The owners, an American expat and his Thai wife, tailor the experience to your interests based on their insider knowledge - taking you on elephant treks, temple visits and shopping expeditions or leaving you to lounge by the pool as you wish. Only one group, family or couple can book at a time, so the house is truly a luxury hideout of your own in Southeast Asia.

Mii amo Spa - Sedona, Arizona http://www.miiamo.com This American spa can be better described as a 16-suite wellness resort because you can pursue whatever kind of 'well-balance' you are looking for - whether it's focused on losing weight, getting fit, reducing stress, reconnecting with nature, bonding with friends or kick-starting a healthier lifestyle. The three-, four- and seven-day programs include such group classes as cooking, tennis and yoga, as well as personalized services including facials, massages and psychic healing.
