Area Daily: Uma Spa at Tierra Atacama in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

If your bod has been through a lot of abuse this holiday season, treat it to something special.

Head to Tierra Atacama in Chile where you’ll experience the beauty of the Altiplano and the Atacama Desert. After a long day of hiking, biking, walking or four wheeling in the dry air of the desert, the steam room or Turkish bath at the hotel’s Uma Spa is fantastic, and the dry Finnish sauna wipes away stress as it warms the muscles. There’s also a full menu of massages, facials, aromatherapy, body wraps and scrubs, stone treatments, and stimulating or relaxing soaks. Or just meditate in the pretty spaces with a cup of rica rica herbal tea.

And as not everyone wants to go on an excursion every morning, opt instead for outdoor yoga or a nice walk in the beautiful surroundings. Or, as your inner peace quotient goes up, let your body sink into a living room sofa for life’s truest luxury… a nap.
