Spa review | Spa 101 at the Hilton Bentley Hotel
The lowdown: Most folks flock to Bali to get away from it all. Not Spa 101 owners Iris and Patrick Van de Coevering. The married couple moved from Bali to Miami two years ago and recently opened Spa 101 on South Beach. "I wanted to bring Miami the essence of the Asian spa experience that I was fortunate enough to discover during my time operating a spa in Bali," Iris says.

The hood: Located on the fourth floor of the Hilton Bentley Hotel, Spa 101 is situated on the tip of South Beach. The friendly facility and its surrounding outdoor lounge areas overlook the ocean and stretches of sand.

The vibe: Think Miami-meets-Bali. The homey retreat is outfitted with contemporary furniture mixed with Asian accents. "I kept the ambience down to earth and unpretentious -- I want visitors to feel welcomed," Iris says. Inside, the spa houses two intimate treatment rooms and outside has roomy chairs, cabana and Jacuzzi perfect for unwinding.
