Hotels with Spa and gastro touch where you can escape for a weekend to disconnect and get away from everything (and everyone)

If you live in Madrid or anywhere where the thermostat is currently over 30 degrees, condolences are guaranteed. If you spend the day imagining what it would be like to run away without looking back from the asphalt, the heat wave and basically your life, you are, dear reader, in the right place. If you can’t take it anymore…

We have compiled the infallible list of spa hotels where you can become the teacher of the three maxims of wellbeing: take care of yourself, forget about problems and enjoy two (or more) days of disconnection, alone or accompanied, to return to the office with a happy face. If your dark circles are already a topic (half taboo) and worrying, read on… but above all, escape!

Ibiza Gran Hotel and its infallible proposal for total disconnection

An experience that does not lack detail.
