All spas are not the same. In fact, there are many different kinds of spas, each serving different needs. At Spa Finder, we have organized spas into the following eight categories:

Destination Spa
Provides a health-renewing experience and inspires guests to healthier, more joyous living. Dedicated education programs, physical fitness activities, professionally administered spa services and healthful spa cuisine are the heart and soul of a Destination Spa program.

Resort Spa
Located on the grounds of vacation resorts. They are places where treatments for mind, body, and spirit are offered to complement such resort activities as golf, tennis, horseback riding, and water sports. Healthful spa cuisine is on the menu, but so is traditional fare and alcohol. In the evenings, guests can enjoy resort pastimes like dancing and live entertainment. Children's programs are also offered.

Wellness Spa
A special facility that addresses each guest's specific health issues. This kind of retreat welcomes guests with health problems as well as those who are interested in learning how to live healthier lives. Some Wellness Spas follow a traditional medical model while others use a holistic approach.
