Minutes from the shore, miles from stress

My idea of stress relief? Amelia Island's Watsu pool.

Watsu,a one-on-one aquatic body massage, combines gentle stretches with slow, steady acupressure. Amelia Island SpaAmelia Island Spa

It's an oddly comforting dance. My therapist and I both wore swimsuits, and I rested my head on her shoulder, my body floating free while she led me through a series of gentle movements.

Watsu therapy at Amelia Island Inn and Spa is like having your very own guru who has a direct line to tranquility.

Fringe Benefits

The Inn is a 249-room luxury hotel with all rooms facing the ocean.

Express your outdoorsy side and sign up for some of Amelia Island ShorelineAmelia Island Shorelinethe on-site programs (Bird Watching 101 or the Crab Grab) or watch dolphins from your patio while sipping your first coffee of the day.

If you're more hedonist than naturalist, head to the lakeside shops for some upscale shopping therapy and gourmet dining.

    • On Chinese Earthquake Shakes Tourists in Chengdu , Steve said "Although the initial concerns are warranted, travelers should not intentionally avoid Chengdu. I am currently living in Chengdu and was here for the earthquake. Although some of the nearby cities suffered major damage, damage in Chengdu was very limited. I have heard reports of a building that collapsed and a couple buildings suffered minor structural damage but, by in large, tourist trips to the area will not be impeded at all. The day following the quake most stores in the city were closed but everything in Chengdu should return to normal by the weekend at the latest. It is a great city and I would encourage people not to change their travel plans. "
