Spa holidays in a Ducato motorhome: relaxation… and so much more!

Motorhomes can be the perfect base to spend one or more days at a spa. Several locations include spaces to park a motorhome next to the thermal baths or in the immediate vicinity, in car parks, equipped areas or campsites. Spas are an experience to be enjoyed as a couple, but often also as a family. Indeed, there is no shortage of spas that can also be accessed by children. There is a very wide range of activities available at a spa, from treatments pure and simple to more leisurely ones: aerosols of beneficial vapours, body regeneration with mud and purification of the body through water intake, but also massages, saunas and enjoyable itineraries in the warm water. Many spas have a water park nearby, perfect for children. And there is never a lack of opportunity to take a pleasant break for a drink, an aperitif or a decent dinner.

But which spas are the most suitable to be reached in a motorhome? There are many options all over Europe: here are some resorts that are well suited for the combination of spas and parking spaces for motorhomes.
