Girfriend Getaway: Miami

Youll be BFFs perpetually after the day at the single of these sizzling spas.

We say the sauna at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami is value the revisit for the VIP suites alone; there have been 6 of them, all with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Biscayne Bay. (Tip: If you book the diagnosis toward evening, youll witness the little superb sunsets over the water.)

The signature diagnosis is the Oriental Essence massage, which includes the consultation with the therapist as well as the full-body customized treatment. An engaging half-day program, drawing upon Miamis heritage, is the Latin Rhythms sauna package, which includes the private Samba class followed by an exfoliation of lime, mint as well as sugar, as well as the hot stone massage. A Spa Mojito bubbly beverage as well as the Latin-Asian bento box lunch have been then served poolside. Detox-Retox, were all over that!

Spa Director Osa Mallo suggests renting treatments the week in advance for weekends as well as holidays, yet last-minute requests have been usually accommodated. E-mail her at omallo@mohg.com or call her at 305-913-8331 for insider tips.

Palms, tropical-yellow buildings with exquisitely-carved wooden balconies and Spanish palaces sweep you back in time. Before becoming too nostalgic, head for the modern and very hip Miraflores district. Hugging the green cliffs, Miraflores offers visitors an incredib
