Clean Slate

10 Hotels for De-stressing and Detoxing

Ten hotels for a bit of clean living, whether you’re atoning for some holiday overindulgence or just getting a head start on your New Year’s resolutions.

Asclepios Wellness Spa Hotel
This Costa Rican escape, named for the Greek god of healing, is less about preserving an ecosystem and more about rejuvenating the body and soul.

Almyra Hotel
An old Paphos beachside hotel finds new life as a modern minimalist boutique, a temple devoted to sun, sand and the Mediterranean-style good life.

PuLi Shanghai
The megalopolis of Shanghai may seem an odd choice for unplugging, but this 26-story tower hides soothing interiors and a world-class Anantara wellness center.

Bulgari Bali
Both Bali and the original Bulgari Hotel would be fine choices for a high-luxury detox — combine the two and you’ve got a pairing that’s just about untouchable.

Six Senses Ninh Van Bay
Just across the bay from busy Nha Trang on a lush, mountainous peninsula is a villa compound that gives the word “hideaway” an extra dimension of meaning.

Ventana Inn & Spa
If the essence of the California coast is to be found anywhere, it’s here: Ventana is the original Big Sur luxury resort, and the experience is one-of-a-kind.

Mezzatorre Resort & Spa
A short ferry hop from Naples and you’re on the island of Ischia, the opposite of Naples in every way — which, when it comes time to relax, is only a good thing.

Sedona Rouge
Here the name just about says it all: the gorgeous Red Rock country around Sedona, Arizona is the Southwest’s mecca for spiritually inclined luxury travel.

Anantara Bophut
There are few places more stunning than Koh Samui without the crowds, and the folks at Anantara know a thing or two about recharging the body and mind.

Viceroy Riviera Maya
Between the party towns of Playa del Carmen and Cancún is an unspoiled enclave that’s wholly dedicated to the sublime beauty of the Atlantic coast.
