Step out of the real world and into ara the Spa at Ameristar. First, you'll slip on a luxurious robe and slippers, and lock your cellphone and messenger pigeon away in a personal locker. Then, it's time to choose your relaxation experience. Take a closer look at just a few of the services this glamorous getaway has to offer:

• Massage Therapy: It should be no surprise that healing massages are a specialty, but there's more to these treatments than simple kneading. Aromatherapy add-ons with names such as "fresh," "earth," and "sun" add a new sensory dimension to the massage, and the Dream Weaver experience nourishes the scalp with a gentle stream of warmed oil.
• Body Therapy and Skin Care: Body scrubs are performed beneath a refreshing rain shower, and include seasonal treatments such as a pumpkin scrub in the fall and a Caribbean coconut treatment in the summer. Skin-targeted treatments include microdermabrasion, acne facials, and a face treatment just for men.
• ara Rituals: These signature packages draw on cleansing traditions from around the world. The Pure Bliss ritual is a five-part treatment inspired by Japanese practices and carried out with such components as a yuzu mimosa sea algae wash and hydrating wild lime silk oil. Turkish Delight draws on Eastern European bathhouses, beginning with Moroccan mint tea silt and ending with tangerine fig butter crème.
