But which ones are truly worth a visit? The editors of Vogue have tackled this question and compiled a list of the world’s ten best spas.

An escape far from everyday life–that’s what most people hope for from a spa wellness experience. These can be found worldwide in great variety.

To make the choice a bit easier, the editors of “Vogue” have selected the ten most outstanding wellness oases from hundreds worldwide. The best spas in the world not only impress with luxurious treatments and stylish ambiance but also with a deep connection to the nature and culture of their surroundings.

The Lanserhof on Sylt is a health resort off the northern coast of Germany. The aim of this facility is to combine modern medicine with naturopathy. The concept is primarily focused on gut health, detoxification, and regeneration. The idea behind it is that a cleansed gut can activate the body’s self-healing powers, thus promoting health and vitality. Nestled in the dunes on Sylt, the spa describes itself as “one of the few places on the island from which you can see the sea and the mudflats.”

The architecture of the building is characterized by organic shapes and a large thatched roof, which, according to the official website, is one of the largest in Europe. The spa includes saltwater pools, saunas, and a modern fitness area, offering various opportunities for relaxation and regeneration.
