Famous for its beautiful beaches, stunning landscape and rich culture, Menorca has always been a top choice for a relaxing beach holiday. But did you know that its state-of-the-art spas and treatment centres also make it the perfect place for a spa break?
With the freedom of renting your own villa, while at the same time being able to try out different spas throughout your trip – you’ll find that there is everything you need in Menorca for the ultimate spa break.
With so many different treatments offered across the many spas, it’s a good idea to do your research before you go. Here are a few of my personal favourites to get you started.
Best For a Middle Eastern Atmosphere
The beautiful Gessamí in Ciutadella has an exotic Middle Eastern feel with its steam rooms and Arabic baths. Expect a variety of aromatic herbal teas, and spa treatments which combine ancient traditions with modern beauty knowledge.
Best For State-of-the-Art Treatments
The Audax Blue Spa in Ferreries is the biggest spa in Menorca, with all the latest spa treatments and equipment. It’s well worth spending the day to complete the spa’s famous ‘spa circuit’, in which you pass through a series of hydrotherapy pools of different temperatures ranging from ice cold to steamy hot and back again. You can relax in the spa’s sauna or Jacuzzi or splash out with some divine treatments. This spa is for adults only, so if you’re taking a spa break with the kids this one isn’t for you.
Best For All Out Luxury
The Prestige Spa in Sant Lluís is a perfect place to pack a bag and spend the whole day indulging and relaxing. With its sumptuous treatments, caldarium, cold-water pools and an inviting sun terrace (ideal for relaxing on post-treatment), you’ll be in no hurry to leave. Indulge your body and mind with the spa’s range of holistic Ayurveda treatments. This spa is only for over-18s, so send the kids to the beach for the day with a responsible adult, then lie back and relax!
Best For Spa With a View
Le Petit Spa is a stunning rooftop spa in the heart of Menorca’s capital Mahón. Enjoy the soothing bubbles of the open air Jacuzzi while you take in the view of the beautiful city and the sparkling sea beyond. And don’t worry if it rains – the spa has a retractable roof for those very rare occasions!
A spa break in Menorca gives you the opportunity to combine the ultimate beach holiday with the ultimate in pampered relaxation. Mix up leisurely days spent by the pool in your rented villa with indulgent days spent receiving relaxing and rejuvenating treatments, for a holiday which will improve your wellbeing, body and mind.
