There’s a reason the World Spa Awards named the Maldives the best spa destination on the planet: when it comes to pampering yourself, this dreamy country takes the cake. The Maldives, made up of coral atolls in the aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean, is home to hundreds of tropical islands, each more spectacular than the last.

Kuramathi Maldives is a luxury resort with a spa that offers treatments based on traditional Asian therapies, as well as pristine beaches and a diving center for the ultimate in relaxation.

Meanwhile, on North Malé Atoll, the lavish Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives offers luxurious bungalow accommodation in a stunning island destination, complemented by exquisite cuisine and a tranquil spa.

Ise Jingu, also known as “the soul of Japan,” is home to several Shinto shrines dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu. Despite its enormous popularity, the shrine complex’s vast size ensures that it remains a peaceful and relaxing place.

Soft sunlight streams through a grove of cedar trees next to a clear running stream while Shinto priests dressed in traditional garb perform ceremonies in temples that are rebuilt every 20 years. Even the most stressed visitor will feel calmer and more centered after a leisurely stroll here.

Ubud, Bali

Ubud became famous after author Elizabeth Gilbert chose to end her Eat, Pray, Love journey there. It was an excellent choice because it is truly one of the most peaceful places on the planet. Outdoor adventures, enlightenment, and total relaxation are all available. It’s a great place to get a traditional Balinese massage and soak in the atmosphere of one of Asia’s top spa destinations. And, as the saying goes, laughter is the best medicine; head to the nearby Monkey Forest Park to laugh along with the mischievous long-tailed macaques.
