For many travelers, relaxing on vacation is only complete with a luxurious trip to the spa. The best experiences make your time memorable by mingling classic services with local scents, ingredients and techniques.

What's more, returning to your own multi-room, condo-like Suite at a Hilton Grand Vacations property — complete with stellar views, homey comforts and a kitchen full of your favorite foods — helps you hold onto that blissful feeling all day long.

Here are some of the most swoon-worthy spa experiences in six locations worldwide near top-notch Hilton Grand Vacations properties.

Interior pool of Hilton Odawara Resort & Spa in Japan 

1. Soak In Japanese Hot Springs

When business meetings or sightseeing wear you out, retreat to The Bay Forest Odawara, a Hilton Club about 80 miles south of Tokyo, for some pampering and relaxation. Members and Guests at The Bay Forest have access to Hilton Odawara Resort & Spa amenities.

The property's spa offers the opportunity to relax in hot baths fed by natural springs inspired by ancient Japanese rituals. Let the big city melt away while you soak in panoramic views of the Hakone Foothills.

For especially fatigued muscles, add a full-body stone massage or hydrating facial to your afternoon. You'll emerge feeling completely restored and ready for your next adventure.

After your spa day, return to your cottage at The Bay Forest Odawara, which combines a modern Japanese aesthetic with all the comforts and conveniences of home. The on-site restaurant offers afternoon tea, evening tapas and every meal in between, featuring Japanese and Western dishes. Or, use your in-Suite kitchen to enjoy home-cooked meals with local delicacies while gazing at the meditative mountain and seascapes.

2. Discover Rejuvenation In Mexico

The eforea™ Spa at Hilton Los Cabos offers the ultimate way to round out a girls getaway or family vacation to Mexico. Here, local techniques and essential oils from Mexican oregano, thyme and marjoram enhance classic Swedish and deep-tissue massages. Facials and body scrubs incorporate agave and Mexican cacao, and after-sun treatments soothe with fresh Aloe vera.

After your treatments, reunite with your travel companions in the steam room or whirlpool to debate who had the most rejuvenating session. Chances are it will be an overwhelming tie.

Afterward, the luxury continues in your private Suite at La Pacifica Los Cabos, a Hilton Club. Continue your Mexican cultural immersion with a happy hour with gorgeous views of the Sea of Cortez, fresh lime drinks and handmade guacamole.

3. Unwind On The Big Island

Kohala Spa at Hilton Waikoloa Village is a haven of tradition, relaxation and healing. Renew your skin with a body scrub that exfoliates with sea salt and fine volcanic pumice, followed by a generous slathering of coconut butter. Or recover from too much surf and sun with soothing coconut oil and an aloe vera wrap. A menu of massages incorporates traditional Hawaiian techniques and aromatherapy. Enjoy solo or as a couple.

Try a fitness class to start your spa day to maximize the restorative benefits of vacation. Get your blood flowing with a high-intensity cycling class, or slow down with meditation, tai chi or yoga.

Whether you're a family needing a pool with a slide or a couple seeking a secluded getaway, you'll find a home away from home to round out your spa experience. Choose from one of Hilton Grand Vacations' four Big Island resorts to access the spa.

4. Luxuriate In The Caribbean

Barbados is the ideal destination for a family Caribbean vacation. And the 2- and 3-Bedroom Suites at The Crane, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club make it easy to balance togetherness with plenty of space for everyone. The Crane, perched on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic, dates back to 1887. Its history is evident in the stone, white-washed walls and dark wood you'll find in your Suite and the elegant service you'll experience around the resort.

Enjoy some family fun on the tennis court or cliff-top pool complex. Calypso Kids Club will entertain younger vacationers with arts and crafts, sandcastle competitions and discovery tours while the adults take a well-deserved break. Head to the Serenity Spa for truly indulgent treatments like a Caribbean four-hand massage. The spa also offers children’s services, so kids can enjoy a manicure, pedicure or facial with you.

Outdoor pool with pyramid waterfall at Cancun Las Vegas, a Hilton Vacation Club 

5. Relax In Las Vegas

Las Vegas exemplifies “work hard, play hard,” with endless options for entertainment on and off the Las Vegas Strip. Add a trip to Infinity Massage & Spa to your itinerary for a bit of relaxation between your morning hike and your reservation at one of Las Vegas’ Michelin-starred restaurants. The spa is part of Cancun Las Vegas, a Hilton Vacation Club for easy access to the resort’s other amenities.

The spa takes Vegas’ infamous arid heat and transmutes it into a warm desert stone massage for deep-tissue relaxation. Try a facial treatment that infuses your skin with plant-based ingredients, leaving you looking luminous and ready for a night on the town. Book a couple’s massage for your honeymoon or anniversary getaway. Or experience full-body bliss with an anti-stress treatment involving exfoliation, aromatherapy and therapeutic massage.

Afterward, head to Cancun Las Vegas’ iconic pyramid waterfall, soak in the hidden hot tub or cool off in the turquoise-blue pool.

Beach along the coast of Algarve in Portugal 

6. Pamper Yourself, Portuguese-Style

The 7 Seven Spa draws inspiration from its Algarve location. In the area's centuries-old port towns and fishing villages, long-gone civilizations — like the Romans and Moors — are evident today in Portuguese culture.

You can see this mix in the spa's most distinct offering: a rejuvenation and relaxation circuit of jet pools, whirlpools, a Turkish bath, sauna, hot stones, a therapeutic experience shower and a Zen garden. After a refreshing soak, enjoy a massage that mixes pressure with gentle stretching or a soothing hot-stone experience.

Beyond the spa, the Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa has gardens, pools and waterfalls scattered across its grounds. Members who stay at Vilamoura, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club can explore the area's beaches, ruins, cathedrals and markets — then use their in-Suite kitchens to chill local drinks and make tapas.
