German Spas

With its fresh alpine air, spectacular scenery and ancient spa towns, the country has always been synonymous with better health and wellbeing, but perhaps only the spa aficionado will know that it also plays host to a wide variety of world-class wellness solutions, medical spas and authentic Ayurveda retreats.

There's the elegant Villa Stephanie, which sits in the foothills of the Black Forest in the spa town of Baden-Baden and houses a space-age medical clinic overseen by the expert, (and Healing Holidays favourite), Dr Harry König, or Ayurveda Parkschlosschen, which offers Ayurvedic healing comparable to anything found in India or Sri Lanka.

For lovers of detox there is the luxurious and quietly stylish Lanserhof Tegernsee, whose medically-supervised Mayr Cure programmes will energise and reset your body and mind by deep-cleansing your gut, while for those who are travelling with their family we have Schloss Elmau, which offers spacious accommodation, two dedicated family spas, and a whole host of different activities for children of all ages.

So if you are looking to get your health in serious check, then it simply has to be Germany.
