A weekend spa trip is one of life’s luxuries - but the prices in the UK can leave you feeling less than relaxed. Luckily, there is a workaround for this - many places in Europe offer gorgeous spa escapes for a fraction of the prices in the UK. The travel experts at Wizz Air have researched the locations with the highest ratio of spas to tourists annually; they have uncovered the top city where you can enjoy a relaxing weekend away and a spa trip for less than the price of the same thing in England.
Known as the capital of the Alps, Grenoble, France , peaked as the top destination for a spa break. With 30 on offer, the city had the highest ratio of tourists to spas at 1.23 per 10,000 tourists.
There’s more to Grenoble than just spas, though - this stunning alpine city is perfect for a spring holiday. As the wildflowers begin to break through the winter frost, there’s plenty to explore, and Grenoble also boasts more than 60 markets to browse on a bright sunny day. If you don’t fancy a walk, why not hop on a bike and cycle to see the sights? Grenoble Alpes is a fantastic destination for cycling fans: there’s no risk of getting bored with the 350km cycle paths.
You’ll soon be whizzing past the diverse scenery at your own pace, from the town to the mountains, countryside, and forest. Wizz Air offers flights from London to Grenoble, with prices starting from just £36 per return trip per passenger. Room rates for the best-rated spa hotel, Château de la Commanderie, ra.
