After the excesses of the holidays, you've put on a few pounds and your jeans are tight? It's high time to take a little fitness cure and detoxify your body to start the year off on the right foot! But where to go for a detox cure? Here is a selection of destinations for detox cures at low prices.
Where to go for a detox cure: In Germany, stay in the world's largest health resort
You don't have to go very far to get back in line! Our German neighbours, in the heart of Bavaria and not far from Munich airport, are home to the world's largest spa resort: the Erding Thermal Baths!
With its multitude of pools, saunas and bars with your feet in the water, you won't really know where to go to relax. And that's just as well. The on-site restaurants offer diet menus with vitamin-rich juices, ideal for rebalancing the body. But in order not to spoil the benefits of the cure, you shouldn't overindulge in good Bavarian beers...
Where to go for a detox cure: In Holland, on the island of Texel, get back in shape with the sheep!
It's unlikely, yes... But on the island of Texel in Holland, a spa offers detoxifying and relaxing treatments based on sheep's wool. The island has a lot of sheep, so the idea naturally sprang from a local. It's quite effective for softening the skin, it seems... The Woolness spa has been all the rage since its creation in 2012. Once you've done your treatment, it's up to you to oxygenate yourself on the island thanks to a good walk in the middle of nature. That's what you need for a very natural detox treatment in Holland!
Where to go for a detox cure: In Hungary, take advantage of the thermal baths in Budapest
Beyond its rich cultural heritage at the crossroads of several civilizations, the Pearl of the Danube has nearly a hundred Turkish baths with hot and relaxing thermal springs. Some of them, such as the Gellert Bath, are true architectural masterpieces . At the end of your Hungarian stay, you should be in great shape.
Where to go for a detox cure: In London, a cure to boost your wellbeing
The COMO Metropolitan London Wellness Centre advocates an alternative approach to the traditional post-Christmas diet. Instead of a simple diet, we offer you a comprehensive care programme aimed at improving your well-being. Among the proposed treatments: an acupuncture session that will boost the body's energy flow to allow the body to regenerate, a consultation with a stress management specialist, a foot massage...
Where to go for a detox cure : In Morocco, to go for a thalasso in Agadir
Only a three-hour flight from Paris, Agadir is another favourite destination for a detox cure. Many seaside hotels offer slimming cures based on thalassotherapy treatments, not to mention the famous hammams whose scrubs are perfect for a new skin. However, you will have to pay attention to your diet and make do with the dietetic dishes proposed in the cure, as the delicious tagines and Moroccan pastries are likely to tempt you on the spot... If you break down, you should know that Agadir has a long and beautiful beach where you can always go jogging the next morning, just to make up for the excess!
Where to go for a detox cure: In Costa Rica, enjoy the benefits of volcano water
If Costa Rica is famous for its incredible biodiversity and lush forests, it is often forgotten that it is also a land of volcanoes, naturally rich in thermal waters. These sulphurous waters are concentrated mainly in the Central Valley and the Arenal region where many spas and thermal baths have been built. Often located in the heart of nature and in the open air, these baths offer a green and relaxing setting. If you add to this a few massages, detoxifying tropical fruit juices and hikes to get back into shape, the wellness cure is complete.
Where to go for detox: In India, go on a yoga retreat in Rishikesh
It is also possible to detoxify in a much more drastic way by staying in an ashram in Rishikesh. In the yoga capital of the world, you can easily find a healthy mind in a healthy body. With a low-calorie diet and daily yoga classes, you should be able to slim down and de-stress after just a few days. Although these cures are sometimes a little austere, they have the advantage of being relatively effective and are ideal for travellers who are looking for a change of scenery, but who are not too keen on comfort
Where to go for a detox cure: In France, in Chantilly, opt for a detox cure with ayurvedic massages
But if you wish to stay in France while benefiting from treatments originating from India, you can do a detox cure in Chantilly for a weekend based on ayurvedic massages and yoga sessions at the Dolce Chantilly hotel. To get back in shape, a little Nordic walking is also on the programme. Of course, we are far from the incredible change of scenery that India offers, but the Cantilian heritage and its green landscapes are also a change of scenery in their own way, and only 40 minutes from Paris.
