Historically a seven-day stay, this lifestyle transformation can be accomplished by providing a comprehensive program that includes spa services, physical fitness activities, wellness education, healthful cuisine and special interest programming."

According to the Destination Spa Group, "Only a select group of Destination Spas follow the tradition of the true Destination Spa – where the total environment is dedicated to health and life enhancement. The experience is transforming – a full immersion into healthy and joyous living. Guests come for the structured and personalized programs that blend fitness activities, healthy cuisine, wellness education, discovery classes, relaxation and renewal. Guests leave enriched for life."
