Is there really any better place to take it down a notch than at the Four Seasons? They always do luxury best and when it comes to booking a staycation and their spa treatments, this haute spot is no exception. Take, for example, their couples massage, which can be brought to the comfort and privacy of your own suite – doesn’t get much better than that. They also offer a variety of reflexology, shiatsu and reiki treatments as well as a full array of massages. Be sure to save some time after for a soak in the whirlpool, a steam in a sauna or a relaxing swim in the indoor heated pool.

This massive 16,000 square foot day spa in Back Bay is one of Boston’s best. The treatments here offer a holistic approach combining modern techniques with Eastern traditional therapies. As soon as you step into the spa, you know you are in for something special. There are eight treatment rooms (five with their own personal showers), including two private couples’ suites. Their array of treatments ranges from custom made facials and craniosacral therapies to postnatal massages and wellness escapes. Linger a little longer in the quartz crystal steam room, vitality pool, experience showers or relaxation lounges.
