Hang up the 9 to 5 and wind down in beautiful Czechia
There comes a point in the year when we all feel stressed out, right? Our brains are overloaded with information and only a holiday is going to kiss it better.
Life in the fast lane is exhausting and many of us feel under pressure to be ‘on’ 24/7. Besides, sitting at a desk all day, computer glare, deadlines and performance pressure all affect our well-being. For some, the answer is a sun, sea, sand, bucket and spade escape but what if you need more than that? If you’re craving a little bit of everything – culture, castles, adventure as well as some proper pampering, Czechia is exactly where you need to go for that well-deserved break. If it’s your first time visiting the Czech Republic, you might find some unexpected pleasures along the way…
Are you ready to experience Czech wellness?
As well as being some of the oldest and most opulent, Czech wellness resorts have also been hailed as some of the best in the world. With a wealth of natural resources and highly trained therapists at your disposal, a Czech spa is the perfect place to leave all your troubles behind.
The secret of the Czech wellness experience lies in the magic blend of ancient traditions and top-class medical care. This is especially true of the ‘Spa Triangle’ and the fairytale spa towns of West Bohemia. These are proper chill-out zones to transport you from the stresses and strains of everyday life. Here, you can truly just live in the moment.
Where to go?
Karlovy Vary is arguably one of Europe’s most beautiful spa destinations and good health and wellbeing are high on the agenda here. The town follows the Teplá stream and it’s common place to see locals filling jugs from the thermal springs – known for their healing properties. As well as being a hotbed of wellness, Karlovy Vary is the epitome of architectural splendour with its imposing colonnades and historical buildings each with a story to tell.
The wellness appeal of Czech spas is powerful stuff – it’s the gold star level of pampering all set against a fairytale backdrop. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? Don’t take our word for it though, go and see for yourself.
The great outdoors – fitness and fun!
Alternatively, if you’re looking for action and adventure to blow away the cobwebs, there are plenty of cool activities to put a spring back in your step. The outdoor, active things to do in Czechia are also quite unexpected!
In Czechia, there’s outdoor fun to inspire even the most exhausted and burnt-out professionals. The country might be best known (and loved!) for its fairytale capital city but beyond the magic of Prague there’s a wild side just waiting to be explored.
After months of seeing only the four walls of an office, it’s high time to get out and about and explore the beautiful hiking and cycling trails through breathtaking scenery.
Or, you can give it some pedal power by cycling along one of the many tried and tested bike routes. Lofty peaks, crystal clear lakes, lush green countryside, it’s all here and the perfect destination for anyone wanting to clear their head.
From the FTSE to the fairways
We all know the golf course is where some of the best business deals are done but it’s also a great way to wind down. If a leisurely round of golf is more your pace, Czechia has some splendid courses set in spectacular surroundings where golfers can perfect their swing. Tee off in top courses in Ostravice, or Čeladná sports complex near Ostrava. There’s also plenty of golf action close to Prague. The championship courses at Karlštejn Golf Resort are sure to be a hit with golfers, and in West Bohemia, choose from Marianske Lazne’s Royal Golf Course or the golf resort Cihelny near Karlovy Vary. With over 100 courses to choose from keen golfers won’t struggle to give the clubs an outing in Czechia!
If you are starting to feel a little under par, it could be high time for a health and wellbeing holiday.
Go on; give yourself a break and head to the wonders of Czechia. Your body, mind and soul will thank you for it!
