A Bubbly Bath
Dream Spa Treatment: Cava Ritual
Location: New York, NY

This bath full of Cava (Spanish sparkling wine) is the grown-up version of the best bubble bath ever. Cava is rich in antioxidant vitamins C and E, protecting the skin from free radical damage. After 30 minutes in the bubbly bath, you're treated to a four-handed massage (that's two masseuses working in sync) for 90 minutes. Next up, a 90-minute thermal bath that moves from an ice pool to a cold pool, to a warm pool, and finally, a hot pool. End your treatment in the steam room sipping a drink on the heated marble seats. May we suggest champagne?

Icy Hot
Dream Spa Treatment: Relaxing Massage
Location: Grindavik, Iceland

Blue Lagoon's geothermal lagoon, which has a temperature of approximately 100 degrees Fahrenheit and is said to have curing powers, is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. Here, you receive a relaxing massage with active ingredients and essential oils from the lagoon as you lay on a partly submerged water mattress. A silica mud mask is also included in the treatment. And if the Icelandic winds give you a chill, you'll be given a special water blanket to stay toasty.

Gold Digger Deluxe
Dream Spa Treatment: Gold Lift Facial
Location: Chicago, IL

The Gold Lift Facial includes a 90-minute treatment with a cleanser, light exfoliation, a customized peel and a 24k gold, collagen-infused mask, which penetrates the skin with the help of micro-current technology. The facial is supposed to minimize pores, refine skin, reduce skin spots (hyperpigmentation), target dark under eye circles, help promote blood circulation and metabolism and strengthen facial muscles to promote firmer, plumper skin. But as far as we're concerned, the biggest benefit is being able to say that you've had your face smothered in gold.

Thai Curry
Dream Spa Treatment: The Oriental Organic Journey -- Signature
Location: Bangkok, Thailand

This treatment involves a body scrub of enough yummy ingredients to want to eat. The scrub uses grated coconut, green bean, jasmine rice and coconut oil. After a hair treatment with a "specialty product" containing herbal ingredients (which we like to think of as a magical secret ingredient to justify the price), you finish with a steam and a rice milk cream massage. Yummy!

A Fishy Facial
Dream Spa Treatment: Deluxe Caviar Facial
Location: Vail, CO

Perhaps it's the thought of spreading something edible (that can cost upward of $300/ounce) on our faces, but this spa treatment seems the epitome of luxury. The treatment is said to reverse the signs of aging and increase hydration in mature skin types. In addition to marine caviar, the treatment ups the "wow" factor with the addition of vegetable "Botox" and crushed pearls.



These insanely indulgent spas are home to treatments so luxe and unbelievable, we're creating a whole new category for our list of bucket lists -- the spa treatments you've gotta try before you die. If you don't want to add at least one to your lifetime bucket list, you're not dreaming big enough.
