Lanserhof Tegernsee

Lanserhof Tegernsee, Germany

Located on the edge of Lake Tegernsee south of Munich, the Lanserhof Tegernsee was named the Destination Spa of the Year at the 2015 World Spa and Wellness Awards in London just a year after opening its doors in 2014. Unlike recreational and leisure resorts, guests of Lanserhof Tegernsee receive personalized health plans with the help of an on-site physician, including two medical examinations, abdominal check-ups, detox drainage procedures, detox body wrap and bath, and a urine analysis. One of the pillars of the Lans Med Concept is the belief that a person’s energy comes from the digestive tract. Viewed as the ā€˜root system of the human being,’ doctors and therapists treat intestines as the key to healing the immune system.

Canyon Ranch Tucson, Arizona

Named after its past as a working cattle ranch between 1930 and 1970, Canyon Ranch Tucson is spread across 150 acres of Sonoran desert in Southern Arizona and features a health and wellness menu that includes everything from fitness, skin care, maternity, weight loss, Chinese medicine, nutrition, and even healthy feet. Year-round sun and warm weather also make Tucson an ideal setting for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking and swimming. The health retreat also took the Crystal Award for best resort in North America at the 2015 Wellness Travel Awards.
