"Britain’s original natural thermal spa contains a slew of distinct offerings, so you can opt for two-hour access to the New Royal Bath Main Spa (which is adults-only), or you can select a 90-minute session at the Cross Bath (children ages 12 to 15 are permitted with an adult), though it’s only the former that will give you access to an infrared room, ice chamber, and Georgian and Roman steam rooms. Whichever way you go, know that you may also book hot-stone (which uses volcanic basalt stones to further ease tension), or bamboo (which enlists warm bamboo sticks to nourish the body) massages. If you’re traveling with a spouse or partner, consider the aromatherapy couples massage to submit to a sublimely calming experience together." - Stacey Lastoe
