Every few weeks (or months) we all need a few days of slowing down and tuning out. There is no better feeling than ditching your everyday clothes for a robe, switching your phone to airplane mode and letting a stranger (with whom you have no obligation to make small talk) pamper you until you’re transported to a world of zen.  

However, if you have taken a few days out of your chaotic schedule to give yourself (and your aching muscles) some attention, you don't want to go in for a treatment that you don’t enjoy. Or even worse, doesn’t do what it promised it would.

To help you avoid such a disheartening situation, we’ve rounded up a list of the most relaxing spa treatments around the country. Take your pick and prepare to zone out. You deserve it.
