While spa vacations have always been popular, spa retreats designated specifically for a girlfriend getaway has picked up speed in the last year. Just about 3 hours from me, in Spruce Creek PA, Cara Mor Spa Retreat is the latest luxury health spa to open…but not only just for women–but private parties of women. That means you and your friends get the entire place to yourself. Talk about personalized service!

Cara Mor is tucked away in a serene setting with 3 different lodges to accommodate the needs and size of your private party. Chef Rock is your personal Chef, who’ll whip up some comfort food–whether it is organic or a midnight snack, for you and your friends. During your stay, 7 hours at the spa is split between you and your guests each day…can you imagine getting a massage or facial on your time line and not based on the spa’s availability to squeeze you in?

Cara Mor also offers fitness, has movies and books with women in mind (no Sylvester Stallone/Vin Diesel/bone breaking/gut stabbing movies here!) and has a friendly staff that provides 1:1 service.

I don’t know about you, but I sure could use some pampering and catering to, not to mention quality time with the special women in my life. Mix in a hot stone massage and facial, and it sounds like heaven (can Chef Rock make me a chocolate cake too?) Cara Mor Spa Retreat opens March 1st, visit them at www.cara-mor.com.
