The bad news: You’re beat, you have the cosmic holiday hangover from hell, and you can see nothing ahead of you but work, work, work.

The good news: It’s spa season. What better excuse to make your next vacation the tear-into-your-savings, please-take-care-of-me kind? Sure, there’s the tried and true, like Canyon Ranch, Golden Door, and Rancho La Puerta … But what about something a little more off the beaten path?

Really, don’t hold back: When the massage therapist comes calling, where would you like to be?

Island Dreams
If the whitest sand and the bluest water appeal, look no further than Como Shambhala. Located at Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos, the hotel and spa cater to A-listers who prefer to tackle mind-body problems holistically. Yoga’s high on the agenda; teachers include the best from around the world. Which should make you feel better about your chi when you’re caught spying on Demi.

Season’s Greetings
If you’re trying to land a part in the next big thing, you’ll find the people you can’t get a meeting with at the Four Seasons Hualalai, in Hawaii, which has bungalows on the beach, a Jack Nicklaus golf course, and award-winning spa and fitness facility. You might even forget your ambitions after a couples’ massage, the Hualalai hot-rock massage, or the Kalona Pohaku pedicure.

Swept Away
Las Ventanas al Paraiso, set on a white-sand beach on the Sea of Cortez, is regarded by the spa-hopping set as the creme de la creme of destination spas. (Suffice it to say the tequila’d Spring-Breakers don’t come to Cabo for this.) Services include everything from massages and wraps to energy healing and plant medicine. A word to the wise: The food is delish, but steer clear of the bread basket.

South Sea Splendor
Those who care to venture slightly farther afield should check into the Aman Spa at Amanpuri, in Thailand. The resort has special pavilions for its treatments … as if a coconut grove that meanders into the sea weren’t a soothing enough setting for reiki, ayurveda, yoga, detoxing wraps, and Thai massage.

Please, Sur, Can I Have Some More?
Not only is it gosh darn pretty, but Big Sur’s Ventana Inn & Spa, which overlooks the Pacific, offers killer services, like heart-centered healing energy therapy, which uses polarity and reiki to smooth all creases; a de-stressing facial for men; cranial massage to realign the spine; as well as yoga, tai chi, meditation, and guided hikes.

Yes, We’re Having Fun Yet
If sitting on your bum all day while having seaweed smeared on your thighs is not your gig, head to Miraval, that perennial favorite in the Arizona desert. Expect activities galore: horseback riding, mountain biking, rock climbing, tennis, golf, even vaulting — this is no snoozy spa. With so much to do, you might forget to book a facial or Thai massage. But the best perk is the easiest to swallow: Alcohol is allowed. (And breakfast and lunch are served buffet-style, so you needn’t worry about skimpy portions.)

Now where did those New Year’s resolutions go?
