Resorts across Europe can offer some of the best spa days imaginable.

Anyone hoping to stumble across a deal for cheap spa breaks online should carry on reading for inspiration as we profile eight of the best from all around the continent.

Cornelia Diamond, Turkey

There’s a distinctly global feel about the Crassula spa at the Cornelia Diamond, yet it’s also charmingly Turkish at the same time.

Meditate to music, sit back and relax in the tropical Jacuzzi, take in a Russian sauna or perhaps partake in the wine therapy programmeoffered here.

Spaciomm, Spain

Sip a vitamin-revitalizing cocktail in this ultra-modern Barcelona hotel and spa before being wrapped in mud and receiving a hydrating massage in a bath of petals.

This is just one of the heavenly ‘rituals’you can savour at Spaciomm.

Vigilius, Italy

“The luxury of simplicity” is how the five-star Vigilius promotes itself and they certainly get the basics and so much more absolutely spot on.

The spring water pool, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows, gives the impression that you’re swimming outside, while you can also enjoy authentic treatments devised by the Romans.

Hotel Imperial, Czech Republic

The Imperial is a wellness centre that specialises in balneology, the treatment of diseases and irritations through bathing.

Temperatures of the warm springs range from between 30-72°C and drinking the water here is proven to have a positive impact on digestion and metabolism.

Terme di Saturnia, Italy

With the emphasis on five key components – hydrotherapy, beauty, stress management, diet and fitness – Terme di Saturnia can enrich your body and mind in all manner of ways.

Rock pools, waterfalls and beautiful old Roman baths make this spa an oasis of calm.

St David’s Hotel & Spa, Wales

Perched on the waterfront of the revamped Cardiff Bay, St David’s boasts one of the UK’s leading spa facilities.

As well as the usual treatments, the newly-installed floatation tank allows guests to experience a weightless tranquillity and you’ll emerge from the water relaxed and completely re-energized.

SHA Wellness Centre, Spain

The thought process behind SHA is to offer healthy and therapeutic cuisine along with a healthy serving of holistic relaxation treatments.

A warm whirlpool and giant rooftop infinity pool are among the eye-catching facilities here.

Bedruthan Steps, England

Cornwall’s hotel of the year has outstanding views of the surrounding coastline and offers value for money as well as a memorable vista.
