The St. Regis Lhasa Resort

Tibet, China
The saltwater Golden Energy Bath at the St. Regis Lhasa Spa features water jets, gold tiles, and a serene ambiance.

But with views of the centuries-old Potala Palace (former home of the Dalai Lama), the Golden Energy Bath offers an experience like no other on our list.
