Amber SPA’s philosophy is based on the belief that all of us are born with a reserve of health which gets dissipated throughout our lives as a result of our unhealthy lifestyles. This reserve needs to be replenished regularly to reverse the effects of ill-health as we head into old age. The spa’s team of experts has therefore developed a comprehensive programme to assist guests on their journey to improved health and optimum balance.

The six-week Balans Programme, based on detox and regeneration, is tailored to an individual’s needs and features three steps:

• Diagnostics – a thorough analysis of functional conditions using bio-chemical testing (a blood test to determine how foods influence the body’s metabolism), physical and emotional diagnostics

• Renewal – one-on-one consultation with a doctor to understand test results and preparation of personalised diet, fitness and treatments plans

• Maintenance – a programme is designed to help guests maintain a healthy lifestyle on return home. In addition, they get access to a personal wellness manager at least for a year following their stay

During the stay, guests engage in a continuous dialogue with the spa’s specialists in general, sports and holistic medicine, whose knowledge stems from their different backgrounds as well as first-hand experiences of the Balans Programme.

Guests can also experience a wide range of treatments from Eastern and Western cultures, as well as traditional techniques that use the power of the famous Latvian Amber stone, as well as local herbs, mud and birch juice. Additionally, they can join Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, Callanetics, Aqua aerobics, and dance classes, and enjoy spa facilities, such as authentic Russian baths, a personal training studio and a large indoor swimming pool available in the Balans international wellness centre. Tennis, golf, horse riding, and cycling can be organised on request.

The benefits of the Balans Programme are further enhanced by the surrounding environment which is important for achieving the body and mind balance. Amber SPA is located only 20 minutes from Riga in Jurmala, the largest resort city in the Baltic States. Surrounded by a beautiful pine forest, this picturesque area is renowned for its mild climate, 30kms of white sandy beaches, fresh sea air, curative mud and mineral waters.

The hotel’s 21 suites, ranging from 14 to 70 sqm in size, are designed to maximise guests’ relaxation through design elements such as warm colours, organic shapes and the use of locally sourced amber. My Life Restaurant serves a selection of traditional but nutritionally balanced home-made dishes. The chef will assist in creating an individual menu for each personally.

Optimisation of an individual’s food intake and physical fitness combined with relaxation in a beautiful natural environment leads to a healthier life and a better balance. In addition, Balans international wellness centre puts strong emphasis on helping guests expand their understanding of health through education (various seminars by health experts are regularly arranged) thus allowing them to enjoy the benefits of their stay long after they return home.

Prices start from €50 per night for a standard double suite. Day Spa Programmes are available in addition to a 3 Day Detox and the Balans Programme.

Special offer: Prices for 5 day Balans programme start from €1,000 per person (approximately £900 per person) and include consultations and wellness diagnostics; talks with health experts; all accommodation; all meals; spa treatments listed in itinerary; use of wellness club facilities; personal training sessions; airport transfers. Flights not included.

Instead of spending a few hundred dollars on the airfare, save your money for a special gift.  SPA LUX was created with couples in mind, so think about spending your money on pampering your spouse and yourself in the most romantic setting in town.

A visit to SPA LUX will not only be romantic, of course. It is also good for the body, mind and spirit. SPA LUX is like a luxury spa resort, but just for a day, and it does offer Valentine’s Day specials. If your plans are for an anniversary weekend, let the SPA LUX team know in advance and you’ll likely find a bottle of champagne when you get there.

There is no doubt that you can read reviews and go to some of the most luxurious spa resorts in America. You can visit Ojai Valley Inn Resort & Spa in California, and the most famous in North America – Canyon Ranch, in Arizona. Nevertheless, surprisingly enough, you can find very similar treatments and a very romantic and luxurious atmosphere at SPA LUX in Tulsa.  This luxury day spa was selected by DaySpa Magazine for having “Best Design for 2008″ in North America.  Spa Lux was also featured in Travel+Leisure Magazine as one of the top “25 American Hot Spots” in November of 2009.

SPA LUX is Tulsa’s largest day spa where guests experience the ultimate luxury. SPA LUX will take you into the world of relaxation and calmness through superior massage, aroma and hydro-therapies, manicures, pedicures, facials, and waxing.

Under the “Hanalei Holiday Special,” you can stay between December 20 and January 4 and enjoy 25% off on all room categories. You must stay a minimum of three nights to get the discounted rates.

But, as with all deals out there, don’t forget to calculate closely to make sure you see the offer for what it really is.

Valid for three-night stays, the $999 package, pretax, includes your accommodations (in a king or two-queen “superior” room) and $999 worth of spa treatments.

At face value, that sounds like a free room, right? But that’s not really the case, because you can get a comparable room under another resort special (an advance-purchase offer), without the spa credit, for as low as $139 per night, or $417 for the three nights. So what the deal amounts to, essentially, is $417 in spa savings.

If you’re not crazy about spas, there’s no reason to bother with such a deal. But if you and your traveling companion could use a few days of intensive pampering, this could be a perfect way to do it. For instance, $999 worth of spa treatments could get you:

– Two 80-minute Swedish massages (valued at $160 each).
– Two 80-minute white-clay mask treatments ($185 each).
– One manicure ($35).
– One “Spirit of Vermont” massage-reflexology-reiki combo package ($160).
– One 50-minute “tension tamer” massage ($115).

Valid for stays Sunday through Thursday now through April 30.
