The luxury of the Turkish coast, Scandinavian style Jurmala and traditional Scottish pleasures – Marie Claire presents an overview of three European spa resorts.
Endless beaches, azure waters and a sea of entertainment are always a plus. But in Bodrum there is also a Six Senses Spa, which raises relaxation to the heavenly level. Every self-respecting workaholic tries to spend a vacation so that memories will warm the whole year. The Kempinski Barbaros Bay Hotel in Bodrum has everything for this. The hotel is located in a cozy harbor, and all around it is calm and quiet – and in the distance you can see the Greek coast. For those who travel by yacht, the hotel has a marina that perfectly complements the local landscape. Carefree time on the beach and in very good restaurants, which is not uncommon in seaside Turkey, is best diluted with Six Senses Spa. Massages of all styles and directions, Turkish hammam, detox programs – everything to bring disheveled feelings and shattered health in order! If you come with a large company, you can rent a part (area 500 m²). Six Senses has the only warm pool in Turkey, made specifically for Watsu massage – it simulates a state of zero gravity … The therapist slowly but surely stretches each of your muscles and presses on the active points on the body – for deep relaxation. During Watsu, the stress accumulated while sitting in the office is guaranteed to go away, and relaxation comes, which heals the joints and straightens the spine.

For those who are nostalgic about their holidays on the shores of the Gulf of Riga, we would like to inform you: Jurmala has not deteriorated, moreover, there are spa hotels in the Scandinavian style.

To remember the past, at Jurmala Spa in Majori you can take a bike and ride along the surf line to the place where the Lielupe River flows into the sea – this is the most beautiful corner in the world. Walk back through the pine forest and old Art Nouveau summer cottages and for the first time believe that fitness can be fun. If you spend the rest of the day in swimming pools (with different water temperatures) and saunas (five different types), you will not be able to reproach yourself for not taking care of yourself enough. We especially recommend the salt bath – you rub yourself with coarse sea salt and, dancing the twist, make yourself the perfect scrub and pedicure, and most importantly – remove the burden of fatigue from your feet, which always walk in heels. The rest of the muscles will be tidied up by the masseur. A room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a fish soup with whipped cream for dinner, light salted salmon and real Riga bread for breakfast … Long weekends in this genre are great for life!

The renowned The Gleneagles Hotel between Glasgow and Edinburgh is the ideal place to unwind while sampling traditional Scottish delights.
Green hills with idyllic sheep grazing on them, heather fields, mirror lakes, peace and quiet … An ideal atmosphere for complete relaxation – an hour’s drive from Edinburgh or Glasgow, in the center of the Scottish county of Perthshire. The ancient hotel The Gleneagles is famous throughout Europe for the Andrew Fairlie restaurant with two Michelin stars, a shooting and horse riding school, falconry, trout fishing, the best golf courses in England (by the way, golf was invented here – in Gleneagles there is one of the oldest clubs!), as well as the fact that in 2005 there was a meeting of the “Big Eight” in the silence of the fields. However, many come only to recuperate at the local spa.
Here they work on the products of the English brand ESPA – this is an aromatherapy line that uses only natural ingredients. Each ESPA treatment begins with a consultation with a doctor, and then you choose the oil for your massage. More precisely, your subconscious mind chooses – that smell and that set of components that your body requires at the moment. The Gleneagles SPA offers hydro-, thalasso-, phyto-, stone- and aromatherapy, detox, Ayurveda, anti-stress treatments, treatments especially for men and for pregnant women. There is a children’s pool, an adult, outdoor heated, several saunas, a steam room with menthol, an ice cave, a spa cafe with an Ayurvedic menu. Here you can spend a day, two, three and not notice how time has flown by. And then get on an SUV and drive through the nearby hills – this is a favorite (after falconry and golf) entertainment of British lords who often come here.
