London Eye Capsule in the Sky

London Eye Capsule in The Sky–vitalmag trend magazine

London is full of unusual accommodation and interesting places to stay. The London Eye offered a special attraction to its visitors. The Eye capsule was turned into a tropical bedroom for 2 overnight guests, which was held as a competition. The capsule stopped at the top at a height of 443ft (135m), so guests were able to join the best view over London. The decoration had included luxury furnishings, a bed and a dresser, live plants, a tropical green printed ceiling, and a hanging birdcage.

However, there was no toilet in the capsule. If the people needed to use the facilities they had to radio to the ground to be brought down.

Cosy Winter Getaways Cottages and Lodges

Say what you want about summer vacation, but for me winter holidays are the most exciting part of the whole entire year. After all, in the summer I am usually already pretty relaxed. Even if I have to work, there is plenty to do in my off time. I can go swimming, hiking, camping, and even play sports. In the winter, however, the weather is awful all the time. It is cold, dark, wet, and miserable. A winter holiday is the best way to unwind from all of this. It is the best way to make the winter bearable.

Cosy Winter Getaways Cottages and Lodges2

Most people have a type of winter vacation that they prefer. Nowadays, the most popular winter holidays seem to involve traveling to a warm destination. Going to Hawaii, Maui, or some other tropical paradise is a great way to let go of those winter blues. On the other hand, a lot of people would rather take a ski trip. Rather than looking at the winter holidays as a time to escape the cold, dark weather, they find ways to enjoy it. Going to a ski lodge can be great recreation, and everyone enjoys relaxing by the fire with a warm cup of cocoa in the evening. After all, skiing is quite a thrill!

If you are a couple looking for a more relaxing retreat from the work-a-day world, consider running away to beautiful Mazatlan on the pacific coast. While this friendly city embraces tourism and has many fine resorts, restaurants, and activities available, Mazatlan could survive without it, which means the area has less “hype” and allows you to enjoy the city without feeling the pressure that being a tourist sometimes creates. In fact, there are many successful industries based here, such as a large commercial fishing fleet and the local brewery, which produces Pacifico Beer. All of this translates to a more laid back atmosphere and a quieter tourist scene. The food here, especially the seafood is excellent with many restaurants located right on the beach. Perfect for watching sunsets with the one you love.

If you are looking for more “action” on your romantic getaway, Cabo San Lucas is well known as a party town and can provide nonstop excitement. Located at the tip of the Baja peninsula, Cabo is Sammy Hagar’s adopted home and boasts Sammy’s own club, Cabo Wabo. There are many other places to sample libations and dance the night away, but don’t worry, there are also many quiet, romantic spots to dine at while watching the glorious sunset. Daytime activities, such as horseback riding and snorkeling, can also be a great time for just the two of you to enjoy together.

I found many, many yoga and meditation retreats so I will just try to tell you about the ones that stand out. I encourage you to do your own search….

Pancha Mama
Pancha Mama means Mother Earth in Spanish and if you are a time-warped hippie that had a go around with communes this is gonna ring your bell. Pancho Mama is referred to as a Spiritual Eco Village. The fees are extremely reasonable, if I read their fee chart correctly. A number is listed with no digits behind it so I am relatively sure these are the rates. For a tent it is $12.00 for a single and $20.00 for a double. For a House it is $28 for a single and $50 for a double.

Costa Rica-Spas and Retreats-pachamama-jungle-river-lodge

The buildings are beautiful and in harmony the ocean and jungle that surround it. Her rates run from $125 – $200.

Tree Houses Hotel
I didn’t see any ads for yoga or massage but I did see info on the Hot Springs. That’s gotta be healthy. So, here is another unusual way to spend your holiday…. in a tree house. Mind you, these tree houses have full bathrooms with tubs and they have Air Conditioning. You have got to at least visit the website, the rooms are very cool. The rates run $75 -$85 per night.

Costa Rica Quilting Retreat
I can’t imagine making quilts in the jungle, but if there are any enthusiasts out there, this is your lucky day. Bungalows are offered in a private gated community. The Main building has a swimming pool and they have BBQ’s out by the pool. The fee for this is $925 for the B&B arrangement in the main house, or you can pay $950 for a cottage. With only the $25 extra for the cottage, I would take the cottage in Conclusion.

I have found that most of the spas or retreats are very spendy, and atmosphere is the largest offering. They do many weddings in Costa Rica and the luxury Hotel/Spa experience is the fancy pampering newlyweds enjoy. I have listed retreats that are a bit less expensive and more individualized than the normal offering.

Amazing Bathroom Retreats

Bathroom Retreats-vitalmag0

According to bathroom designers, the home spa is a few notches above the regular bathroom. The accessories used in a home spa, such as a shower, a bath tub etc are all more “evolved”. For example, the bath tub in a home spa is extra long, extra deep, and comes with multiple jets or bubble. The shower has more than one shower head and additional fixtures that offer hydro-massage and cascading sensations. In all, the home spa is a great private escape that is not just luxurious but also unique and with your own individual aesthetics and artistic touches.

Bathroom Retreats-vitalmag9

Imagine sinking into a warm and inviting bath in your personal massage bathtub after a particularly long, hard day’s of work. Bliss! And with the jets massaging your neck, shoulders, and feet – don’t you feel like you are in heaven? Create a highly relaxing ambience by playing soft, soothing music in the background, a glass of wine in hand, and maybe a book before you settle in for a long massage bath. Life can’t get better than this my friends!
