If you want to de-stress without the woo-woo factor, consider Lake Austin. “A clinical psychologist oversees the mind-body programs here,” says judge Alice Domar, PhD, who loves that solid research backs the spa’s offerings, which range from a variety of yoga classes to meditation and qigong (a set of Chinese breathing and movement exercises). In the mind-body-program category, Lake Austin gets the highest score of any on our list. It also racks up points for its fitness options, including sculling, kayaking, and dance classes. Plus, it’s perfect for control freaks who want to take charge and do their own things—though there’s plenty of guidance for those who want it.
Don’t miss: The class on how to make herbal remedies, using bounty from the spa’s organic gardens.
Cost: $4,335 per week, per person, double occupancy, all-inclusive. Three nights start at $1,455, not including spa services
