UK Spa towns

A combination of a new state-of-the-art spa designed by Nicholas Grimshaw and two restored 18th century buildings will contain thermal pools, steam, massage and treatment rooms and offer bathing in natural spring water flowing at a temperature of 47 degrees centigrade. Spa towns in Britain have an enduring image of age and gentility, from Cheltenham to Droitwich, from Leamington Spa to Buxton.

Spa Towns in Britain - None Beat Bath For History
By Paul Mcindoe

Although it became fashionable for Britain's landed gentry to visit the UK's most popular spa towns during the 16th century onwards, it was the Romans that first promoted health tourism in the country almost 2,000 years ago after discovering the Celts enjoying the spa waters of Bath. Although Harrogate and Cheltenham are also renowned for their waters, the most famous of Britain's spa towns is undoubtedly Bath, whose Roman baths are designated a World Heritage site along with the rest of the city. The unique selling point that sets Bath apart from other British spa towns is that it boasts the only natural hot water spring in the country. For Romans far from the warmth of their native Mediterranean this was a major attraction and a welcome reminder of home.

It was almost 2,000 years ago the Romans decided that the hot water spring of Bath was the work of the gods and in tribute built a temple to the goddess of healing, Sulis Minerva. That temple and the alleged healing powers of the waters attracted wealthy citizens from all corners of the Roman Empire for almost 300 years as Bath became one of the original UK tourist attractions. Only when Christianity became the primary religion of the Empire in the 4th century did the temple at Aquae Sulis fall into disrepair.

Centuries later and Britain re-discovered the powers of Aquae Sulis during the 1500s, where the city again rose to prominence as a Spa tourist destination. However, the city has recently opened a luxurious 21st century version, the Thermae Bath Spa. With its unique roof-top open-air pool, here you can discover all the magic that has attracted health tourists over the centuries to the healing spa waters of Bath.

Although accommodation in Bath can be expensive and tends to attract many foreign tourists, less than 20 miles down the M5 Bristol hotels offer another alternative and choice for somewhere to stay. What's more, in only 30 minutes drive or a pleasant 20 minute train ride away, a stay in Bristol would also put you much closer to other marvellous 21st century attractions such as the brand new shopping mall of Cabot Circus and its more established sister mall at Cribbs Causeway. In addition, there is the stunning architectural attraction of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, sitting high above the Avon; one of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's finest pieces of engineering.

And then there's the nightlife. Bath may have the spa and all its Regency charm - great reasons to visit during the day - but Bristol has a buzzing nightlife that's the envy of the South West; a vibrant location where you should perhaps base yourself if you like it a little excitement in the evenings.

Experience Balinese Spa

Balinese Spa is a unique spa & dedicated to the essential experience of health, nourishment of the entire person, and the pleasure of body and spirit. With a professional spa massage of providers takes great pleasure in traveling to you & yours.

Expect a Wonderful Bali Spa Experience If You Keep to These 3 Tips
By Matt Verbaan

If you want to experience Bali, then a visit to a Bali spa should be on your list of things to do. Spas are not only popular for travelers who are looking for a moment of pampering, but many treatments have been used by the Balinese for many generations as well.




This is all part of the Balinese life too...

Of course with the arrival of tourism large numbers of spas opened their doors offering massage- and other beauty treatments ranging from half an hour, to a couple of hours to even a whole day. Spas come is a large variety, from salons with a massage table in the back to huge spa villa complexes which are more luxurious and beautifully set then the other.

You will soon discover that there is basically a 'spa' for everybody, whether it's on the beach, in a spa in town or in a 5 star resort. There is always something for every Bali traveller.

To decide which type of spa-visitor you are, here are brief descriptions of the three kinds of spas you can find on Bali.

Resort, villa and hotel spas

Resorts, villas and hotels have wonderful and professional in-house spas, some even award winning. Not surprisingly many travelers specifically choose their accommodation based on the in-house spa possibilities of as villa spa complexes such as Villa Air Bali in Seminyak, Villa Semana in Ubud and Bali Hyatt in Nusa Dua.

Besides the traditional ones, these spas usually have the newest forms of treatments such as yoga massages and crystal healing hot stones. On top of that all therapists have been professionally trained by the spa themselves to maintain high standards.

The location is often set along a beautiful river, or overlooking a valley or ocean. The small details of flowing water, flowers, scent of aroma brings everything to a level of ultimate luxury...

As expected these spas are the most expensive but this is a classic example of "getting what you are paying for". The prices are always in dollars and are in most cases about USD 100 for a 1.5 hour treatment. But don't be surprised to see a Bali spa offering treatment for USD200 as well.

Independent Spas in town

The spas that are found in town are the most diverse when it comes to quality, setting and price. As such, if you want to visit this type of spa you should try to make sure that you know what to expect.

Of course, there are many luxury and designer spas in town that offer the same 'royal' experience as the hotel, resort or villas spas. These are the spas which will amaze you with their beauty the minute you walk into the door. Naturally you can expect the same quality and price as the first type of spa mentioned earlier.

However there are many spa complexes that offer treatments for a little bit less. These are the spas that lack the modern contemporary design and little details, but still remain the open air feeling and luxury with a more traditional Balinese character.

You can expect professionally trained therapists here too, a large choice of body and other treatments ranging from $15 to $60.

But before you decide to jump on the massage table there are few things that you should check out first. First of all determine if the treatment rooms are semi-open (a view on the rice-fields, mountains or sea is of course always nice) because you wouldn't want to find your self in a dark unventilated room with the airco blowing full blast.

Additionally, if you are planning a treatment for two that ends with a flower bath, check if the bathtub will actually fit for two. I think you will agree that it's no fun if you are both sitting half out of the water...

Finally never confuse a salon with a spa. Salons are the places where you can get your haircut but in Bali they also offer body, head and foot massages too. In most cases the treatments often feel like they are improvised and you wonder if the person actually knows what he/she is doing.

Spa on the beach

This type of 'spa' only offers body and foot massages but also manicure and pedicures right on the beach. Obviously they are cheap and sometimes you even have to bargain. You won't have to worry about looking for a right spa here though; the women will approach you once you have spread your towel.

Anyway, as you can imagine, this is the most simple and basic spa experience you can have. On top of that you won't have any privacy and before you know it there will be more masseurs pinching you in hope you will pay them as well.

Either way...Happy spa-indulging!

Matt Verbaan loves to give you practical travel insights and his experiences of traveling to all parts of the wonderful island of Bali. During his travels he has been able to see and experience all types of spas, such as one in Sanur; http://www.bali-travel-life.com/sanur-spa.html
