This is great--a themed spa grouping (coastal spas and their specials). It'll be interesting to see what other themes come up as well.

Do tell...

I love this thread. How about a nature themed list of spa specials and one for winter themed spas that include winter sports like skiing and snow boarding...not now, of course but later in the year1

Hotel Del Coronado is so beautiful, so I've been told b/c I haven't made it there yet. For those of us landlocked in AZ, I recommend the W Scottsdale for swanky Hollywood-esque surroundings, Hotel Valley Ho for retro chic digs and Miraval Tucson for glam desert surroundings. They may not be beach front property but the pools are great, as are the spas.

More in Maryland and Virginia please!

I'm headed to Mohonk Mountain House is less than two weeks! While it won't exactly be beach season anymore, I do expect to be able to enjoy the lake views and maybe even some boating on the small and private Mohonk Lake. Stay tuned for the review next month!
