The Best Well-Being Getaways
Ocean House
The Ocean & Harvest Spa sits atop Watch Hill, where you can do just that—watch the ocean waves roll in with a view of the serene indoor pool at your toes. Massages are the specialty here, including the one-of-a-kind Time Together couple’s massage in your own private double suite and a massage that uses warm beach stones from the local shore to ease sore muscles. Afterward, enjoy five-star dining at Coast, then rest your head on a cushy pillow upstairs.

Miraval Berkshires
Treat yourself to a holistic mind-and-body retreat at this temple to wellness in the Berkshires. Whether you’re staying on-site or nearby, you’ll want to book the Relax & Renew day package (which includes lunch, smoothies, and a spa credit) to take advantage of the full slate of unique treatments. Before or after sessions, relax your mind with a soak in the hot tubs or indoor-outdoor pool—and after lunch, sharpen it with classes like hatchet-throwing, chicken-keeping, and archery. Pro tip: Book Monday to Thursday for the best rates. Also: while in the area check out the Norman Rockwell Museum.
