When you hear the terms Gay Resort or Gay Spa,
the first images that may come to mind may be of some raucous
disco-fueled pool party, or worse, some tawdry, back-alley (clothing
optional) bath house. But these days, a new wave of gay spas is
staking its claim on a gay community that, over the past several
years, has shown signs that it’s outgrowing its rebellious stage
of endless partying and finally trading-in their 5-HTP for
St. John’s
Wort . Yes, it seems the tide may be turning and the gay community
is looking to focus their attention on their inner calm, rather than
all-night raves.
Coyote Moon Health Resort & Spa is the
first of this new all-gay spa approach. Nestled in an
Arizona
mountain range, owner and former nurse Joe Studer drew form his
medical background to launch this 30 acre, eco-friendly destination
spa. His mission to invigorate all aspects of ones being - Mind,
Body, and Spirit and focus on the individual needs and aspirations
of each guest is apparent in his treatment menu. From mimosa bark
and aloe body wraps to lemongrass, bamboo and carrot oil body
scrubs―and with classes on yoga, Pilates, acupuncture and even
hypnosis sessions, a guest a Coyote Moon will no doubt find a
plethora of ways to find their center and re-align their Chi.
And best of all, with Chef Kelly Kimpton from,
world the world renowned Miraval Spa heading-up the kitchen and
creating all sorts of organic healthful cuisine, we may just find
our inner six-pack along with our inner self.
