我们检查到一些最好的水疗for a royal rub down, as well as look at some wonderful spa resorts in the Barcelona region.

Although spas and ritual bathing are more commonly associated with Scandinavian and Middle Eastern countries than Spain, in recent years – perhaps due to the city’s increasingly cosmopolitan nature and international outlook – there has been a sharp rise in the number of wellness centres setting up shop in the Catalan capital.

Great news for pleasure-seeking visitors, who can now easily combinelounging on the city’s beaches,overindulging on tapasinBarcelona’s restaurantsandexploring the local nightlife, with relaxing sessions of spa treatments, wellness therapies and health & beauty procedures.

Turkish steam rooms, Finnish saunas, flotation tanks, infinity pools and ice showers (for the brave!) are just some of the facilities visitors will find available in Barcelona’s spas, whilst you can also opt for Thai, Balinese, Hawaiian and Swedish massages in top-of-the-range treatment rooms – as well as more cutting-edge and/or exotic therapies.

As well as day spas, Barcelona has a number of spa hotels (which are also open to the general public if you can’t afford the five star accommodation prices), a handful of traditional-style Hammams, harking back to Spain’s Arabic history, and several women-only wellness centres to choose from.

In addition, if you’re willing to travel slightly further afield, you’ll also find two or three picturesque spa towns, likeCaldes de Malavella, within an hour or so from the city – great if you have time to make a day or two of it.

Overall, whether you’re here on ahen weekend, enjoying aromantic weekend awaywith a loved one, or just dead keen on spoiling yourself you should be able to find the right place and experience for you.

Caldes de Malavella Spa Town

Just over an hour away from Barcelona by train,this picturesque towncan chart its days as a rest and recuperation destination back to Roman times, and indeed it was founded by the Roman colonists after they discovered hot springs on site. It really developed though in the 1890s when two beautiful spa resorts, Balneari Prats and Vichy Catalan, were created to meet the needs of Barcelona’s burgeoning middle classes.

Balneari Prats Hotel

A lovely resort dating back to 1890, this neoclassical beauty boasts a shaded garden and naturally thermal outdoor swimming pool, as well modern amenities, a wide range of tempting health and beauty treatments… and a resident parrot. A great option if you want to get out of the city for a while.
