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.

rose petals in your bath, a personal servant to carry your towel, your
own bathrobe and sandals to keep, breathtaking bedroom views, outstanding
spa cuisine by a world-renown chef, five-star room service….imagine
heaven on earth and you are imaging a deluxe spa.
Why Go?
For a romantic break, honeymoon
or once in a lifetime holiday. To be treated like the most important person
in the world. To try the latest of everything and to catch a glimpse of
celebrities.
