The World's Top Spa Suites for a Relaxing Retreat

SHARE:

Hotel spa suites are the ultimate in luxury pampering, bringing your favorite spa amenities—including the treatment table—directly to your private room when traveling. But not all of them are created equal; the variety in available amenities makes some inherently more attractive than others. The below seven suites are true bucket-list destinations—book them for a once-in-a-lifetime treat.

Spa Suite at the Bürgenstock Hotel, Lake Lucerne, Switzerland

The just-opened Bürgenstock Hotel is attached to an equally brand-new state-of-the-art spa. But if you’d rather add a bit more intimacy to your pampering experience, book one of their three spa suites instead. They all come with a sauna and a treatment room for services like a 90-minute caviar facial from La Prairie, which plumps and smooths the skin, or the Bürgenstock Alpine Body treatment by Suzanne Kaufmann—a massage that helps boost your metabolism and then sends you to nirvana with a fabulous head and neck rub. The bathtub might not be a Jacuzzi, but it is pushed up against the window to give you a picture-perfect view of Lake Lucerne. From $1,220; Obbürgen; 41-41/612-6000; buergenstock.ch.

Henri Mouhot Suite at Anantara Angkor Resort, Siem Reap, Cambodia

Inspired by the opulence of a luxurious Khmer summer home, this spacious two-bedroom suite (measuring at 2,500 square feet) is swathed in a medley of Asian-inspired design, from flowing Thai silks to Ming Ming decorations that evoke Chinese porcelain to dramatic sandstone relief reminiscent of Angkor ruins. The suite’s spa room comes with a Jacuzzi and a treatment table for your daily complimentary service, like the oil-free Khmer massage which soothes and stretches weary muscles. From $1,490; National Road no. 6, Khum Svay Dangkom; 855-63/966-788; anantara.com.

Courtesy Il Castello - Forte Village Resort

The Presidential Suite at Il Castello at Forte Village Resort, Sardinia, Italy

The top booking at the Il Castello hotel on Sardinia’s Forte Village resort has a massive terrace built with a personal home theater for two, a sauna, and a Jacuzzi—plus peerless views of the Mediterranean. In-room spa treatments, which can also be administered on the terrace, include everything from sports massages (there’s an incredible clay-court facility on the property) to the more exclusive Forte Village Honey and Salt Signature Treatment, which uses salt to purify and exfoliate the skin before hydrating it with a warm honey rubdown. From $2,900; Strada Statale 195 Sulcitana, Pula; 39-70/921-8818; fortevillageresort.com.

Courtesy Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum

The Orchid Spa Suite at Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum, Turkey

This relaxing 2,045-square-foot suite occupies the entire top floor of the resort’s spa. It’s outfitted with a private hammam, a whirlpool tub, a steam room, a terrace with the best views of the Aegean's azure waters, and its own treatment room. You can book a traditional hour-long hammam ritual which combines an exfoliating “kese” scrub, body mask, massage, and more. But classic spa treatments like anti-aging facials and deep-tissue massages are available, too. From $1,400; Cennet Koyu, Çomça Mevkii; 90-252/311-1888; mandarinoriental.com.

Courtesy Hôtel Royal Savoy Lausanne

The Penthouse Suite at The Royal Savoy, Lausanne, Switzerland

Decorated with covetable bespoke furniture like lacquered black-and-white coffee tables from Minotti and elegant lamps by Rebecca Scott and Isabel Hamm, this is the kind of penthouse that makes you feel like you’ve taken residence in your dream home, especially when you wander out to the expansive terrace that looks out to the Alps and Lake Geneva. Rounding out the suite’s inventory of amenities? A private fitness center and a spa, which can be the setting for any treatment on the menu (except the Vichy shower, which can’t be moved), including jet-lag-busting massages, lymphatic drainage, body exfoliations, and much more. From $7,120; Avenue d'Ouchy 40; 41-21/614-8888; royalsavoy.ch.

Thomas Hart Shelby

Boulevard Penthouse Suite at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

A glamorous, 3,500-square-foot penthouse designed by Daun Curry for some of Sin City’s highest rollers has it all. Perched on the building’s 73rd floor, the suite is done up like a modern apartment with creature comforts including two spacious bedrooms, a pool table, a dining lounge lined with sculptural glass installations, a sauna, a salon, and treatment tables for any pampering service you can think of—like the 80-minute Decadent Youth Glow Facial, which combines the anti-aging prowess of  HydraFacial™, Intraceuticals, and NuFace Microcurrent. Pricing upon request; 3708 S Las Vegas Blvd; 1-702/698-7000; cosmopolitanlasvegas.com.

Private Pool Villas at The Anam, Vietnam

These newly unveiled villas in Vietnam’s picturesque Cam Ranh region offer the ultimate wellness vacation. Set on a pristine hillside right next to the resort’s spa, the two 1,950-square-foot abodes feature a steam room and a sunken Jacuzzi, while the bathrooms open up to their own private garden. And of course, they wouldn’t be pool villas if they each didn’t have their own pool. But the best part is that booking here means a complimentary spa treatment every day of your stay: Day one could be the Original Beauty, a brightening facial. Day two, the Sri Mara Arising massage, which mixes Balinese and Vietnamese techniques to relax the mind and body. And Day three might be when you get the Nha Trang Mud Therapy Body Wrap, which uses mineral-rich mud to soften and smooth your skin. From $490; Long Beach, Northern Peninsula Cam Ranh; 84-258/398-949; theanam.com.
