Does anything sound more blissful than spending a week being pampered? Yep: Spending that week at a destination spa that’s as gentle on the planet as it is you. Ahhh. If you’ve always dreamed of taking a spa vacation—as 48% of you said you do but never have, in a recent Prevention.com poll—we’ve got you covered. Your skin and your health will thank you for it. And yes, you so deserve this.

Hows this for relaxing? Picture yourself bathing in a private outdoor veranda looking over the maritime forests, while listening to the sounds of the wetlands. True to the setting, the spa incorporates the region’s most notable natural ingredients, such as Carolina Lowcountry mud and locally-sourced essential oils, in their wide selection of treatments.

Home cooked meals and the scent of 40,000 roses grown on the property are just two of the ways you'll be pampered at the Green Valley Spa. In addition to one of the best hiking programs you'll find, the spa offers treatments ranging from traditional therapeutic massages to alternative treatments, such as hydrotherapy, vibrational medicine, and detox treatments.
