A jaw-droppingly grand spa in the heart of the lavender-scented Provencal countryside, a 45-minute drive from Nice airport. It’s the new addition to the all-suite resort with its two championship golf courses and stunning infinity pool with views of medieval hilltop towns. Expect the characteristic Four Seasons double whammy of superb service and top of the range kit, presented in such a friendly, unsnooty way that even spa virgins wouldn’t feel intimidated. But what it also delivers are those very modern luxuries – space and calm.The Spa Discovery Package starts from euros 695 (£473) per night b&b in a suite, plus a 55 minute treatment per day, based on two sharing. Spa day packages start at euros 295 (£201) including 165 minutes of treatments.
For those of you not up on your currency conversions that comes in at around $935 American per night. But of course if you’re the type who’s used to staying at the Four Seasons that really doesn’t matter.

Opened in November, Caesars Palace’s Qua Baths and Spa has treatments for all your ailments, including if you so desire, a room where it snows year round.
Qua’s ice room, the only one of its kind in the United States, comes from the millennia-old European bathing tradition of using snow to cleanse the body, said Don Genders, a partner of Eurospa Technologies LLC, the room’s creator. Ice is available in the room for those who want to rub it on steaming skin.
I guess the idea is going from a hot sauna to a cold room is invigorating, and might also provide “healthful” benefits. I like to “spa” as much as the next person, but the idea of standing in my skivvies while being snowed on isn’t all that appealing to me.
