Soak away your troubles with a luxury resort in Kentucky

Kentucky resorts frequently feature relaxing spa services designed to ease your mind and cleanse your spirit. Spending a full hour on the table succumbing to the deep tissue manipulation of a trained massage therapist can wipe away the memory of even the dullest lecture on corporate brand management. Hours of painful training videos can be erased with a mud mask and aromatherapy. Any number of indulgent options exist to refresh your soul.

I recommend: KY resorts like the Griffin Gate Marriott Resort and Spa offer luxury and relaxation. The Executive Inn Rivermont features affordable packages at the Spa De Sante.

Tee off at KY resorts

If relaxing in a bathtub full of mud seems a bit 'frilly' for you, then perhaps hitting a ball with a stick is more to your liking. Many Kentucky resorts feature access to 18-hole golf courses. From novice to pro, you can engage in friendly competition on scenic courses and vent your frustrations safely. Though we don't encourage drawing your corporate trainer's face on your golf ball, we certainly aren't going to tattle.

I recommend: The Holiday Hills Resort offers golfing package at a number of local courses. The Bright Leaf Golf Resort features a number of all-inclusive golf and stay packages.

Surf the web at a resort in Kentucky

Most resorts in KY provide access to the world's greatest invention, the Internet. From the confines of your own guest room, you can play music, download movies and games, read novels, tackle challenging Sudoku puzzles and keep up with your favorite team. You can email friends or commiserate with co-workers. The world is at your fingertips through resort-provided online access.

I recommend: To find resorts in Kentucky, start your search with the Fairfield Inn Ashland and its free Internet access. The Holiday Inn University Plaza-Bowling Green also features high speed access.
