The Virtues of A Spa Break

Spa holidays

For thousands of years humans have been discovering the benefits of hot natural springs, mud baths and mineral enriched waters on the body.

Water is the main element of the spa concept and hydrotherapy is the key to creating a healthy and relaxing experience.

The warm water found in spas has the ability to increase blood flow around the body to damaged or sore tissues, thus stimulating the recovery process. Hydrotherapy will also aid your recovery after a strenuous work out. Having a long soak in a hot tub will carry away the lactic acid built up in muscles during exercise and can prevent stiffness.

Everybody encounters stress as part of normal life, many people do not realise the effect it has on the body and mind. There is no better way to relieve stress than a massage which you can enjoy in most spas delivered by specially trained masseurs. A massage will help to completely relax the body and stimulate the release of endorphins in the brain making you feel altogether better.

You can enjoy spa holidays all year round but winter is a perfect time to enjoy the benefits of the spa. Massages, body wraps and exfoliation can combine to give our skin that glowing and healthy appearance that the winter weather conditions can hamper.

Did you know?

Balneotherapy - Is the ancient use of waters to restore and revitalize the body.

Fangotherapy - Uses mud, clay and peat for healing purposes and helps with detoxification, blood circulation and pain relief.

Thalassotherapy - Derived from the Greek word thalassos, meaning "sea", thalassotherapy involves the use of sea water as a natural treatment for the skin. A Vichy shower is a sea water shower, but the treatments can also involve a seaweed bath, or the use of sea mud on the skin.

Many people want to book spa holidays but are unsure of what their break will include. ActivityBreaks clearly displays which treatments are included in your break, most spa holidays include a Thermal Circuit. A thermal circuit allows you access to the spa area of your hotel where you will work your way around the facilities, comprising sensational showers, hydro-massage jets, steam baths, sauna and plunge pool.

Once you have experienced the spa area you may wish to have a treatment, each treatment varies in price and length depending on
your resort and your choice of treatment.

We have a huge range of spa holidays and weekend spa breaks to suit all budgets and there's no better way to beat the winter blues!

So this winter why not escape the cold and enjoy some relaxation instead!
