Are you currently planning your summer getaway? The months are flying by so it’s time to start gathering plans for the much-awaited period of warmth – well, hopefully! If you fancy a change from the usual beach holiday, why not consider a stay at a top spa resort? You’ll still get to enjoy time around the pool, but you’ll also benefit from a host of added extras!
Just imagine waking up to a morning massage, spending your afternoon in the jacuzzi and rounding off the day with a session on the sauna. It’s relaxation at its finest, and if you feel like your batteries are wearing low then perhaps one of these destinations are your next vacation…
From the fresh countryside air of the United Kingdom to pure Ibiza glamour, here are the top spa’s you seriously need to consider!
Hacienda Na Xamena, Puerto de San Miguel
If breathtaking views are what you’re after then the spa at Hacienda Na Xamena has plenty! This Ibizan-based resort and spa oozes luxury and offers a hub of relaxation away from the bright lights of San Antonio.
With a Jacuzzi built into the Cliffside overlooking stunning views of the Mediterranean, it doesn’t get much better than this. The spa offers a vast range of massages, body wraps, facials and wellness programmes for those that want to concentrate on their health and fitness.
Ibiza is a truly beautiful island, and it isn’t all about the party lifestyle, this resort just proves that!
Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa, Suffolk
If heading outside of the UK isn’t an option, then you can still have just as much fun and enjoy just as much pampering with a UK-based resort. The spa at Bedford Lodge is a real treat and offers a 5 Bubble Rated experience for guests.
Situated in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, it’s the perfect place to let your stresses float away. Head up to the spa’s rooftop hot tub with a glass of champagne, sit back and just relax!
As well as an impressive array of facilities, the spa is also an ideal destination for foodies. The spa boasts plenty of delicious light-lunch options, alternatively you can enjoy dinner in the hotels’ 2 AA rosette winning restaurant! There are plenty of options, all made using fresh local produce.
How about a touch of Italian chic? This boutique Tuscan hotel and spa is a real rustic delight, housed in a 13th-century period property with original features. The grounds themselves are just as spectacular – the free-form freshwater infinity pool is particularly impressive!
Built in natural stone, the spa building is alive with wooden beams, beautiful chandeliers and a light floral fragrance that encompasses the retreat. This hotel and spa is also pet friendly, so you can check any small four legged pooches in with you too!
Albufeira, Portugal is a popular destination for many British tourists, but this resort truly stands out from the rest. The hotel itself boasts 162 rooms, 24 garden suites and 43 resort suites all featuring a contemporary design plus all the needed amenities.
The Sayanna Wellness centre is the gem of this retreat, offering the perfect place to unwind. Whilst you’ll find your usual menu of treatments such as massage and facials there is also an extensive focus on fitness here.
Participate in high-energy aerobics classes, boot camps or enjoy a session of yoga. After all of your hard work it’s time to head to the Turkish bath before a dip in the pool. Just heavenly!
Undoubtedly one of the world’s most luxurious of hotels and spas, if you’re really looking to push the boat out then you should definitely take a look at the Royal Mansour – although be warned your credit card may just cry a little.
This really is a palace fit for a king, offering world-class service and a simply stunning retreat. Hide away from everyday life in the comfort of your own riad; enjoy the delights of the spa and the fine cuisine; and if you’re feeling adventurous there’s plenty to explore in Marrakech.
If you want to be waited on hand and foot and treated like royalty, then this is the spa for you. Luxury at its finest.
Do these resorts leave you wanting more? How could they possibly not! If it’s a pamper you need then you won’t find any finer than these beautiful retreats. You deserve a treat, right?
