Pampering

What Is It?

A pampering spa nurtures the mind and body using soothing and indulgent treatments.

Treatments?

A wide range of facials, manicures, pedicures, massages, tanning, hair, grooming as well as a good range of fitness facilities such as a gym, studio and pool. Nothing is strenuous and everything is designed to make you feel nurtured.

Why Go?

If you're stressed out and in need of some tender, loving care. If you want to be gently exercised then preened and primped, slathered in oils and massaged, and finally wrapped in fluffy white towels.

Herapeutic

What Is It?

A therapeutic spa cures an ailment of the mind or body and includes thalassotherapy spas, mineral water springs and medical clinics.

Treatments?

There is a medical slant on all these treatments whether it is the minerals in the water that cure arthritis or foetal injections that bring back a bloom of youth. Pampering may not always be a priority but you can be assured that the treatments you receive are first class and often proven to be effective in clinical trials.

Why Go?

If you are physically run down or weak. If you need a cure for arthritis or dermatitis, if you are trying to quit smoking or drinking, if you are recovering from an operation, if you are looking for cosmetic surgery, or if you want to experience the current Renaissance of the European Spa.

Holistic

What Is It?

An holistic spa treats the whole body and mind to increase a sense of wellbeing.

Treatments?

Holistic treatments maintain that beauty comes from within and that your health is a reflection of your mental state. The emphasis is therefore on spiritual fitness rather than physical fitness. Expect meditation to start your day, followed by Tai Chi or Yoga and then an Ayuverdic massage with a real fruit facial. Some holistic spas offer creative workshops and group healing sessions. Food will be organic or vegetarian and there will be a ban on toxins.

Why Go?

If you are already interested in or curious about alternative therapies. If you are trying to find yourself, get in touch with nature or wanting to heal your soul after emotional upheavals.

Activity

What Is It?

An activity spa offers a wide range of fitness and sporting activities or excels in one. Includes health clubs and fitness centres.

Treatments?

You can find a spa that will cater for most activities: golf is a universal sport and common at spas around the world, horse riding is popular at America spas, cycling and trekking at European spas, and water sports at beachside resorts. Look hard enough and you can find spas that will cater to more obscure activities such as dance, martial arts or archery.

Why Go?

If you want to get fit and lose weight but find treadmills boring. If you want to develop a new sport or one that you have long-neglected. If you want to be outside and feel the blood pump around your veins. Often suitable for family holidays or couples.
