Spas in Portugal

Looking to balance your mind, body & soul, than go to one of Portugal's many beautiful Spas.

Portugal has many different things to offer. Sights to see, things to experience, people to talk to. But there may come a point when visiting the beach just won’t do it for you anymore. This is to be expected, and it actually happens to many people. When you just need something more, perhaps it is time to do an activity that will balance your mind, body, and make you feel better than ever. The best thing that you can do now is look for a Spa.

As you’ve probably figured out by now, there are actually plenty of cities in Portugal, and each of them have some sort of entertainment. A good spa however can sometimes be difficult to find. You might actually want to arrange this before you enter Portugal so that you know which city you should be staying in.

There are naturally going to be spa retreats where you can stay and enjoy the pampering of massages, whirlpools, and even steam rooms. Typically these will require a reservation ahead of time, and if you have a good travel agent you will be able to get some of the best deals. Luckily most travel agents use the internet now, or in some cases their business is entire internet based. Because of the internet you can retrieve this information immediately, and a travel agent has access to the best prices and packaging.

Alternatively you can do your own research, but most likely you will find that there are a huge number of spas you could go to, and they all offer some amazing services. For instance one might specialize in acupuncture, and another might specialize in the elimination of heavy metals. It’s hard to tell sometimes, but in the end it is up to you to determine exactly what you need. Let’s have a look at a few of the available spas so that you have a basic idea of what you’re getting into when you choose this vacation option.

First of all we have the Marine Treatment Center in Alvor. This is a great spa that features detoxification, stress management, pools, post-natal treatment, among other things. This spa basically features everything that you could want. Note that before you try to do the detoxification treatments you should consult with your physician, especially if you have had any serious medical problems in the past. Once you enter this facility, you won’t leave without feeling like a brand new person, that’s for sure!

The Moinhos Velhos Spa in Cotifo is on the opposite end of the spectrum with it’s aromatherapy, meditation, and even yoga. This spa is great for those who are into natural remedies and want to feel better. After all, isn’t that what a vacation is all about? Feeling better? We thought so too.

These are two of the spas available in Portugal, but chances are that you will be able to find plenty more in Lisbon, the largest city in Portugal. In any case, make sure you arrange things before you arrive, because that will make your vacation much easier. Sometimes it can be difficult to make those arrangements when you arrive because so many other people would have already made their reservations. In other words it really pays to be prepared when you are going to vacation in Portugal!

There are many choices to make, and many things to see. This country has a huge tourism industry, so no matter what you want to do while you are there, you can be sure that your needs will be met and catered to. Isn’t that a great feeling?

If you are ready for the vacation of a life time, and ready to feel rejuvenated, then consider checking out one of the many spa’s in Portugal, or even check out more than one if you wish. There’s not much to lose, and a whole lot to gain!
