Hotel for beauty and wellness holidays
Beauty and well-being are an increasingly important motivation when choosing holidays. According to the Travel Predictions 2026 research commissioned by Booking.com, almost 80% of Travellers are willing to book a holiday dedicated to wellness, with personalized treatments and rituals designed to meet the individual needs of the skin and body.
From European thermal baths to Moroccan hammams, from Korean K-beauty traditions to wine therapy treatments in Chile, travel becomes an opportunity to take care of yourself in a more conscious way. Let's discover five destinations where beauty, relaxation and local culture meet, offering experiences suitable for those who want to regenerate during their holiday.
Antalya, Turkey
Antalya is a Mediterranean destination that combines sea, history and wellness tourism. Between the Taurus Mountains and the Turkish coast, the city has become a reference point for beauty treatments, medical wellness stays and regeneration programs in recent years.
Alongside the historic center of Kaleiçi and the ancient Roman remains, Antalya offers clinics specializing in cosmetic dentistry, hair transplants and personalized treatments, often combined with stays in resorts on the coast.
The city is also appreciated for longevity and wellness programs that include vitamin therapies, ozone therapy and platelet-rich plasma treatments, in a relaxed setting overlooking the Mediterranean.
In between treatments, in Antalya you can visit the historic port, stroll through the old town, reach the nearby waterfalls or take part in boat trips along the coast.

Budapest, Hungary
Budapest is one of the most popular European capitals for spa tourism. The city, crossed by the Danube, is known as the "spa capital" of Europe thanks to more than 100 natural springs rich in minerals.
The Széchenyi Baths are among the most famous and largest spa complexes on the continent. Here relaxation is in thermal pools, cold tubs and saunas inside a neo-baroque building that recalls the long European tradition of public baths.
After a rejuvenating break in the Budapest Baths, the city of Budapest invites you to discover the Castle District, the Fisherman's Bastion, the Buda Castle and the Hungarian Parliament, amidst monumental architecture and panoramic views of the city.

Fez, Morocco
Fez is one of Morocco's most charming cities and a perfect destination to discover traditional hammam rituals. Here, body care is part of everyday life and social culture: the steam bath, the exfoliating scrub and the purifying treatments represent a wellness experience, but also an authentic way to get in touch with local habits.
The city has over 100 hammams, including the historic Hammam Seffarine, located in the square of the same name. You can choose between more traditional neighborhood hammams and more refined spa environments, finding the same essentials: steam, purification, skin care and relaxation.
During a stay in Fez, it's also worth exploring the medina, souks, artisan shops, and historical monuments, stopping to sample mint tea and Moroccan sweets such as chebakia, made with honey and sesame.

In the neighborhoods of Vitacura, Las Condes and Providencia, many spas offer treatments inspired by Chilean winemaking heritage.
Scrubs, facial treatments and regenerating baths use grape seeds, vine extracts and antioxidant-rich pomace, designed to nourish the skin and stimulate circulation. Some rituals also integrate regional ingredients such as quinoa, avocado oil, and volcanic minerals.
