Maui may be one of the most popular of the Hawaiian Islands but you can still find peaceful pockets that allow for some highly sought-after solitude and reflection. Trek on the less popular trails to have the mountains to yourself, visit the Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm or escape the light pollution by stargazing on the remote Haleakalā peak. The moon and stars also play a vital role in treatments at the recently renovated Kilolani Spa at Grand Wailea Maui, A Waldorf Astoria Resort. Inspired by kaulana mahina, the Hawaiian moon calendar, the spa’s offerings are constantly evolving in accordance with the lunar phases, combining ancient Hawaiian therapies and mindfulness practices with modern techniques. This holistic approach is complemented by the oasis-like retreat of the resort itself, ensuring your moments of reflection carry through your entire getaway.

Exploring a Moroccan city like Rabat is a feast for the senses. The scent of rich spices wafts from the restaurants, colorful rugs hang in the shops while vendors in the medina bargain to earn your business. When it’s time to quiet those senses and the mind, remember that Moroccans have taken self-care seriously for centuries, especially with elaborate bathing rituals that are still used today. Treat yourself to this soothing hammam experience at Conrad Spa at Conrad Rabat Arzana, where you’ll lie down on a marble slab while being pampered from head to toe. The oceanside resort’s spa also offers several other treatments focused on relaxation, aesthetics or overall wellness. No matter your choice, expect a decadent experience using locally sourced oils and products.
