 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...

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. ..
