Southern spas, the great escape
| No other word quite equates to “indulgence” than “spa.” While California is generally known as the Queen of Spa Land, the South, mostly recognized for its grits and gravy and sweet potato pie, is quickly becoming the runner-up princess for a spa escape. Not all great spas are in big cities like Atlanta, Nashville, and Miami, though, so some may take quite the effort to get there. Consider these few options dappled over Dixie to say “Ah! Spa!” |

Georgia’s Sea Island is tiny — only five miles long and a couple of miles wide — but it is perhaps most famed for its glorious isolation and stunning natural beauty. Edged by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and endless acres of salt marsh on the west, nature and quiet reign here among the massive oaks, willowy pines, Spanish moss, and crayon-colored foliage. The internationally acclaimed resort’s spa treatments are simply yummy, especially the “Georgia Mud Pie Wrap and Soak” that detoxifies and warms, and the “Ambrosia Body Scrubs” in flavors of coconut, lemon chiffon, and bamboo. Contact Sea Island toll-free at 800-732-4752 or visit www.seaisland.com.
