Spas and Spa Breaks in Europe

Spa breaks in Europe from Spabreak Direct.

Spa culture is a very European thing. Sometimes called ‘wellness’, it’s very much a part of everyday life. So, it’s no surprise that the quality of spa breaks in Europe is incredible.

From outside saunas in Norway and hot tubs in Finland, to Cypriot mountain-top retreats, there are so many ways you could relax on European spa days.

Some of the spas Europe is famous for are centuries old. The Italians have enjoyed bathing since before Roman times and they have spas of exceptional quality. Take a break in an Italian spa and you’re in for a treat: There’s likely to be huge outdoor thermal pools to soak in, as well as full fitness suites.

Still, for real relaxation it’s best to book a massage. There’s no better way to wind down, relieve stress and calm both your body and mind. However, to combine activity with quality down-time you should look for an award-winning spa on the Dubrovnik Riviera. Here you‘ll have a fitness centre and a climbing wall to try.

With the activity over you’ll get to soak up the Mediterranean rays before settling in for some serious spa treatments.

Spa breaks in Europe will always be about the new locations. Look for infinity pools, balcony views and sun terraces to laze around on for the perfect European break.

Overlook the Mediterranean from your Cypriot retreat before sampling the traditional Greek ‘thermae’ facilities - there are 27 private pampering rooms and Greco-Roman bathing rituals to try.

Complete your spa break with a beauty treatment or share a stroll in the calm moonlit air. European spa breaks really help to finish your holiday in style.
