Latin America's Passionate City
Buenos Aires is a slice of Europe in the Americas when you look at its grand Parisian boulevards, feel the Italian spirit in La Boca
and San Telmo neighborhoods, or sense the Spanish genes in the lively nightlife. But Buenos Aires also has its very own seductive soul,
and not just through its sensual tango dancing. It's a city that continues to shine through its rich arts scene and creative energy fuelled
by young contemporary designers, artists, and chefs.

Aqua Vita Medical Spa - With an emphasis on water-based treatments, this body and soul retreat in the Recoleta neighborhood offers shiatsu, Ayurvedic massages, facial and corporal treatments, a steam room and sauna, and lymphatic drainage among a number of other services to promote relaxation inside and out.
Castelar Hotel Spa - Using pure substances, this spa offers a number of original treatments. Go for the Finnish, Turkish, or Sauna bath, or the Scottish shower which uses the pressure of water to improve circulation of the blood and fight cellulite and flaccidity. Facials and body massages are also available, as is fangotherapy, electrostimulation, reflexology, and ozonetherapy.
Markus Day Spa for Men - With a Scandinavian-flavored interior, this men-only spa leaves men groomed and pampered from head to toe, including a teeth whitening service supervised by dentists. Pretty much every part of the body is catered for, from body scrubs, to acne treatments, to massages which include the "Sutra," an Indian technique to "awaken sensuality and erogenous channels."
