 60-minute massage starting at $115 or a
Swedish-style 60-minute hot stone therapy massage starting at $135. Standard
nightly hotel rates start at around $500.
The Spa at Cranwell Resort, Spa and Golf Club
Tucked away in the
Berkshires (or Berkshire County), the far western edge of Massachusetts, the Cranwell Resort, Spa and Golf Club offers a storybook setting,
cozy nooks and enticing nightly rates starting at $233, Tornatore says. And
beyond the intimate atmosphere and reasonable rates, the sprawling spa offers
more than 50 types of treatments, 16 treatment rooms and a glass-encased pool. Here,
you and your partner in crime can indulge in exotic treatments such as a Moroccan massage or reiki therapy.
