What's the Damage?

What started out as a sober, 15-day tour d'amour descended into an, ahem, Bacchalian black hole, replete with 300 euro bar tabs. I drank and scoffed so copiously that the local pâtissiers actually took to calling out my name as I walked by. So I returned from Paris with a sated heart and a pounding head. Oh, and a waist that was, like me, now pushing 30.

Judging from yet another long weekend of delicious gluttony, it looks like the new hubby isn't too willing to shake me (or himself) out of the post-honeymoon wine and cheese haze. So it's time to go it alone. But what I need is an expert, body-blitzing, habit-breaking experience that won't break the Paris-recovering bank account...

For a long-haul haven, Alila Manggis Bali are big on supreme service, with Tai Chi and treatments thrown in, and packages starting at $295 for three nights. A little closer to home is the newly opened Vaha Spa in Cyprus - think morning yoga and detox treatments set around a fragrant lemon orchard, at about £670 for seven nights, all inclusive. And if you'd rather bask in the Andalusian countryside with the gifted Kalmayoga team, they do cracking week-long retreats from £600 per person.

Soooo... Bali, Cyprus or Spain? Who knew this would be so hard? I'll have to spin a bottle, I fear. And Lord knows I'm not short on empties.
