You've been counting down to The Big Day since the moment you laid eyes on the engagement ring. Suddenly, it's almost here, and you're about to lose it if you have to look at one more flower, table linen or place setting. You'd be really down with some down time. Luckily, a luxurious spa day is also the perfect way to celebrate with your bridesmaids. Check out these five spots for a bachelorette party that will provide unparalleled unwinding. It's way better than nursing a hangover after a night at Asia SF.

Each of these beauty sanctuaries accepts parties with a reservation, and most allow food, drinks, balloons, etc.—whatever you need to make your day special.
