If you're visiting Barcelona and looking for the ultimate way to relax after walking your legs off…read moreall over the city, AIRE Ancient Baths is absolutely worth every euro. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere completely transports you. The lighting, the architecture, the candles, the pools... it's an experience from start to finish. And listen, pay for the add ons. They are 100% worth it. I added the glass of wine and premium chocolates, and both were delicious. They also have unlimited hot tea and water throughout the experience, which made everything feel even more luxurious and relaxing. My absolute favorite part was the isolated jacuzzi chambers. After spending a week walking all over Spain, sitting in those hot pools felt like heaven. And don't even get me started on the salt pool. I could have floated in there for hours. Honestly, I almost did chile lol. Everything about this place feels intentional and calming. Next time I visit, I'm definitely adding one of the hot stone massages because if the baths alone were this incredible, I already know the massages are next level too. This place was everything. Easily one of the most relaxing experiences I had in Barcelona or ever. Perfect for this tired teacher on spring break.

Aire offers a 5 star spa experience in Barcelona and is open rather late for a spa. We arrived at…read more9:45pm for a 10pm service and were out the door close to 1am. We all opted for the orange massage which included a relaxing facial. The baths in the basement area were clean, and despite their rules banning affection, we still saw people making out and getting cozy in one of the pools. The 90 minute massage and facial service was a treat for less than €200, and they offer L'Occitane hair and body products in the shower. A nice added touch are their packaged, unused hairbrushes and basic toiletries to use after your service. Though we paid for a 90 minute visit, the massage and facial felt a bit shy of 1 hour. Nevertheless, we all had a relaxing time and were happy to be able to pamper ourselves while on vacation.

Metropolitan gym has made my "Barcelona life" so much better. I really love this upscale gym!…read more The facility isn't that big but it has everything... There are classes throughout the day, a spinning room, weight machines, a large free weight and stretch room, suspension cables, pool, spa, turkish bath, treadmills, etc.., etc.. Yes, everything! Oh, and there's even a beauty center for facials, and massages. BUT THE BEST PART for me was the free session with a personal trainer. He takes into consideration your age, weight, health concerns, and all other aspects of your body and then sets you up on a program. You're given a fob key to plug into all the recommended machines and the screen will instruct on seat position, amount of weights, and the number of repetitions. It's like having a personal trainer with you everyday at the gym. The staff here are all very friendly (and attractive, lol) and are very helpful. Showers are large and private. Oh, and don't forget your toiletries! Locker area is quite spacious as well. There are a few locations around Barcelona, Madrid, and other international cities and members get access too all of them. Obviously it's a little pricier than the other gyms, but IMHO it is totally worth it!

SOLID START, SOLID FINISH…read more The Asians know a lot about massage: Thailand, China, Japan and Indonesia enjoy a wealth of local knowledge on body mechanics, energy systems, and therapy. It's no great surprise then that most of my massages are from these establishments BANGKOK HEALTHY SPA does not disappoint. The receptionist immediately recognized my name and confirmed my appointment time. Another receptionist apologised profusely for the minor delay in the start of my treatment. And, without looking at the reservations book, the receptionist not only knew that I wished a very strong massage but also asked if that was the service I desired or wished to change my mind. Good, solid start. I was a bit wary of the slightly worn slippers provided and chose to keep my socks on and ignore it. There was no tea or beverage station (which is always a thoughtful touch). Anyway, how was the treatment? My therapist was a "savage". She instinctively manipulated problem areas before I could even offer guidance on areas to tackle. The therapist clearly had a gift. The massage was an expertly delivered combination of nail-biting "torture" and soothing massage with stretches. That's good. I left feeling like a million dollars. Even although the spa had closed, no-one rushed me or seemed remotely perturbed that I had taken a little time to rouse from my blissed out state. Admittedly, I was skeptical. I am always circumspect with new facilities. BHS is the real deal and is (mostly) excellent at what they do VERDICT: TWO THUMBS UP! WE WILL BE BADK

I went to a Hammam in Turkey and the receptionist explained that this was a Moroccan version. I got the rituals of the Medina package which included the traditional Hammam and a 20 or 40 minute massage. I got the 20 minute massage and wish I booked a longer one. All you need is a bathing suit and they provide slippers and a robe. When you start, you go downstairs and prep for the Hammam service by entering the wet pool and sauna rooms. You sit and relax and wait for your service. When the Hammam is done, they escorted me to the massage area and let me select which oil I wanted. I chose jasmine and it was a great experience. Finally, they let us wind down in a cushioned seated area with tea and a snack. A great relaxing time that I would do again and again.

I go for massage weekly and love my masseuse at home, so I always have high expectations! I lucked out here while staying at The Cotton House to have such an awesome masseuse so conveniently located right here at the hotel. After a couple days of nonstop walking in Barcelona, my legs and feet were so sore. The massage was a perfect way to unwind as well as work on relaxing those over-worked muscles! Anais had the right amount of pressure and such a nice rhythmic touch that I was so relaxed that I was dozing off into dreamland! Honestly I felt like I had gone to Heaven and didn't want to come back. The price was quite fair too for the excellent quality delivered. The total was 150 Euros for a total of 105-minutes of pure bliss. Gracias Anais!!!

THE PLACE (10 stars): 43rd floor with great views, I'd recommend booking around sunset so you can enjoy the indoor spa with a view, or head out to the patio for more great views. Lounge around before you get your treatment!! Amenities out the wazoo (showers, jacuzzi, steam, sauna) so you don't have to be a hotel guest to shower and take full advantage. THE SERVICE (2 stars): deep tissue massage was very underwhelming, pressure wasn't deep and the speed was like a washing machine.... fast, slow, jab, slow... kept me on my toes at least?

Kind of shocked I'm writing this review with this assessment…read more For context - I've been to spas all over the world - and visiting high end hotel spas is not new to me at all including having been to Ritz Carlton associated spas before. To start - got a same day appointment since we're staying there and wanted to start vacation right after a long plane flight. Got there, changed and waited in the relaxation room only to be notified they didn't have a therapist. No huge deal. They gave me 20% off the treatment to come back the next day. Came back the next morning. 1st surprise was that in the water treatment rooms they only have lukewarm plunge pools - not one of them is hot. I've never seen that before - usually the options are hot and cold especially when they have the machine to do an ice treatment. 2nd surprise - the massage table was probably the most uncomfortable I've ever been on - and I've had probably a few thousand massages in my life. The head rest put your neck in an awkward position and the hole was too small for your face putting really uncomfortable pressure on your face and lower jaw. 3rd - quite honestly one of the worst massages I've ever had. Really good massage therapists can sense where you have a lot of tension based on feel and they figure out what you need after the first couple of strokes. Really bad massage therapists have mechanical strokes - like an electric massage chair and have really cold energy - like they just don't want to be there. This massage was the last two. Honestly I usually wouldn't write a review except that this place is not cheap at all and so if you're going to invest your money you should have a pleasant relaxing experience. Honestly - neither of these adjectives apply here.
