Summer may be coming to a close, however there is still plenty of time to escape for a few nights to relax, recharge and reflect.

One California resort to consider is the Montage Beverly Hills in the heart of 90210. A Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean-style resort with 201 rooms, including 55-suites; this resort offers luxury throughout and is close to Rodeo Drive.

Montage Beverly Hills offers wonderful dining options with an extensive wine list including the Napa wineries of Darioush and also Shafer as well as Donatiello from the Russian River Valley.

Sometimes a one day getaway can seem longer when it's relaxing and nurturing and 'A Day of Indulgence' may be just what you need (especially if you're getting the kids ready to go back to school or have been working multiple projects over the summer).

For $225 per guest, A Day of Indulgence at Montage Beverly Hills includes:

- Full-day access to Spa Montage facilities
- A 60-minute massage or facial of your choice
- Personalized fitness class in one of the private movement studios
- Poolside lunch at The Conservatory Grill
- Access to the rooftop pool at Montage Beverly Hills (a great spot with amazing views of the Hollywood Hills)
Note: Offered Monday-Thursday through 12/30/10.

And, when you need a bit more relaxation and rejuvenation therapy, then the Overnight Spa Escape includes:

- Accommodations for one-night at Montage Beverly Hills
- Two 60-minute spa treatments of choice at Spa Montage
- Daily continental breakfast for two, served in the privacy of your own room, or at one of the restaurants of Montage Beverly Hills
- $775 per night and available through 12/30/10.

Maybe you're thinking of losing that weight once and for all, or perhaps you want to get on track with a fitness plan that works best for your body and lifestyle. Regardless of your goals, Canyon Ranch is a destination spa that can get you started.

It's officially summer and perhaps you're thinking about what you can do during this summer to enrich, engage, and enjoy your life. Kind of like camp for adults! The answer may be a destination spa. If you read my posts here, on www.MindfulAdventures.com or one of the other web or print publications, you know I'm an advocate for healthy living and wellness and destination spas offer everything you need to kickstart a healthier and more balanced life or step up where you are in an already wellness-focused lifestyle. It can also be an ideal spot for enhancing a relationship....either with yourself or with your significant other.

Miraval is one of the top destination spas in the U.S. and during the summer, there are some great promotions and new workshops that add even more value.

For instance, from July 11 - 15, Miraval is presenting Better Communication, Better Sex. Evelyn Resh CNM, MPH is Miraval's Director of Women's Health & Sexuality Counseling and is leading this fresh new approach to satisfying sex. This program is intended to help participants with obstacles such as past experiences, a negative self-image or the tendency to avoid the subject so they can leave Miraval with more confidence and self-awareness about sex to ultimately create a healthy and more satisfying intimate relationship with their partner.

In a subject that is sometimes difficult to discuss, Evelyn says "it’s a very disarming environment, there’s a lot of humor that I use to help people feel relaxed and more comfortable about the topic." And, Miraval offers a relaxing and nurturing setting that encourages participation.

Miraval is also offering three value-added promotions that save you money and they're valid through the summer (and beyond) including:

1. Stay 5-nights or longer (Deluxe room type or higher) and receive the 5-th night free promotion with a spa allowance of $130 per person per night of stay.

2. Stay a minimum of 4-nights (Deluxe room type or higher) and receive up to $500 back on the Fly-in promotion with a spa allowance of $130 per person per night of stay.

3. And if you're thinking of 3-nights or less, than the new summer promo is best. This includes an upgrade (based on availability) and a spa allowance of $195 per person per night of stay (an extra $60 per night!).

Maybe this summer you'll get to know yourself a little better and enjoy a purposeful and fun vacation.

Promotions cannot be combined. Further details can be found on www.miravalresorts.com
