1. Ubud, Bali: Flying Bamboo Spa

Bali is a perennially peaceful getaway by itself, and this spa in the relaxed town of Ubud leans into the Indonesian island’s natural beauty with its calming open-air bamboo structures. Part of the Blue Karma Dijiwa Ubud, Flying Bamboo Spa offers a three-hour couples’ treatment, consisting of a relaxing aromatherapy massage, a Japanese kobido face massage and a soothing flower petal bath to enjoy together following the treatments. Lunch or dinner is also included, refuelling you both as you revel in the post-pampering glow.

2. Chicago: Aire Ancient Baths Chicago

This is an unconventional spot for a romantic getaway: a restored 1902 Chicago factory complex, where the Aire Ancient Baths group has taken residence. The decor comes complete with the original exposed brick, wooden beams and industrial columns – but the concept looks further back to traditional Roman, Greek and Ottoman bathhouses, with steam rooms and thermal baths to boost circulation and improve skin health. The Escape Together package for couples includes a private full-body massage and access to all baths.
