Filed under: Spas

Many spas on the Las Vegas Strip are tucked inside the big hotels but the new ElevenSpa Vegas is a 20,000 square-foot spa located in the Town Square area on the Las Vegas Strip. The spa, which is part of a Florida-based brand of spas, has announced a partnership with celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves. Paves, perhaps best known for his friendship (and hair extension line) with Jessica Simpson will open the 'Ken Paves Salon at Eleven' and will also operate the hair salon at Eleven's Palm Beach location. The brand also has a clothing and accessories boutique and the ElevenSkin, organic skincare line.

ElevenSpa Vegas is designed to have "old Hollywood" meets a modern, chic feel. There will be a pool area with crystal chandeliers dripping into the water, 28 treatment rooms, six makeup stations, a signature brow bar, the ElevenBoutique and the ElevenSkin line. A grand opening party is planned for January 2009.

New Cool Hotels: Italy, Spain and Spas

Regular Luxist readers will already be familiar with the luxurious, oversized books put out by German publisher teNeues. Not all of their top-drawer coffee table titles are the size of actual coffee tables, however. The travel sized "Cool Hotels" series has all the appeal of the deluxe editions with the added bonus that you can actually take them with you on your journey. They've just released three new additions to the stable in time for summer: Cool Hotels Italy, Cool Hotels Spain, and Cool Hotels Spa & Wellness. At $24.95 apiece, they're considerably less expensive as well. Pictured on the cover of the Italy edition above is the incredibly chic Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amista in Verona, run by the Byblos fashion empire. See the gallery for more stylish vacation spots.

Filed under: Decor

I've seen a heart-shaped tub before but the new love tub from Dimension One Spas is a s a limited-edition, candy apple-red, $20,000, state-of-the-art Amoré Bay hot tub. The company is making just 100 of these spas which have "strategically placed" water jets, mood lighting, a "playground" area, an i-Pod friendly stereo and cup holders. The six-person spa has an eco-friendly gray exterior made out of recycled plastic milk jugs with a new black-etched Palm tree design panel in front. The company is offering one tub filled with candy hearts and the person who guesses the number of candied hearts inside wins the tub. Contestants can enter online between now and February 29, 2008 at www.d1spas.com.

It might look scary (like a body bag that was too short for the victim) but this tinfoil-like sleeping bag has a lot going on that you might want to try. It's part of the Oxygen Detox System from 02 Planet, which claims to relax you, increase energy, and slow the signs of aging by detoxing and oxygenating your body. The system provides a steam sauna, water jets for massage, oxygen misting therapy, and this infrared sauna blanket. Gotta have the incredible O2 Planet Oxygen Detox System? Lucky you, it's on sale right now for just $4,595.

Cleopatra Classic Heated Lounge Chair

This sounds just heavenly: the Cleopatra Classic Heated Lounge Chair. Cut from a single piece of high-density limestone, the entire chair emanates radiant heat for the ultimate "warmth therapy" experience. Ergonomically designed for comfort (yes, a large slab of stone can be comfortable), it can be used indoors or out and is easily cleaned just by wiping it down with a cloth. It also comes in a variety of colors, although I like the plain and natural stone pictured -- looks very "spa-like." $14,650

10 of the Strangest Spa Treatments

Posted Jun 27th 2007 9:02AM by Rigel Celeste
Filed under: Services, Spas

Bird dropping facials and snake massages may sound like something straight out of an episode of Fear Factor, but they're really part of the growing list of strange options you might have at a luxury spa near you. An ancient Japanese secret often used by Geishas and available at Diamond Hawaii Resort and Spa in Maui is a facial that starts with Nightingale excrement, which is reportedly full of enzymes that help keep the skin smooth, clear, and white. Or maybe a Hakali massage is more your style at Apuane Spa at the Four Seasons Resort Punta Minta, Mexico, where spine-free cactus paddles are used to rub in an alcohol called 'pulque,' which comes from the agave plant and is in the tequila family.

Other strange spa experiences that might trip your detox trigger include snake massages (exactly what they sound like -- snakes slithering up and down your back!), getting yourself covered head-to-toe in caviar, soaking in a huge tub of dark beer, and "cupping" -- a process where several cups are placed strategically along your back and then lit on fire to create suction.

Fear Factor or not, some of these sound awesome! (Some, not all...)

Run Around Europe In Style

Private, pre-planned European expeditions have been rather popular amongst American upper-crustians for some time, but we're now starting to see a new breed of these trips offered that allow for somewhat larger groups, in some cases up to 20 people, and head off the beaten London – Paris – Madrid path a bit.

This particular one, "Private Epicurean Journeys," focuses on you foodies out there and hits some crowd-pleasing favorites in Paris and Brussels, but also hits some hidden gems like the northwest village of Bruges which is, in my opinion, one of Belgium's best kept secrets. Rates for this one range from about $14k-$22k/person, depending on accommodations and group size.

So this spring break instead of the same old beach trip, grab your honey and 18 of your closest friends and go soak in some of that good old world charm in style!

Best Spas in India

While you can always head down to a local day spa for some last minute pampering, there is nothing like getting away from it all to relax. Far, far away to an exotic and breathtakingly beautiful place, preferably. India has more than its fair share of such locations and Forbes Traveler has picked out the top ten spas there. They include Oberoi Spa by Banyan Tree at Wildflower Hall, Shimla in the Himalayas (pictured), which features "jaw-dropping views of the Himalayas"; the Quan Spa at the JW Marriott Mumbai, where you can find a $8,500 Celebrity Makeover Package, which includes luxury treatments, a stay in the Presidential Suite and a photo shoot; and the Taj Spa at The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower.

Coldwater Creek Day Spas

Coldwater Creek, a retail store and catalog business that caters to the female baby boomer market has now expanded into day spas. WWD reports that Coldwater Creek is expecting the spa concept to eventually expand to a few hundred locations across the United States. The first spa opened near Portland, Oregon earlier this month and the next spas are planned for spots in California, Colorado and Texas this spring and summer. The spas will offer massages, facials, manicures and pedicures. They will sell third-party cosmetics but later may offer private label treatment products. The WWD article mentions that the Coldwater Creek demographic, women in their early forties with a household income in excess of $75,000, is also the biggest day spa demographic.
