Yasuragi Hasseludden is a hotel and SPA in Stockholm. Situated close to the city but yet in the archipelago with a fantastic view it's a must to visit when you're in Stockholm. They are working intensely with sustainability issues, from leadership to organic food and products. For example; the house-keeping department only uses eco-labelled cleaning products and recently the restaurant started with Meat Free Mondays. Why not try their body-peel with green tea and jasmin or a bambu-massage?

Eco Sense Salong is a SPA in Stocholm that specializes in organic skincare. They offer all the treatments you can expect from a SPA using products from Dermanord, Lakshmi and Q for skin. All of them with natural ingredients, and Lakshmi is developed according to auyrvedic principles.

How about treatments like Hot Stone Massage, C-vitamin Treatment or a Chocolate Overdose Wrapping?

Olive Organic Spa in New York is a small retreat from the busy citylife. Using Eminence Organics skincare line you'll be able to try the Red carpet Ready Facial or a Mimosa Age Defying Body Treatment to name a few.

You can find Panpuri Organic Spa in Bangkok, Sydney and Madrid. Now, this is pure luxury. Just to look at the pictures on the homepage gets you relaxed. Try the Mali Moonlight Massage or treat yourself to the 2h kombo Pan-Vimarn Touch of Paradise.

Yogi Tea

Yogi Tea comes in a lot of different flavours. They have black, red and green teas with mixes of herbes, spices and berries and they are all organic and mixed according to ayurvedic principles.
There are also versions that target specific needs, for example to give more energy, to calm you down or to help you sleep. On the bottom of each package there is a yoga pose that specifically suites that particular tea.

Green Chai is my all time favourite. It's a very mild herbal blend that smells of cardamom and cinnamon. There are also several teas with fruit flavour or lemon that are perfect for ice-tea in the summer.

In Sweden you can find Yogi Tea in health food stores and in some regular supermarkets.

Six Senses

Apart from beeing absolutely amazing resorts, their spas and hotels are something out of the ordinary when it comes to environmental issues, and they are highly involved in reducing the impact of their activities.

There is a very extensive program to try to achieve this in every possible way; from waste management to energy saving, from environmental concerns during constructions to raising awareness among staff, guests and the local community.

Apart from the smaller things, they are also involved in sustainability issues on a larger scale.

They have a fund, SERF, that is to be used primarily for social and environmental projects and initiatives in responsible development. All of the resorts and spas contribute 0,5% of their total revenue to this.

Six Senses is also dedicated to a water saving project. Half of the sales of water on their resorts are invested in organisations that helps to provide clean water for people around the world who doesn't have access to that.

In 2008 they started a symposium called Slow Life. The hope for this is that politicians, philosophers and influential people, sharing insights and making connections, can make way for a better and more sustainable future. Some of the speakers on the 2011 symposium were; Daryl Hannah, President Mohamed Nasheed and Richard Branson.
