ARAWAK SPA at BELMOND CAP JULUCA

Mostly associated with glitzy parties and jet-setting crowds, the Caribbean can also be a place to rejuvenate, thanks to destinations such as the freshly inaugurated Belmond Cap Juluca. Reopened after a multimillion dollar renovation, this stunning resort is nestled on the white sandy beaches of the enchanting Maundays Bay on the exclusive island of Anguilla. Paying homage to the Anguillan heritage with a landscape of indigenous plants, this exciting destination boasts seaside rooms, suites and villas, an infinity pool, a beach bar and culinary offerings – Italian fine dining, Peruvian tapas and Anguillan delicacies – which make it the perfect barefoot luxury retreat. Dive among the pristine coral reefs or lounge seaside pampered by impeccable service. Relax and reboot in the beachfront suites of the brand new Arawak Spa: where rituals, using organic, vegan, reef-friendly and cruelty-free products and featuring local ingredients like rum and locally harvested salt are inspired by the healing traditions of the Amerindian peoples that first inhabited the island. Swipe away all tensions with massages like the Mud Massage using local therapeutic clay with anti-aging properties (50-80 minutes, $165-240 ); get the perfect holiday glow with rejuvenating facials such as the 3D Collagen Shock that tightens and firms the skin with 3 types of collagen (50-80 minutes, $195-245); or immerse yourself in the holistic experience of signature treatments such as the Taino Ritual, an exfoliating body wrap and massage which through the power of local herbs flushes out toxins and energy blocks for an uplifting effect (120 min, $350). Activities like Yoga, Pilates TRX and Anguillan dance classes make sure you get fit while having fun immersed in soothing nature. And the Caribbean becomes a wellness destination.
