I am looking to combine a healthy getaway with culture, and want to experience treatments that are indigenous to the country I am visiting. Where can you recommend?

Well-being combined with culture is an emerging trend and more innovative spas have created original treatments based on local culture and customs. Travel to India and stay at Ananda, secluded in the absolute serenity and beauty of the Himalayas, this stunning retreat offers a wonderful experience where you can try Ayurveda therapies such as Shirodhara forehead therapy, Bolus Bag massage and a Mukh Lepa facial. Alternatively fly to Cyprus and stay at a boutique retreat called Ayii Anargyri, this spa with a heart was founded by two brothers in 1649 that cared for the sick and the dying without payment. The resort’s unique history and natural resources make it an idyllic place for those seeking healing and rejuvenation. Visitors can benefit from the health giving waters from their rooms as well as through unusual spa treatments.
