Extra-special spa breaks - Chodová Planá

Over the past few years, the popularity of spa breaks has absolutely rocketed as people seek stress relief, rejuvenation and a bit of pampering. However, not every spa is the same – some are more about beauty treatments, others about ambience and history, and some utilise natural thermal springs and pools. So which one to pick for a spa break? Well, it depends on precisely what you’re looking for...

Chodová Planá
Where? Czech Republic
Who for? Boys that don't particularly get the whole spa thing.
Why go? Situated at a brewery, the novel treatments at Chodová Planá involve lying in a bath of beer. Apparently beer yeast has rejuvenating properties, and the treatments improve the complexion as well as soothe muscles.
What else? After the beer bath, recipients get to lie down on a bed in a darkened room, listening to relaxing music. They're then encouraged to have a massage. And probably a pint or two.
