There are not, to my knowledge, places actually called “Recovery Spas”, but if you’re like me, you know what it means intuitively. First let me tell you what a recovery spa is not:

• A recovery spa probably does not exist in Las Vegas. Or probably not in any other city filled with noise and bright lights.
• A recovery spa is probably not a part of a chain with commercial elements to its décor.
• A recovery spa is definitely not ugly, noisy, dirty, or any other adjective that elicits stress.

So what is a recovery spa?

• A recovery spa is a place where when you walk out the front door, you find yourself still in a place of peace and serenity.
• A recovery spa might be privately owned, rustic, quiet, beautiful, and health oriented.
• A recovery spa makes sure that guests get the attention they need, while simultaneously giving them space to contemplate, drink tea, relax, and recover from whatever stresses led them to recovery in the first place.

Sound like your cup of tea? With the holiday season already in full action, the idea of “stress” becomes more and more a part of our everyday reality. Who are we going to invite? What are we going to buy? How am I NOT going to gain 10 pounds this month? And lastly, how am I ever going to afford all this stuff? Seems like most of us need a break after winter break.

Believe me, being in the travel industry, we at TripCart know what it feels like to need a vacation from the vacation. So book a day or two at one of these stress-free spas, leave the holidays behind you, and recover. That’s what they’re there for.
