What is the best day spa in the Washington DC/Northern Va area?

I am looking for a great day spa for my husband and I to visit for our anniversary. Our budget is $700 for the both of us. Any recommendations????What is the best day spa in the Washington DC/Northern Va area?
I love the Red Door spas - there are several in the area, including one downtown. The desert stone massage is awesome. They do full and half day packages that come with lunch. Check out the website: www.reddoorspas.comWhat is the best day spa in the Washington DC/Northern Va area?
This is the top 5:Nusta, 1129 20th St., NW; 202-530-5700; www.nustaspa.com. If you are looking for a spa that has gone green, Nusta is the place for you. Its environmentally friendly interiors have made this spa one of the first of its kind. Nusta strives to provide its clients with the ultimate spa experience and they do not disappoint. Whether you like classical music during your massage or complete silence, they will create the atmosphere that helps you relax.





I Spa at the Willard InterContinental Hotel, 1401 Pennsylvania Ave., NW; 202-942-2700. Everything about the Willard is first class so it should come as no surprise that their spa services are among the best the District has to offer. I recommend The Willard Chardonnay Body Therapy. For 90 minutes and $225.00 this signature treatment uses, ';essence of Olavie Le Vin Chardonnay Grape Seed Extract with natural sugars blended with the finest oils. A sugar scrub exfoliation is performed followed by a body butter application. Body is then wrapped in a warm moist towel drenched in The Willard Chardonnay.';





The Spa at MINT, 1724 California Street, NW, 202-328-6468. During your trip to our nation's capital every Tuesday at MINT is tranquil and for just $45 you can receive a 30 minute massage or facial with an organic juice blend or smoothie. Sound refreshing?





Serenity Day Spa, 4000 Wisconsin Ave., NW, 202-362-2560. This is a chain owned by Sport %26amp; Health fitness clubs and offer both full and half day experiences.





Hela Spa, 3209 M St., Georgetown; 202-333-4445. Hela offers everything from Botox injections to laser hair removal, microdermabrasion and traditional massages and facials. And an added plus, after your treatment you can do some shopping at all of the great stores in Georgetown.





Good luck!
