Yes, spa vacations are more often viewed as girly adventures but, whether they admit it or not, more and more men secretly enjoy a day at the spa as well. In that case, what could be more romantic than a spa vacation where you and your significant other can relax and be pampered in style together?

We’ve searched high and low for the most romantic spa vacation destinations for couples. Pack your bags and take your sweetie away for a weekend and you’re sure to reignite the spark in your relationship. Each of these spas specializes in catering to two at a time.

5. Mirbeau Inn and Spa

In the hills of Skaneateles, New York, tucked away in the Finger Lakes region of the state, you’ll find the Mirbeau Inn and Spa. The French inspired spa is designed to create an air of relaxation and certainly does its job. The spectacular gardens and ponds were mapped out to resemble the Giverny home of Claud Monet and the food, wine, and d?cor within each chateau room follow suit. The grounds even sport a replica of the famous bridge from Monet’s painting.

So what’s it like at the Mirbeau Inn and Spa? Upon arrival you’re sure to enjoy an orange blossom milk bath followed by a succulent French cuisine in the Inn’s restaurant. Later you’ll enjoy a 100-minute couples massage, in which you will both enjoy a full body massage while relaxing in the same room, followed by another long and luxurious body soak. Don’t forget to stop to dip your feet in the heated foot-massage pool on your way back to your room for the evening – the second best way to wrap up a day of luxurious pampering.

4. The Spa at the Hotel Hershey

Hershey Hotel

The first thing we think about when we hear of Hershey is chocolate, and the folks at this European style spa have taken the theme and run with it. The most popular treatment at this conveniently located resort is the whipped cocoa bath and if you prefer something a bit more intimate you might opt for the chocolate fondue wrap for two, including warmed moor mud with cocoa essence brushed onto the body and then gently rinsed away. Mmmmm!

Those looking for something a little more exotic might appreciate The Spa at the Hotel Hersey for their Cuban themed treatments as well. There are bath soaks featuring Cuba’s white butterfly jasmine flower and spectacular tropical mojito sugar scrubs that no couple can resist!

3. Miraval, Life in Balance

The Miraval, Life in Balance spa and resort is found in Catalina, Arizona and offers more than simple body treatments. Couples will, of course, enjoy traditional hot stone massages, bath soaks, and romantic meals together, but there’s something special about this Sonoran desert destination.

This spectacular spa caters not only to happy couples but to those who feel as though they’re lacking something in their marriages or relationships. Drs. David Taylor and Lana Holstein regularly offer workshops at the spa in an effort to teach couples the difference between “having sex and making love.”

The spa is not all about sex. It’s about teaching couples to be intimate, whether that means enjoying a night hunkered down in their rooms or holding hands while strolling through the inspirational halls.

2. Red Mountain Spa

In Ivins, Utah sits the Red Mountain Spa. This amazing spa destination is for couples that seek to mix adventure with relaxation. Why hike a mountain and eat beans out of a can when you could spend the day on the trails and then relax with a five-course dinner?

After a day of togetherness on the trails many happy couples appreciate the spa’s signature treatment known as “Four Directions.” This treatment combines tobacco and cornmeal into a body scrub followed by a massage and herbal wrap. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the sweet herbal scents and cedarwood aromas.

A simple spa vacation may be all you need, whether you want to simply get away and unwind or add an entirely new spark to your relationship. Spend a weekend or take an entire week. Pamper yourselves, love yourselves, and enjoy your time away from home!
