Luxembourg's best spas and spa hotels

Spas and treatment centres

Best for: getting steamy

Les Thermes in Strassen has a range of facilities including a swimming pool, baby pool, water slides and a restaurant - making it a great destination for the whole family. The pièce de résistance, however, is the wide range of saunas. This includes two traditional hammams as well as indoor and outdoor saunas. The saunas range from a humid yet mild 42-45°C to a scorching 95°C outdoor sauna.

Best for: outdoor bathing

As well as a sauna and solarium, the municipal centre Les Bains du Parc in Esch-sur-Alzette features an open-air shallow pool which can be swam into from the inside. The pool is heated in all seasons and features water jets and massage benches. Perfect for a relaxing soak outdoors, no matter the weather.

Best for: spa at home

As well as being a fully-fledged urban spa, Spa Escape in Luxembourg City offers a range of products to help you bring the spa experience home. For instance, their Moment of Indulgence giftv includes rose bath and shower oil, a relax candle and a luxury skin treatment hydrosol sheet mask.

Best for: relaxing in private

For a totally indulgent experience, why not hire a private spa room? Sentosa in Doncols offers two spaces for private rental in two-hour blocks. The Palawan Space has everything you could wish for in a wellness room: swimming pool, hammam, sauna, relaxation area, whirlpool, dining area and cloakroom. They'll also throw in bathrobes, flip-flops, towels, and hot and cold soft drinks.

Best for: saltwater soak

For an authentic sea water experience without the sea, the spa at the municipal Pidal in Helmsange (Walferdange) is just the ticket. As well as a range of wellness and beauty treatments, it features a saltwater pool with underwater meditative music and warm lighting. Saltwater is said to be soft on the skin and lacks the sometimes-harsh chlorine smell of a traditional pool.

Best for: holistic wellness

Just Zen in Cessange, Luxembourg City is a treatment centre specialising in total body wellness. They offer traditional spa treatments such as deep tissue massage and stone therapy, as well as alternative treatments like reiki, hypnotherapy and reflexology. Their Yoga and the 5 elements package combines a yoga class with therapy and traditional Chinese medicine.
