Frequently Asked Questions

What is a destination spa?

destination spa is a resort fully dedicated to wellness, where the entire focus is on health, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Unlike a hotel with a spa, a destination spa offers a complete programme that includes treatments, fitness classes, healthy cuisine, and holistic therapies. Popular choices include destination spa retreats in Spain, Italy, and Greece, as well as long-haul options in Thailand.

How is a destination spa different from a hotel with a spa?

A hotel spa offers treatments as part of a broader hospitality experience, while a destination spa is purpose-built for wellness. At a destination spa in Europe or Asia, everything from accommodation to dining and activities is designed to support your health goals.

What can I expect at a destination spa retreat?

Expect a wide variety of services such as massages, facials, hydrotherapy, yoga, meditation, fitness classes, healthy dining, and wellness workshops. Some destination spas in Europe also include thermal waters and diagnostics, while Asian retreats often integrate mindfulness and holistic therapies

Who is a destination spa suitable for?

Destination spas are ideal for anyone seeking a focused wellness break. They cater to guests managing stress, looking to improve fitness, or simply wanting to recharge in a supportive environment. Many travellers choose solo destination spa holidays in Europe for rest and renewal.

Are destination spa retreats suitable for solo travellers?

Yes. Many guests attend solo and find the setting perfect for private treatments, quiet reflection, and optional group activities.

Where are the best destination spa retreats located?

Guest favourites include:

Destination spa retreats in Spain, Italy, and Greece are popular in Europe, while Thailand remains a top long-haul choice for immersive wellness.

How long should I stay on a destination spa retreat?

A 3–5 night spa break in Europe is perfect for a quick reset, while 7–10 night destination spa holidays abroad provide deeper benefits, more comprehensive programmes, and lasting transformation.
