Condé Nast publication Vogue is applauding the world's best wellness businesses.
The magazine launches an inaugural Global Spa Guide this week. With 100 entries total, Hilton's Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam and the Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto offer a preview of the luxury hospitality locations featured.
Health is wealth
Now live, the new release sorts through the thriving wellness scene. Broken out into regional groups, the Global Spa Guide covers a range of facilities, from medispas to holistic centers.
Matching the industry's quick progression, its contents do not stop short of the nonconventional. Editor and writer-trialed recommendations for cryotherapy, vitamin IV infusion, infrared services and more await readers.
Vogue shares that its assessment is robust and considers the needs of city residents looking for self-care, jet-setters who want to explore a new health culture and everyone in between.
Options suitable for both weekday retreats and longer-term relaxation trips are given the limelight, and concepts differ: Chicago's private social and health club Bian is distinct from UNESCO World Heritage-based Euphoria Retreat, which boasts self-improvement and rediscovery journeys in Greece.
The Global Spa Guide's other trending destinations include Como Laucala Island in Fiji; Kisawa Sanctuary in Mozambique; Rosewood Hotel and Resorts' Kona Village in Hawaii; IHG Hotels & Resorts' Six Senses Ibiza and Shibui at New York City's Greenwich Hotel.
Similar to other seasonal deliveries from Condé Nast titles (see story), the Global Spa Guide will be updated annually.
