You Can Have the Ultimate All-Girl Wellness Vacation Party

Feeling a bit jaded?

Treat yourself to a fantastic all-girl break and let yourself be mollycoddled. There’s so much to choose from out here!

Let yourself be pampered. What could be more pleasant than a relaxing massage with essential oils, a soothing orange-infused Cleopatra bath or a hydromassage using sound waves and light therapy? This combination of harmony and tranquility can be found in the Moravian spa town of Luhačovice. An indulgent break can also be booked in Poděbrady, where you can wind down with some underwater massage in specially designed baths, and in Třeboň, where you can immerse yourself in the appealing world of peat baths and wraps. The Tree of Life resort in Lázně Bělohrad is the place to head for some real luxury. Procedures involving caviar, chocolate and 24-karat gold will have you in seventh heaven. Treat your body to the best and try one of the detox programs on offer. Over the course of several procedures your body will be cleansed and rejuvenated and re-energized, its natural beauty restored. There’s also a lot to choose from at the Carlsbad Clinic in Karlovy Vary. At the Magic Charm salon you can undergo amazing cell therapy, recommended by the fashionable ladies of Paris.

The Perfect Gift for Any Woman

Give the woman in your life the gift of beauty and relaxation! A special beauty break is the perfect gift for any woman! Paraffin wraps for the hands, lifting wraps and special bubble-filled baths are treats for women of any age. In the town of Mariánské Lázně just lie back and enjoy anti-cellulite caffeine wraps, Ayurveda and laser skin treatments that produce a markedly younger look to the complexion.

Return from Prague More Attractive Than When You Left Home

What’s the best way of enjoying a holiday in “Golden Prague”? After your tour of the historical center you can treat your fatigued frame to some top-notch pampering at your hotel. For instance, try coffee peeling at the Le Palais or unwind in the magnificent mosaic pool at the Boscolo Prague. How about taking home considerably younger-looking skin from a stay in Prague? At the Alchymist Hotel you can choose from a wide selection of unique cosmetic procedures inspired by various Indonesian rituals. The Four Seasons Hotel also offers premier care such as massage using sea salt and thermal mud, which can help in the removal of cellulite. The wellness center at the Mandarin Oriental hotel is a true oasis of rest and relaxation where you can select from many deluxe spa packages.

Relaxing Massage and Exotic Rituals

Perfect moments of rest and relaxation for body and soul aren’t just available in Prague and the Czech spa towns. A girlie break is also possible at Galatea in Mladá Boleslav. This could include pleasant back and neck massage, cosmetic procedures and makeup sessions, a private sauna and a whirlpool, as well as enjoyable evenings involving bottles of Moravian wine. Fancy having your makeup done like a film star? Then be sure to enroll at the cosmetics school and other wellness programs at the Svatá Kateřina resort in Počátky in the Vysočina Region. Unusual treatments from the Pacific island of Fiji are available at the Lanterna Hotel in Velké Karlovice – these exotic rituals include massage using sea shells and peeling using sugar beet.
