Relax in the city's unique spas
- Last updated: November 5, 2024
To live in the capital city is a privilege as much as it is a challenge - there's constant stress and hurry. Fortunately, countless spas in Warsaw take care of its local clients' relaxation and regeneration. A weekend at one of Warsaw's spa hotels will recharge your batteries. For people who don't have that much time, most of those hotels also offer a few hours of pampering as part of their day spa services. Apart from hotels, you can also find countless other places that call themselves spas. We're here to tell you where to find the best massages, rituals, and other spa treatments that both your body and mind will love.
The word "spa" comes from the name of a Belgian health resort or is an acronym for Latin "sanus per aquam" - meaning "healthy by or through water". This is why, as a rule of thumb, a spa should contain a wet area with a swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, or even a bathtub, as well as a sauna. Nowadays, however, the rules around calling something a spa are pretty loose. I mean if you wanted to, could even call your self-care day at home a spa treatment, however, if you're feeling like handing yourself over to professional hands and enjoying amenities that you won't find at home, then go spoil yourself in one of Warsaw's spas.
