The Cadogan is not the only spa picking up on this spirit-ed trend. Spas around the world are becoming increasingly creative with their service menus and the Year of the Dragon hosts a wide array of new luxury spa services featuring all things booze.

Europe is already on top of the trend, with spas throughout the Czech Republic and Germany pampering clientele with beer baths, beer tubs, and beer pools. Heated to a cozy 93.2 degrees, these malty concoctions claim to ease muscle tension, exfoliate the skin, and infuse the body with vitamins. Indulge with care however, the head on these baths is telling; prolonged immersion in these vats of brew can get a person drunk.

This time the “jungle out there” is the world’s first jungle spa: a quirky but luxurious bit of paradise that was recently named Best Boutique Spa (in the “25 Rooms or Fewer” category) in Spa Finder’s Readers’ Choice Awards.

“We like to say that Maruba was inspired by heaven,” says Franziska Nicholson Dir. of resort design events marketing sales and reservations. “We’ve gone out of our way to create an environment where our guests feel as if everyday problems have melted away from the moment they walk onto the grounds. Many describe it as a sense of peace, even euphoria.”

Make that euphoria with an ethno twist. Not a traditional luxury spa, Maruba offers a one-of-a-kind blend of various Mayan, Creole, and African designs to complement the natural jungle setting, which is enhanced by exotic fauna and flora.

Not withstanding the primordial jungle surroundings, all rooms and suites at Maruba are fully equipped with private baths, air conditioning, CD/DVD players, and other amenities. Each room boasts a unique design congruent with the hotel’s “neo-primitive” jungle theme. On the property are swimming pools and a Japanese mineral bath, as well as a restaurant, bar, meditation room, chess table, exercise room, and full body spa. Says Franziska, “Our Jungle Falls swimming pool provides cool relief in the daytime, and the Japanese tub will make evening star gazing an unforgettable experience.”

The spa at Maruba offers all-natural treatments derived from ancient techniques, and incorporating natural, sustainable products from the proprietary Maruba Therapy® line and the surrounding jungle environment. “We specialize in a number of mud treatments using our all-natural Mood Muds®,” says Franziska. The products in the Maruba Therapy ® line are also for sale, along with a variety of accessories and gift packages, so visitors can take a little bit of the jungle home with them.

But Maruba is not only about luxury and pampering in the middle of nowhere. It’s also a place for adventure, and there are a variety of things to do on the property, including horseback riding and Maruba’s special Medicinal Jungle Hike. Off-property tours are also offered, and there’s a little something for everyone, whether it’s exploration of Mayan ruins, a visit to a wildlife sanctuary, a sport fishing trip, a photographic safari, or a jungle riverboat tour or canoe ride. Those who are concerned about the well-being of the rainforest can rest easy, knowing that there’s a larger, earth-friendly agenda at Maruba as well. The proprietors are dedicated to preserving the ecosystem and promoting environmental awareness and appreciation.

While getting cozy in the quiet comfort of the resort, visit the spa which has added six “Bella Amore” treatments to its list of services just in time for Valentine’s Day.

From a mocha foot scrub to a sinfully sweet, chocolate-infused body polish, treat her to an afternoon of pampering. “Bella Amore” spa packages, starting at just $50 for a relaxing 30-minute chocolate infused Swedish massage, include a sparkling beverage and seasonal hors d’oeurves.

Couples can also enjoy a heated indoor pool, nature walks along the winding six-mile trail, a round of golf or a sunset from the resort’s veranda.

Cypress Bend Resort is an intimate, full-service resort nestled in a forest of oak and pine trees on the shores of Toledo Bend Lake. Features include 18-holes of on-property, championship golf; a full service spa and fitness center; heated indoor/outdoor pool; and a restaurant and bar.

The ESPA-branded spa and the property have teamed up to offer a package featuring unlimited daily EPSA treatments along with daily breakfast for two, roundtrip transfers from Krabi Airport by hotel limousine, 24-hour dedicated butler service and a complimentary daily boat trip to Hong Island.

It isn’t the idea of an unlimited spa package that’s enticing, but the relatively low per-day price (starting at $1,165 per day) and the fact that the value increases exponentially with the amount of spa services booked. If you were to truly schedule a week of pampering, for example, your savings could be as much as $1,800 per day.

That’s not saying that the price isn’t still steep, but it’s a dramatic discount given the services offered. We certainly wouldn’t pass up the chance to stay at one of the resort’s 54 villas.
