You know how it is. One minute you’re fantasising about a muscle-melting massage, a fine line-erasing facial, a serene dip in a tranquil pool — then, you remember you have children and ‘tranquil’ isn’t really in their vocabulary.
But parents, there is hope. At the finest family-friendly spa hotels in the UK and Europe, grown-up R&R time meets plenty of fun for the kiddos, so everyone gets the break they deserve. Some retreats welcome little ones for their own adorable mini-manis and micro-facials. Others major in endless activities that keep tykes busy while you hit the treatment table blissfully solo.
