Massages, $89-$195
What: A two-story hillside eco-spa in a country house hotel, with a living roof of fragrant herbs, a Spatisserie for virtuous dining and champagne, a gym, a steam room, an experience shower, and a large, dramatically illuminated pool.
The look: Dazzling white walls and skylights bring in natural light; pinky-beige lampshades lend the changing room a mellow glow. Elsewhere, furnishings are modern minimalist, with eccentric flourishes.
Who goes: Burned-out city couples on romantic escapes; yummy mummies with nannies and (sometimes noisy) children in tow.
The treatment: The English Rose Wrap comprises an exfoliation with crushed olive pits, a hydrating rose gel, an oil and cream wrap, and a nurturing neck and scalp massage.
P.S.: Ask for Sarah: The only problem with her massage is that it ends.
