Dean Martin hit the nail on the head when he crooned, "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore." After all, the moon is often associated with base desires and fertility, and many vacation hot spots offer activities intended to fan those frisky flames. The Moonlight to Remember experience at Grand Solmar Land's End Resort & Spa in Cabo San Lucas reads like a sexy-time checklist. It kicks off with a chocolate truffle tasting and foot washing ritual. Next, a massage is done with warm butter specially formulated to elevate libidos, and then duos are swept away to an open-air cabana for more decadent bites and a bottle of Veuve Clicquot.
When the moon casts a strong enough glow, the Kuö Spa at Costa Rica Marriott Hotel San Jose offers a package with Champagne, strawberries, and a hydrotherapy treatment in an alfresco hot tub. But first, it's a coffee massage amid 30 acres of Arabica trees in the on-property plantation.
Miami's only outdoor spa, which is at The Betsy-South Beach, mixes rubdowns, strewn rose petals, music, and votives in a service that ends at midnight as clients greet a new day.
