In the Sultan Ahmet area of Istanbul, a “spa”-like experience consists of lying on a marble slab in a sauna while a woman pours water over your body then scrubs you from head to toe. That costs the equivalent of $50 American dollars. As far as relaxation goes, you get what you pay for. Here in Charlottesville, readers prefer a higher-end experience, which is why they choose Oasis. Get a massage, manicure, facial, and wax, and even walk out with some new bath products from the front-of-the-house shop. In second place, the Spa at Boar’s Head, which maximizes relaxation during your stay at the inn.
