World's
Best Hotels and Resorts.
To all those
who searched for exotic beauty, heavens on earth, majestic
nature, divine serenity, extreme adventures, romance,
forbidden whispers, succulent specialties, sinful luxury,
scandalous extravaganza, outrageous decadence and
cadence, family and warm ambiance...I think I found the
world's most fabulous and unmatched spots on earth. I have
it...a bouquet of hotels, spas and resorts which will
transport you to another dimension, or could transport
that "other dimension" to your life and make your fantasy
a scary reality...
Fabulous
Places, travel, vacations, food, hospitality, people,
times and eras.
Mon Dieu! To be and live in
Paris during "Les annees folles", between the end of 1917
and 1934, especially if you were an eccentric artist, an
intellectual adventurer, a frou-frou femme fatale, a
genius or an independently wealthy American, willing to
spend a lot of money on arts, dating and women. Ask
Madonna, Paulette Attie, Penelope de Vassy and
Louise de Chambertin.
Really
"real" America's la crème de la crème was there. The
"real" American high society, the privileged class, the
snobs (Although it was too early for the Americans to know
how to be a snob), les bourgeois, wealth filthy
characters, the hustlers with a style, the scandalous
adventurous women, the schmoozer and the cruisers, the
handsome gigolos, the champagne, the caviar, the kisses
and the misses, sex, the drama and all the "chic"
pleasures of the era. Hemingway was here. Paramour Stein
too. Why Paris - what made everybody want to come here and
create, and drink, and dance, and paint, and write stories
or invent them? Women? obnoxious, over-cultured and
over-sophisticated Frenchmen? Bubbly champagne? Sinfully
good wine? Nice plat de fromage? A nostalgia? A fantasy? A
new social, political and artistic era? A modern Parisian
revolution? Yes! Yes! All of the above! Paris was a magic.
And the people who lived in Paris were fabulous and
delightfully mad! Tout le monde etait fou et philosophe,
meaning "Everybody was crazy and a philosopher."...

Mystique Ayurvedic spa on the African coast
DIANI,
Kenya- Here's a unique setting for an alternative holiday at the
seaside - no diving or energy-consuming water sports, but a week of
massages, yoga, and ayurvedic treatments, combined with an
all-vegetarian menu where alcohol consumption is frowned upon. It
may sound like torture if your idea of a vacation is to party all
the time or experience thrilling adventures. But if you are looking
for something more serene, a spot along the south coast of Kenya
offers respite in the tropics of the Indian Ocean...
Trendy
American spas include exotic influences, niche markets...
Photo: In this photo provided by Jacob Chin, a
model is given a therapeutic stone massage using heated black basalt
stones and cool white marble stones Aug. 6, 2005, at the Miraval
Life in Balance Spa in Catalina, Arizona.
Now that day spas are turning up in airports,
malls and beauty salons, destination spas are increasingly offering
unique services and products to differentiate themselves from
mainstream purveyors of massages and facials. New services include
unusual Asian healing practices and rituals inspired American Indian
traditions. .. |
