\u201cTouch nurtures and fosters emotional and physical stability, conveying the message of care, acceptance, and unconditional love,\u201d explains Anne Bramham, founder of the American Spa Therapy and Education Certification Council (ASTECC). \u201cWhen we touch, we touch the body-mind, which partners in the restorative care of all of our issues \u2014 strengthening immunity, fortitude, and the desire for life.\u201d<\/p>\n

We knew we loved our massages but now, we know why. Whether it\u2019s the capable hands of a skilled masseuse, a rain room, deep vibrations, or soothing heat, no vacation is complete without the sense of touch.<\/p>\n

A Touch of the Rainforest<\/h4>\n

The ultimate sensual journey may just be Crystal Healing for Couples at The Retreat Costa Rica. This 120-minute ritual was created to \u201cstrengthen a couple\u2019s heart connection.\u201d It begins with a side-by-side amethyst scrub and an outdoor, crystal-infused shower to clear old energies.<\/p>\n

Couples are then treated to a romantic hydrotherapy bath with essential oil, moonstone dust, and color therapy that ignites the chakras \u2014 seven specific energy points that bind couples together. After a soothing side-by-side heart chakra massage, music and sound meditation bring tantric energies, and a ceremonial chocolate tincture is consumed to stimulate natural production of the love hormone, oxytocin.<\/p>\n

Weary travelers who visit Hotel Xcaret Mexico will find Muluk Spa\u2019s cave-like, natural rock treatment rooms. Here, sight, sound, aromas, tastes, and touch combine to create multi-sensory journeys that involve massages, flotariums, mud baths, Temazcal steam ceremonies, hydrotherapy, Mayan \u201cLove Thing\u201d facials \u2026 and a wellness bar with teas, tisanes, and infusions of fresh fruits, spices, and roots.<\/p>\n

The Benefits of Sea Days<\/h4>\n

Silversea Cruises is launching a new wellness concept called Otium, which takes its cue from ancient Romans who knew a thing or two about sensual pleasures. Debuting on the Silver Dawn in Europe this spring, the concept breaks free of the spa itself \u2014 enabling guests to indulge in everything from in-suite comfort food sessions, couples\u2019 massages set to music, and candlelit bath experiences to scent-based sleep treatments and \u201cUnder the Sun\u201d balcony sunbathing sessions.<\/p>\n

Lotus Spa aboard Princess Cruises\u2019 Royal Princess is a haven for wellness-seeking lovebirds. In addition to private couples\u2019 villas, the facility is home to The Enclave, a spacious thermal suite featuring an enticing waterfall rain pool. There\u2019s also a Scrub & Shine Bar, where a variety of aromatic ingredients can be blended to create personalized salt or sugar scrubs.<\/p>\n

The Spa aboard Celebrity Edge is billed as a \u201cplayground for the senses\u201d with eight distinct treatment areas including a Turkish Hammam, luminous Crystalarium, infrared sauna room, and Float Room with swinging chairs and windows overlooking the sea. Treatments include cold therapy, thousand flower detox, earth grounding, zero gravity immersion massages, and destination-inspired potions that set the mood for exploration.<\/p>\n
