Think About the Location
The first step in choosing a spa holiday is location. Urban resorts provide convenience and activities, while rural retreats offer peace and immersion in nature. Consider what suits you: Wine-tasting spa breaks in Portugal’s vineyards; Fitness and spa retreats combining water sports and deep-tissue massages; Authentic Ayurveda treatments and full detox programmes to reset mind and body; The right location sets the tone for your entire wellness experience.
Who Will You Travel With?
Couples or Friends
A spa holiday for two or with friends can be the perfect chance to unwind together. Choose experiences tailored to shared interests: digital detox, fitness activities, luxury golf, or indulgent spa treatments. These retreats provide quality time and deep relaxation, far from the pressures of everyday life.
Solo Spa Holidays
Travelling alone offers the ultimate opportunity for self-care. Solo spa holidays allow you to focus entirely on your needs, whether that’s digital detox, meeting new people, or exploring local culture and cuisine. Options range from luxury city stays in Venice, beaches and hikes in Cyprus, to tennis and spa retreats in Turkey.
Consider Your Needs
Whether alone or with others, ensure your chosen spa holiday meets your goals:
- Relaxation and indulgence
- Energy, rebalancing, and stress relief
- Expertise and facilities suited to your preferred wellness activities

In one of the most beautiful locations overlooking Lake Garda, Lefay Resort & Spa is pure tranquility. Their health programmes are expertly designed to help you achieve your personal goals, whether that’s to detox, loose weight or if you simply want to relax and rejuvenate.

Alpino Atlantico, Portugal
Since opening in 2018, Alpine Atlantico has become one of the most popular ocean-front and strictly adults-only hotel with panoramic views across the Atlantic Ocean.

The Ashoka Spa offers relaxing, holistic treatments, a yoga garden and a salt-water pool to cool off in. Whether you are travelling alone or with a friend, Alpine Atlantico is a good option all year round due to it’s mild micro-climate.

This stylish and contemporary hotel is surrounded by rugged countryside in the north of Spain. It’s wonderfully rural allowing you to completely escape it all and switch off from everyday stresses. They specialise in healing thermal water therapies used from the Aguasvivas River close by. Also it’s adults-only so there won’t be any little ones running around.
Columbia Beach Resort, Cyprus
Framed by the white cliffs of Pissouri Bay, Columbia Beach Resort in Cyprus underwent a landmark renovation in 2017 (merging with it’s sister hotel next door) so there are plenty of dining options and facilities for you to enjoy.
