Mukul Beach, Golf & Spa, Nicaragua

This serene retreat on the Western coast of Nicaragua is all about feng shui and positive energy.

And, if that's not enough to bliss you out, there's a wellness menu that offers guests aromatherapy, ambient music, healthy treats and reinvigorating elixirs.

MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV

Stayed up until dawn club hopping with celebs, gambling your life savings and guzzling free-flowing booze? That is, if you even remember last night… Partiers who book a Stay Well room at the MGM Grand can quickly bounce back from their Sin City shenanigans thanks to health boosting (hangover curing?) amenities like vitamin C-infused showers, dawn simulation, air purification systems and energizing lights, all designed by Deepak Chopra and the Cleveland Clinic. With a recovery team like this, no one will ever know what happened in Vegas.

Post Hotel & Spa, Lake Louise, Canada

Do you strive to be the next Michelle Kwan, but instead look like a one-man production of Drunk Gumby on Ice? Well, at the Post Hotel & Spa you can practice your triple axel (or maybe just work on not eating it) on the private outdoor rink, just outside the lobby doors. Ready to call it quits? Cozy up by the fire for free tea and coffee service, or better yet, select a bottle from the hotel’s expansive wine list for an après-skate treat.

Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa, Santa Fe

We know it's cliché but who can resist riding along the Californian coast in a Porsche convertible? If you don't have $200,000 to spare, the Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., has three models available for guests to take for spins anywhere for up to four hours. It's a motorhead's dream come true.

For extreme oenophiles, the hotel's knowledgeable sommelier Allyson Gorsuch will customize selections from the Michelin-starred restaurant's reserve list and leave the bottles and a detailed note about each one in your room. Salud.

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, CA

With five expert marine biologists on staff, the Eco-Adventure Center at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel will blow any other kids club out of the water. Whale watching, coastal hikes, snorkeling excursions and surfing expeditions keep the little ones occupied while mom and dad enjoy more, ahem, adult-friendly activities (a couples beach stone massage, say, or an espresso detox scrub).

Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, Mexico

Sipping a cold cerveza poolside is just what we have in mind when we think of a seaside Mexican escape. But the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita ups the alcohol ante with a new signature ale exclusive to the hotel and made by Guadalajara-based brewery Cervecería Minerva. It's got a bad-ass label of a gold skull in honor of Dia de los Muertos and a smooth bittery taste. We recommend you order one at the hotel's new Shack Bar and hop on one of the beachfront floating day beds.

Tribeca Grand Hotel, NYC

You'll never guess where we found Nemo – here's a hint, it's not Sydney, Australia. At the Tribeca Grand Hotel, in New York, guests can request a goldfish to take to their room and accompany them home. Yes, it may be one of the weirdest amenities around, but that's why we love it.
