Top Luxury Resort Spas in the U.S.

I was afraid this might happen. Ever since my first massage at the Mirage Resort and Spa in Las Vegas, and then my subsequent spa treatments at the Avalon Hotel & Spa in Portland, I’ve been ACHING for more! I want another hot stone massage and I think I’d benefit from a facial a week. And my hands would look so much nicer if I just took care of them. I don’t want to indulge too much, but I think at my age, after spending and saving so conservatively for 60 years, I should not feel guilty at the occasional indulgence. Now I just need to figure out what “occasional” really means. Once a week? Month? Year? I’m thinking month.

Fodors lists these ten spas as the 10 Top Luxury Resort Spas:

• Amangani Health Center at the Amangani Resort – Jackson, Wyoming
• Spa Gaucin at the St. Regis Monarch – Monarch Beach, California
• Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa – Phoenix, Arizona
• Greenbriar Resort & Spa – While Sulphur Springs, West Virginia
• Hualalai Sports Club and Spa at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai – Kona, Hawaii
• Allegria Spa at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort – Avon, Colorado
• Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa – Asheville, North Carolina
• The Spa at the Post Ranch Inn – Big Sur, California
• The Spa at the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne – Key Biscayne, Florida
• Bellagio Spa Resort (Hotel and Casino) – Las Vegas, Nevada

Well, I think it would be unreasonable to visit all of these spots, but at the very least…I’m calling the Arizona Biltmore right now to make this month’s appointment! Does anyone have any other recommendations in the greater Phoenix area?
