HEALTH TOURISM

The word "wellness" is made up of two terms "well being" and "fitness". Wellness developed as a way of life in America 30 years ago and emphasizes that in order to lead a satisfying life one should blend into harmony the mental, physical and psychological.

The second term "Spa" actually comes from the Belgian city of health resorts bearing the same name, situated in the Ardennes and recognized for its effective techniques in improving a person's physical condition and beauty.

Since the wellness, or in other words, Spa philosophy represents a total approach to a person, the best results are achieved if a specific treatment is combined with a holiday, because going for a massage or sauna after a long day at work only provides partial physical relief.

This is why we advise you to opt for a wellness package rather than just a single wellness product. Everyone should choose according to their means and availability and take time out for themselves. By doing so you will be giving your spirit, soul and body the best possible gifts - balance and harmony. source: Adriatica.net
