Many men who wouldn’t be caught dead in a spa like builders and plumbers would actually benefit more than anyone from a spa. Manual labour can induce muscle strains and cause stress throughout the body. Hot oils and massages can sooth or even heal injuries which have occurred to the body, also treatments such as the “Saunas” can help fight off the common cold which is very common among men working outside exposed to the elements.

Personally i cannot imagine going down the pub and telling boys I’ve just had a therapeutic seaweed rap before I came down, its more than likely they would dig in to me! So you may want to keep the secret quite around your mates, sometimes I do think to myself about how many men do actually go on Health Spa Breaks and keep it hidden from their pals, i bet there is millions!!

You might as well give it a shot once as you may really enjoy it and find it very beneficial, also why do men think the price of a session at a spa is going to cost an arm and a leg? its not longer the 70′s Get with it!! Spa and health resorts prices are reasonable these days.

Spa’s are packed full of stress free half naked women! with no other men around to interfer! another benefit is that women love men who look after themselves! its amazing that Spa’s aren’t hounded by packs of like there is Snazzy bars and Clubs. Also women love a man who’s willing to look after himself and join a spar.

Hopefully this has changed your opinion on spa’s Spa Breaks.

By Mark Hodson, founder of 101 short breaks

The end of summer is the cue for regrouping after the excesses of summer. But for many people it’s time to think about booking their next holiday.

A spa break is a great way to get back on track after the dog days of summer. But these trips are changing. A new trend has emerged among young well-heeled travellers to eschew the fluffy towelling robes of the “traditional” spa and take on something more demanding.

This is a spa holiday with a difference, where an expert team of personal trainers, massage therapists and nutritionists knock you back into shape and help you maintain a leaner, healthier lifestyle.

The first company to organise yoga holidays was inspa retreats. Set up eight hours ago, it takes over a whole property – a villa or small hotel – in exotic destinations such as Morocco and the Balaerics.

A company spokeswoman said clients get home full of energy. “A lot of them return time and again. It’s their annual oil change and tuning”.

A slightly more intense option is a fitness retreat in a stunning beach or mountain location. Fitscape is a London-based operator with trips across the Mediterranean and Morocco.

If you’d rather something more sedate, consider a visit to the mountains of north India. There you’ll find Wildflower Hall where yoga instructors and a life coach help residents to chill to the max. Down time can be spent trekking, rafting or sampling Ayurvedic therapies.

Another optoin: rent a house on the north-east coast of Brazil along with your own personal trainer. Between workouts there is plenty of time to soak up the sun and explore local villages.

Another ground-breaking company is The Big Stretch, which offers trekking with life coaches in the mountains of Northern Spain. Founder Rosie Walford says the combination of dramatic countryside, strenuous walking and creative thinking produces remarkable results. Our clients return home changed. They rediscover their passion and imagination,” she says.

So what are the best destinations to visit if you fancy a longer spa trip away?

Well believe it or not there are many Caribbean spa holidays out there for people to choose from. One of the best things about the Caribbean is that you do not have to stick to the spa to be relaxed, the entire place has that relaxing feel to it. You get the added benefits of the sea, sand and palm trees and of course the climate is brilliant so if you fancy a swim in the sea the weather is almost always fine.

India spa holidays are another destination that surprises many people. India is such a vast nation with brilliant culture and diversity which why it is such a great location to have a spa holiday in. They specialize in ayurvedic spa centres and have some really nice hotels in which to stay in.

Hing Kong is very famous for the spa treatments that it has. Films like Rush Hour feature the chinese spas and the place itself contains many top notch spa hotels and relaxing environments.

A lot of people are being turned away from the Middle East at the moment for obvious reasons. It is actually a really good place to relax in. Places like Dubai have grown so much over the past few years and now feature some of the best hotels in the world. There are sandy beaches, shopping and some brilliant spa treatments that occur here.

Beach Holidays

In all likelihood the most common type of vacation particularly for families, what is better than after a nerve-wracking year to go abroad and then relax in a hot country laying down on the white sands while the kids run around.

Backpacking Trips

These are in most cases targetted more towards youthful people, mainly people who have just finished university and want to explore the world before getting a full time job. These are absolutely great adventures and something that will always be remembered by the person.

Safari Trips

If you are into wild life then this is an absolute must, you cannot beat a good old Safari trip, some of the scenery is absolutely amazing and if you are a keen photographer then you should definitely bring your camera along with you.

Spa Breaks

If your looking for the number one relaxation vacation then a spa break is definatley a good option. Indulge yourself to a full facial therapy, body massage and corking fitness programmes all in the natural way.

Caravan Breaks

Probably more targeted at the older generation caravan breaks are a great get away. Most caravan parks have numerous different nature walks that you can go on, as well as this a lot of them have on site facilities such as bars, swimming pools and restaurants.

These days there are so many holidays to choose from, so maybe the best option would be to go on a different one every year and not just stick to the same kind of holiday constantly.
