Spa
Where? Belgium
Who for? Those with a sense of history.

And, more to the point, gave the world the name 'spa'. Back in the 14th century, people came from all over Europe to bathe in the town’s famous hot springs, believing that they were good for the health.
What else? Chateau des Thermes is the place to go for a spa break near where the whole thing kicked off.
