Pampering Czechia spa stay in Mariánské Lázně

• UNESCO-listed spa history: Mariánské Lázně's prized, mineral-rich waters have revived weary bodies for centuries, so make a run for the spa on arrival at Hotel Queens in this elegant spa town. You can switch off blissfully in the heated relaxation pool with counter-current, Jacuzzi, steam room and Finnish sauna.

• Bohemian energy: Tire yourself out for the spa with games of tennis on the six onsite clay courts and two padel tennis courts. Equipment can be rented or bought here too. Mariánské Lázně's lido is a lovely place to swim immersed in nature, and the town's Royal Golf Club was opened by England's King Edward VII in 1905.

• Mediterranean meals: Laver's Restaurant has a love for wholesome Mediterranean food. Dine on inspiration from the Apennine and Iberian Peninsulas inside or out on the sun-filled terrace. There's also a bar and a lounge with warming fireplace for cosy drinks.
