Vacations come in many shapes and forms. Sometimes we have a hankering for the wild outdoors, and sometimes all we need is to unwind in a steamy bathtub. When it comes to the latter, a luxurious spa is pretty much the way to go. Spas can be found pretty much anywhere in the world, but England is home to some truly life-changing ones. Here are some of the most relaxing spas in the United Kingdom.

Kings Head, Cirencester

If you find yourself in the city of Cirencester and have some money to spend, we highly recommend checking this place out. The King’s Head dates back to the 14th century, so the decor has an antique feel that’ll transport you back in time. That being said, it also has all the trappings of modern-day spa technology, from an infra-red sauna to a color-changing hot tub.

Thermae Bath Spa, Bath

The Thermae Bath Spa is considered by many to be one of the best places to chill out in all of England. From its multiple naturally-heated rooftop spring-fed pools to its “celestial” relaxation room, the designers really went above and beyond to make sure its customers were happy in every which way. Once you’ve cooled off in the steam room, a shiatsu massage is waiting for you as well.

Spa at One, Edinburgh

Spa at One was recently refurbished, and its customers have reaped the wonderful benefits as a result. Located smack dab in the middle of Edinburgh’s financial district, businessmen and women can let out their stress after a long corporate day’s work in the establishment’s seven saunas and steam rooms, an open-air hydro-pool, and a dark room that’s soothed by a toasty fire.
