The World’s Most Bucket-List Worthy Spas

f you’ve been craving that kind of reset, these bucket-list spas around the world aren’t just beautiful — they’re transformative.

Here are a few that truly stand out.

1. Amanemu – Japan

Located in the Ise-Shima National Park region of Japan, Amanemu is built around natural hot springs (onsen culture is deeply rooted in Japanese wellness traditions).

Think:

  • Private soaking tubs overlooking the water

  • Minimalist design that instantly calms your nervous system

  • Forest air and absolute stillness

This is not a flashy spa experience.
It’s quiet. Intentional. Grounded.

Perfect for: solo reflection, mother-daughter reset, or a deep personal pause.

2. SHA Wellness Clinic – Spain

If you want structure with your serenity, SHA Wellness Clinic blends luxury with medical-grade wellness.

Here you’ll find:

  • Personalized nutrition programs

  • Detox and anti-inflammatory menus

  • Hydrotherapy circuits

  • Advanced wellness diagnostics

It’s less “spa weekend” and more “full reset.”

Perfect for: women who want to feel clear, strong, and back in control of their health.

3. Ananda in the Himalayas – India

Set above the Ganges River near Rishikesh, Ananda in the Himalayas blends Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, and mountain air in a way that feels ancient and sacred.

This isn’t surface-level pampering.

It’s:

  • Daily yoga and meditation

  • Personalized Ayurvedic therapies

  • Deep spiritual calm

Perfect for: women at a turning point — new chapter energy.

4. Blue Lagoon Retreat – Iceland

Yes, the lagoon is iconic — but the Retreat at the Blue Lagoon is something else entirely.

The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland offers private lagoon access, in-water massages, and spa rituals built around geothermal seawater.

Think:

  • Floating in mineral-rich warmth

  • Lava landscapes

  • Nordic calm

Perfect for: pairing with an Iceland adventure (this would be beautiful woven into a WildHer group trip, honestly).

5. Six Senses Zighy Bay – Oman

Hidden between mountains and the sea, Six Senses Zighy Bay feels wildly remote — in the best way.

You can even paraglide into the resort if you’re feeling bold.

The spa focuses on:

  • Holistic wellness

  • Sleep programs

  • Traditional hammam experiences

  • Sustainability-forward luxury

Perfect for: adventurous women who want both thrill and restoration.

Why a Spa Trip Isn’t “Extra”

Women carry so much.

Work. Family. Emotional labor. Logistics. Planning everything.

A true spa retreat isn’t indulgent — it’s recalibrating.

It’s choosing:

  • Slower mornings

  • Nourishing meals

  • Silence

  • Care

And honestly? You don’t have to wait for burnout to book it.

If one of these is calling your name, I can help design the trip around it — flights, transfers, add-on adventures, or even pairing it with a girls’ getaway or mother-daughter experience.

You deserve trips that restore you — not just exhaust you. Message me when you’re ready.
