Spa breaks and the emerging
genre of spa resorts, specializing in wellness,
Urbane Nomads tailors spa breaks with a true sense
of destination- from from macrobiotic diets in Spain
to ayurvedic treatments in Kerala or Sri Lanka,
casual spa vacations to specialized, purposeful spa
trips.
From a spa treatment
facilitating mare's milk in Northern
Mongolia to an authentic hammam session in
Aleppo, a specialized, purpose-driven trip
to the Chiva-Som or interweaving a distinct
spa element to your honeymoon ( a flower
shower in the tropical rainforest and spa
treatments resurrected from ancient courtly
practices) or cultural trip, ending the day
with a hot stone bath whilst gazing over
pine forests in Bhutan or benefiting from
spa products from one of the oldest spas in
the world (that counts Catherine de Medici
as one of its patrons) in Firenze.
