I was surfing looking for a pampering vacation for an retiring employee. Came across a location that offered along with the spa treatments etc speakers giving workshops on what to keep, throw away, some other topics but I don't know where it was. What I was thinking I give this person a luxury 3-4 days days with her daughter's somewhere they will be pampered, but have something to do such as listening to lectures, shopping within a short distance dress up resturants etc.
How about a weekend at La Costa? by: tripdiva - great women's vacations
There are lots of spas that have presentations, wellness classes, etc. Red Mountain Spa in Utah and Lake Austin Spa in Texas come to mind - they both have some great culinary classes to teach healthy cooking when the visitor returns home, plus other classes or seminars.
Many spas have special events along this line, too.
One that's coming up next month is the Wine,Women and Wellness Weekend at LaCosta Spa in California. This would be a great getaway for your employee. There's a keynote address about wellness and longevity, and lots of fun extras that will be a real treat.
