Lekkakos Spa in the nearby North Shore town will help you relax, unwind and recharge.
There is nothing like a relaxing massage to help relieve the rigors of daily work and fast-paced family life. If you can also get such a massage in a relaxed, tranquil setting in the town of Wenham, which is just a short drive from Peabody, the experience is even better. This week Peabody Patch's Great Escape recommends a spa treatment at a business owned by a former Miss Massachusetts - Maria Lekkakos - at M. Lekkakos Spa, Salon and Boutique in Wenham. The offerings range from a $65 30-minute mini-massage to a 90-minute deep tissue massage for $125. Lekkakos, a Rockport native, has a beautiful business, sitting on Main Street in Wenham’s little downtown. While the offerings at M. Lekkakos range from a hair salon to a boutique, we are …

See what there is to see in your own backyard.
Most of us would love to hop on the next plane and go to Florida or a Carribean island for a tropical get away. But when it is not feasible to do that, families should head on over to Radisson Ferncroft hotel and discover an indoor water park that will make you feel like you've been transported to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. Coco Key at the Crowne Plaza in Danvers is a great stay-cation destination. Get the illusion of a great tropical get-away at a fraction of the cost. They have a huge indoor water park with private cabanas, restaurant and full bar. They are currently offering package deals to local attractions, such as Peabody Essex Museum, with the purchase of a room for a family of four; of course, the deal includes tickets to …

Cinemas and the films presented within evoke a wide range of emotions in moviegoers.
Cinemas are more than simply theaters with large screens projecting images for a live audience. To some, movies provide two hours of relaxation within a darkened room where you are able to almost exist within a fantasy film. For others, it offers a thrill and anticipation only created from an intense action flick. Still others escape reality within a cinema to simply consume and admire images of glamourous stars. Whichever reason motivates viewers to enter a theater, most audiences will exit the theater inspired by the professional actors and beautiful scenery that the small buildings somehow are able to hold within. Here are three local theaters for Patch's Great Escape, as well as locations for RedBox Rental Locations for a quick and …

What better place to stretch, breath and rejuvenate mind and body than in a cozy and warm space close to home. This week Great Escape highlights two local studios to practice yoga in a comfortable and rewarding atmosphere. Be Yoga Fit Peabody is conveniently located near several major highways and offers numerous classes and several styles of yoga.
