Mosaic tiles, soft lighting and water features set the mood for the authentic bathing ritual that is a crucial part of Turkish and Middle Eastern culture. If you have a full day to spend at the spa, Vabali is the real deal. This beautiful spa and wellness centre has been designed with a Balinese theme in mind along with a love for detail: hardwood floors, bamboo elements, wood carvings and natural colours create an oasis that allows you to completely switch off.
You can easily spend all day detoxing in the dozen different saunas and steam rooms, pampering yourself with coconut-mint peels and Ayurvedic massages and taking a dip in one of the pools. The simple and elegant design is paired with warm earthy colours, warm lighting and soft background music that set a relaxing tone as soon as you step inside. To round things off, you can add a coffee peel, anti-ageing facial or purifying algae wrap to your experience.
All treatments can be booked individually, or you can opt for a readily designed package that includes a set number of treatments. The castle-like atmosphere of the hotel continues into the spa and fitness area, with exposed brick walls and wooden beams throughout and with treatments that will have you feeling like royalty.
Detox in their steam room, take a dip the natural stone grotto or warm up in the infrared sauna. Treatments need to be booked and paid for separately. Higher-priced packages included extra treatments, from a full-body mocha peel and pomegranate face mask to an anti-stress head massage or a salt rub.
Please note that Saturdays to Wednesdays are reserved for women only, while men are welcome to visit on Fridays. The Wellneuss spa in Neuss resembles a park that is centred around a natural swimming area.
