Winter has well and truly set in, and we all need a little rejuvenating to get us through to spring. With Christmas indulgence on the horizon, maybe something healthy and relaxing would be good to look forward to. Below are some options to inspire and tempt you, so phone a friend, make a plan, and indulge yourself!
Rome, Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria
The luxurious Cavalieri sits upon a hill-top amidst lush acres of green space, about half an hour free shuttle bus from the highlights of central Rome. Opulent interiors, a museum quality art collection, fine dining and top-notch service, this is one of Rome’s top hotels. The Ancient Rome themed Grand Spa Club covers 25,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor pools, Turkish baths and saunas, treatment rooms and fitness facilities – you’ll be impressed! Redefining luxury, pure indulgence, a 3-night package for 2 adults in February from £665 per person, including flights, transfers and a deluxe room on a B&B basis.

The Body Holiday, Le Sport, St Lucia
The ultimate Caribbean destination for some serious R&R? I’ve been there twice (just to make sure), and yes, it’s amazing! Personal service, incredible variety of sports and entertainment, the delights of all-inclusive living, and a treatment a day included in the price – you’ll have trouble fitting everything in. But it’s certainly fun to try. Set on the north-west tip of lush and mountainous St Lucia, the sunsets are to die for, and with everything included you’ll never get bored. Highly recommended!
Seven nights of indulgence on an All-Inclusive basis, with flights and transfers, will cost you from £3800 per person, based on 2 people sharing in February. Well worth it…

Family going skiing? You’re not interested, but don’t want to miss out? This just might be the solution. Wengen is a world class ski resort, set in magnificent mountain scenery, with the world-famous Eiger and Jungfrau providing a stunning back-drop to your holiday. So while the family enjoy themselves on the slopes, head for the Jungfrau Spa, and indulge yourself in the large indoor pool, sauna, whirlpool, steam-bath and solarium. Massage and beauty treatments are all available locally. And you’re not confined to the spa – the beautiful town of Wengen awaits, with ice-skating, scenic helicopter flights, mountain restaurants aplenty, and a host of other activities!
