There\u2019s something about a hotel spa \u2013\u00a0from the sense of calm that envelops you as you walk through the door to the ease of tired muscles as you sink into a Jacuzzi. Whether you want to stretch out on a massage table in the open air or under the sea, or steam in a traditional hammam, here\u2019s our Listopedia of the world\u2019s best spas.<\/p>\n

Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley<\/h2>\n

Nestled underneath an escarpment inside Wollemi National Park just beyond NSW\u2019s traditional Blue Mountains locations, Wolgan Valley<\/a> is the spot to sequester yourself away from the world and soak up the fresh bush air. Doze away the afternoon in the deep spa tubs before blissing out with a facial or spend your treatment listening to the sounds of the bush on a massage table out in the middle of the trees. This is one of the easiest spots to get in touch with nature.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Barai, Hyatt Regency Hua Hin, Thailand<\/h2>\n

Big, bold and beautiful is\u00a0the\u00a0best way to describe this spa. Housed in its own complex at\u00a0the\u00a0Hyatt Regency in Thailand\u2019s resort town of Hua Hin, The Barai<\/a>\u00a0has not only treatment rooms, but its own spa suites. They start at 126 square metres in size and go up from there. More of a villa than a suite, each of\u00a0the\u00a0eight suites has his and hers walk in wardrobes and bathrooms, shower room with built in hammam steam, enormous spa bath, day beds, in room massage table for two and custom made emperor king beds. And then there\u2019s the spa. Walk through a maze of rock gardens, contemplation pools and hidden passageways until you cross a small stream to reach your room. Book in for a night massage when the entire spa is lit up with hundreds of tea lights.<\/p>\n

Londolozi Private Game Reserve, Sabi Sands, South Africa<\/h2>\n

This luxury lodge in the heart of South Africa’s famous game reserve knows how to look after tired bodies. There’s nothing like six\u00a0hours a day driving around on safari to have you calling out for a massage. The Londolozi<\/a> spa is kept busy in the hours between morning and evening safari drives \u2013 reflexology, deep tissue, relaxation \u2013 they can do just about anything.\u00a0And there aren’t too many places around the world where a soundtrack isn’t needed \u2013 the sounds of the wild are all around you. It’s hard to resist popping your head up from the massage table to peer at baboons hooting at the waterhole.<\/p>\n
