Menorca Musings

A Spa Day in Menorca

The island is practically made for relaxing, what with its serene location and unsullied natural landscapes. As soon as you arrive, you’ll be put at ease by the sounds of gently crashing waves, the smell of the sea air, and the slower pace of island life. But many visitors don’t realise they can take their relaxation a step further with a trip to the local spas. If you’re looking to really treat yourself, look into a day of pampering at some of Menorca’s top wellness centres.

Gessamí – For a traditional Middle Eastern feel, this atmospheric Ciutadella spa hits the spot. Let all your worries and cares melt away in the warm Arabic baths and steam rooms while you enjoy cleansing herbal teas and top-notch skin treatments. Always been curious about chocolate treatments?
