Where Is the Best Spa Resort?

Introduction

Bathing in spas is something that we humans have been doing for thousands of years. We are familiar with the Romans and how they would construct baths even in places that did not have natural springs nearby. In many cultures the water of certain locations is associated with purification and healing. In India the water of the Ganges is considered to be holy and bathing in the Ganges River is associated in Hinduism with cleansing of the soul. A spa resort is an excellent way to get healthy and back in shape if you have let yourself go over the years. Alternatively there are other resorts which focus less on getting you to lose weight and more on rest and relaxation.

History

In our modern times we don’t associate spas so much with spirituality, but there is still a strong association of spas and spa resorts with healing and relaxation. Many times our health is affected by stress from work and family pressures and going to a spa resort is a great way to unwind and repair. Spas made a comeback in Western Europe after there was a cholera epidemic in the UK during mid 19th century and it was realised that increasing cleanliness and hygiene could reduce the severity of the disease. This realisation led to the British parliament enacting the Baths and Wash-houses Acts 1846 to 1896 which facilitated the building of baths throughout the country. In the United Kingdom one of the most famous spa towns which has a long tradition of spa resort is Royal Tunbridge Wells. The King and Queens of England used to frequent this town as the hot springs of Tunbridge were considered as being able to cure many ailments.
