New York
Sky-high hammams over Central Park and geothermal pools on a former military base in the harbour.
From hammams thirty floors above Central Park to thermal pools built into Colonial-era barracks in the harbour, New York offers a spa spectrum unmatched anywhere on earth.
Global brands — Aman, Mandarin Oriental, Guerlain, La Mer — sit alongside independent sanctuaries like Shibui and AIRE, each layering a distinctly New York edge onto much older wellness rituals.
