Refreshing well-being. The perfect relaxation route

Get the latest look in the company of a personal shopper, relax with treatments in one of Catalonia's finest spas, or play golf at a worldrenowned course. A getaway for mind, body and soul.  

Day 1

A spot of shopping in Platja d'Aro
Fancy a new look? Today is the perfect day to find it! Marfranc, Catalonia's leading fur retailer, offers you a personal shopper service at its very own shopping centre in the tourist region of Platja d'Aro. You'll get some free advice on the best clothes and accessories for both day-to-day and special occasion outfits.

The relaxation sanctuary
Relax at the Hotel Balneario Vichy Catalán in Caldes de Malavella - where the thermal sodium bicarbonate water surfaces at 60ºC - and enjoy the hydrotherapy treatments on offer at these fantastic springs. If you want to try something new, check out the baoding balls, pinda and volcanic rock massages. This modernist spa also provides personalised cosmetic services and therapeutic treatments such as lymphatic drainage.

Day 2

A golfing paradise
Leave stress behind and start your day, once again in Caldes de Malavella, with a bit of exercise. Time for some golf at the PGA Catalunya Resort, the best golf course in Spain according to the prestigious World Golf Awards, and the 2015 Best European Golf Resort according to the IAGTO international association. It's got something for every kind of golfer, with courses for top-class players and less demanding rounds for beginners.

Look after yourself with nature
Did you know that sage helps relax menstrual pain and minimises menopausal problems by reducing over-perspiration? Or that mastic is an effective anti-inflammatory? Head to Cassà de la Selva and discover the medicinal and culinary properties of indigenous plants in the workshops - provided by the writer Carme Bosch - describing everything you need to know about incorporating the methods into your daily life.

A delicious finish
Top off your getaway with the experimental tourism firm Camina i Esmorza, in Santa Coloma de Farners, which offers an experience into the fascinating world of bees and their danger of extinction over the last decade. A full day beginning with toast and honeys, a visit to the hives, a stroll through the grounds to see and collect honeybee plants and a menu of several honey-based dishes. An unmissable treat.
