You’ve heard of ‘work hard, play hard’, right? Well this year, along with our friend’s at Preferred Hotels & Resorts we’re coining the phrase ‘work hard, spa harder’. A few months into the working year, we know that like us, you’re probably looking for that ultimate spa-getaway, to recharge your batteries and get you fit and fighting for the year head. Luckily, the Preferred Hotels & Resorts family have some fabulous spa hotels in their portfolio to help you do just that. After all, they’re the world’s largest independent hotel brand with over 750 distinctive properties in 85 countries worldwide, so whatever destination takes your fancy, there will most probably be a Preferred property there with an OutThere spa.
Perhaps we’ve inspired you to try more than one? Well then, the iPrefer rewards programme will help you rack up some amazing perks, the more you stay with Preferred. Here are some great spa properties to get you started.
