Deluxe Fish Pedicure, UK and Europe

Why make do with tap water when you could take a bath in 1,000 bottles of Evian? Only in Miami! It's a bit like when Kate Moss and Johnny Depp were together and famously took a bath in champagne...only less fizzy and not half as rock 'n roll. Only those rich enough to stay in the penthouse suite of a certain super swanky hotel in South Beach can do it. According to the Mail and Now magazine, Beyonce paid top dollar for a mother and daughter Evian bath during a recent stay.
