The modern world moves at a relentless pace, and even our holidays often turn into a race for new experiences. Yet true luxury today is the ability to pause, listen to yourself, and restore your body’s natural balance. That is why more and more travellers are now choosing hotels with exceptional spa facilities — places where medicine and the philosophy of mindfulness come together in perfect harmony.
These spaces go far beyond the traditional spa concept: personalised programmes guided by doctors and specialists, treatments using uniquely formulated skincare products, and healing waters and botanical essences created from locally sourced ingredients. We have selected five spa retreats that embody the perfect balance between medicine and relaxation, luxury and mindfulness.
Euphoria Retreat
Greece, Peloponnese
Philosophy: balance of energy, emotions, and the body.
Hidden among pine forests and the ancient ruins of Mystras, Euphoria Retreat is a symphony of harmony. Byzantine-style architecture, the scent of lavender, and the soft glow of candles create an atmosphere of inner awakening. The programmes are inspired by ancient Greek philosophy and Chinese medicine — from breathing practices and yoga to personalised nutraceutical protocols. The retreat also focuses on cellular regeneration, strengthening the immune system, and improving sleep.
Highlight: bathing in a spherical pool symbolising the circle of life — an experience impossible to forget.
Palace Merano
Italy, Merano
Philosophy: detox and longevity under medical supervision.
Palace Merano is a legend of the European spa industry. Here, health is treated as the art of fine balance. The medical programme combines diagnostics, personalised nutrition, and advanced spa technology. Guests have access to rejuvenating treatments, hydrotherapy, and exclusive massages.
Highlight: personalised haute cuisine menus designed by nutritionists, paired with a medical approach of uncompromising luxury.
Chenot Espace at One&Only Portonovi
Montenegro, Bay of Kotor
Philosophy: longevity and rejuvenation on the Adriatic coast.
Surrounded by majestic mountains and the azure waters of the Adriatic, Chenot Espace is the embodiment of the Chenot philosophy in an elegant Mediterranean interpretation. Since 1970, the Chenot brand has helped thousands of people transform their lives and enhance their well-being. The centre combines medical precision with aesthetic sophistication: comprehensive diagnostic programmes, personalised treatments, and detox nutrition create a sense of total renewal.
Highlight: state-of-the-art techniques, including bioenergetic testing and cellular regeneration, set within the ambience of a Mediterranean luxury resort.
Six Senses Vana
India, Dehradun
Philosophy: spiritual healing and mindfulness.
Nestled at the foothills of the Himalayas, Six Senses Vana is a sacred space for reconnecting with oneself. Ayurveda, Tibetan medicine, and mindfulness practices merge here into a unified restoration system. Guests follow personalised schedules combining Panchakarma, yoga, meditation, and sound therapy.
Highlight: sacred rituals and profound silence that safeguard inner transformation.
Lanserhof Tegernsee
Germany, Bavaria
Philosophy: medicine of the future in the heart of the Alps.
Lanserhof Tegernsee is the benchmark of modern medical wellness. The centre brings together leading experts in preventive medicine, nutrition, and cellular rejuvenation. Its primary focus is on restoring the digestive system’s function. The programmes are based on a remarkable concept — combining cutting-edge medical technology with naturopathy, psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, and chronomedicine. Every detail is designed for complete regeneration, while the minimalist, tranquil architecture by Christoph Ingenhoven enhances the sense of serenity.
Highlight: the unique Lans Med Concept — a fusion of traditional medicine, naturopathy, and innovative technology.
