HAKONE KOWAKIEN YUNESSUN SPA

Japan

Spas are relaxing, but can they

also be fun? You bet they can.

Uproarious fun. At Hakone

Kowakien Yunessun Spa in

Hakone, a spa bath could mean

sitting under gently dripping sake,

or taking a dip in green tea, sitting

neck deep in red wine, or getting

dunked in coffee. The main spa

area, named ‘The God’s Aegean

Sea’, no less, has smaller massage

pools within a large pool. The

theme park concept of water slides

has been modified for spa use here,

as Yunessun’s ‘Rodeo Mountain’

sends guests screaming happily

down three chutes – all with heated

water, so no worries in winter.

ONDA SPA
Costa Rica

There aren’t too many spots left on
Earth where one might experience
‘pura vida’ or the ‘pure life’. Onda
Spa at Andaz Peninsula Papagayo
Resort is one of those rare places, in
the Papagayo region of Costa Rica.
Three of its nine treatment rooms are
outdoors – a guest drifts into a state of
complete peace listening to birdsong

and the curated music inspired by

traditional rhythms. The spa rooms

offer splendid views of Culebra Bay,

one of the most spectacular parts of this

Central American nation with its lovely

beaches and greenery. The signature

treatment is the ‘Onda Cambio’, a

complete and customised therapy based

on each guest’s specific needs.
