Right next to the famous Pozo de La Salud, Spain's westernmost hotel builds on the well's established healing reputation with an impressive choice of therapies – from thermal baths (€13) to reflexology (€38), Ayurvedic massages (€52) and hot-volcanic-stone treatments (€53). Bright, uncluttered, contemporary rooms surround a leafy courtyard (the best enjoy sea views) and treatments are open to all (book ahead).
