Nirvana Spa, the UK's largest award-winning spa based in Berkshire presents the ultimate experience of peace and tranquility

Half Moon, the luxury resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica, is giving spa goers the chance to try complimentary treatments and learn more about the myriad of services available at the award winning, Fern Tree, the Spa at Half Moon.

The new daily service provides 10 minute sample treatments picked from the extensive spa menu. They can include head and neck massage, mini-facial with skin analysis, meditation and breathing exercises, yoga or Thai stretches, foot bath or moisturising hand and foot scrub.

We all rush around, hectic work schedules, household chores, so taking a few hours out of your day to reward yourself shouldn't really be a luxury, more of an opportunity to revive yourself ready for the next set of challenges.

Lying in a bed of damp hay might not seem like the most relaxing way to spend an afternoon....but then I'd never thought of heading to the heart of mainland Europe for a spa break before!

The Hay Bath is just one of a range of natural spa remedies being soaked up on a daily basis, as the Austrian Tyrol makes a name for itself as the spa capital of Europe. Forget orchids and lilies floating in the Far Eastern sunset; today, you can experience the same deep relaxation and de-stress just a 90-minute flight away - by Easyjet!
