A European spa vacation can be the ultimate in luxury and relaxation - or you can work your butt off (literally!) at a
weight loss boot camp.
You can enjoy a spa day at a hotel or day spa while visiting London, or spend a week at a health farm in the countryside. You'll find the most modern spa treatments in Europe, but it is also home to some of the oldest, most historic spa treatments still available, such as the Scandinavian sauna, mineral springs, and
Hamam or Turkish Bath.
Of course, Europe is also the birthplace of the
medical spa.
We've all heard about celebrities running off to Switzerland for strange injections and coming back looking 10 years younger, right? Well, combining medically prescribed beauty treatments with a luxury spa is a very European approach, one that has rapidly spread across the globe.
But you'll also find lots of traditional spa treatments such as mud wraps, body scrubs, and facials at European spas. Many use locally produced ingredients, like the wine treatments of Italy or local soil in mud treatments.
Europe has a wide variety of spas to choose from (besides med spas) as well, including
day spas, resort spasand fitness spas.
