Spa-crossed Lovers

VIGILIUS SPA
LANA, SOUTH TYROL

Scott
The best things in life are often difficult to pronounce: croissants, Staropramen and Natalia Vodianova, to name but a few. As is the case with Vigilius, a gorgeous spa set high in the mountains of South Tyrol. For maximum brownie points, the resort can be reached by cable car, so while your girlfriend oohs and ahhs over the spectacular scenery, you can be scoping out mountain bike tracks for your tour later in the day.

Juliet
Oh, stop that sniggering just because you think the name sounds like something fungal and itchy – this hillside hideaway couldn’t be better for your health. What also has us chicks oohing and ahhing is this hip hotel’s eco-credentials and sustainability. And, while us ladies can get our kicks from wonders like a massage in warm spring water, known as Watsu – as we eyeball a view over larch trees – you adrenaline junkies can fantasize about whiteknuckle thrills, like parachuting off mountains. That should give the chaps something to yodel about.
Doubles from €272, including breakfast, shuttle and spa facilities.Tel: +39 047 355 6600, www.vigilius.it

SON BRULL HOTEL & SPA
CARRETERA PALMA-POLLENÇA, MALLORCA (OPENS FOR SPRING 1 FEB)

Scott
The last time you went to Majorca, it was probably on some blokes’ holiday to “Shagaluff ”. Son Brull, your lady will be pleased to hear, is light years away from the sun, sea and sick capital of the Balearics. The spa treatments involve all manner of unguents in an idyllic setting and, if you’re not keen on getting pounded and kneaded, there’s wine tasting, cooking classes and a great golf course nearby.

Juliet
Even tough lads who reckon beautifying is for the X-chromosomed will soon twig that a spell at this 12th-century former monastery could make Buddhist monks of the Kray twins. It even has its own product range using local herbs, oils and sea salt, and while he’s off slipping a disc on the golf course, you can lie back and sample signature treatments like “Rose Harmony” and “Tramontana Peeling”.
Doubles from €254, including breakfast/spa facilities. Tel: +34 971 535 353, www.sonbrull.com

HOTEL OMM
265 ROSSELLO, BARCELONA

Scott
The spa at this temple to minimalism is the perfect remedy to a night on the sauce in Barcelona. The morning after the two of you have hammered the bars of Las Ramblas and filled up on some of the finest tapas known to man, a relaxing dip in the Jacuzzi here will help ease you back into the day. Weather permitting, head for the stylish rooftop pool and make all sorts of indecent proposals to her while gazing at Gaudi’s bizarre, melting building, the Casa Milà.

Juliet
Indeed, however many cervezas you sink in this beloved Spanish city-break stopover, a whirl in the Asian-accented Spaciomm could shift an Ollie Reed-sized hangover. Treatments aren’t exactly a snip, starting at €90 for one hour, but you are getting a round-trip ticket to cloud nine for your moolah. By the time you’ve had your post-massage cuppa from the tea lounge, black bean-bag masks over eyes, rocking in the relaxation-room loungers, you’ll be so blissed-out it’s likely even the most ardent footie fans among you will be thinking “Nou Camp, schmoo camp”. Whack up the new-age choons and give me another rub-down por favor, señorita.
Doubles from €240, plus 7% tax. Tel +34 934 454 000, www.hotelomm.es
