Tatler Spa Guide 2007

Spas are the new escape. The drug of today. But there's a big difference between the fancy-pants phoneys and the ones that really do something for you. We're so over whale music and gentle stroking. From a hot-oil head rub for all that traffic-jammed tension to a shiatsu dance massage, we want the real deal, as well as gorgeous surroundings and the latest science alongside age-old local wisdom. Most importantly, we want treatments that spark us up - not just for the day but for the long haul.

So here's Tatler's Body & Soul guide to the 104 places that will rock your chakras, sponsored by the awesome Cleveland Travel. These are the big hitters, the spas that are really brilliant at what they do. But before you levitate to Bali, we start closer to home with quick fixes in the UK and short hops abroad - and then move further afield with our World's Top Spas section. Dig in.
