The best places for health & beauty
Aqua Sana / Centerparcs, Sherwood Forest 
Consider a relaxing break at Centerparcs - on the way home from work. The Aqua Sana at Sherwood Forest was recently voted the UK's best spa (by a panel of judges with the UK's best job). Drift between the pool and 14 themed thermal rooms, from Japanese salt steam bath to Turkish hammam, then retire for a 'light supper' of cheese, biscuits and a cleansing glass of wine.

Re:Store Contemporary Clinic / 17 Hurts Yard
Scuffy old Hurts Yard is a little bit more like Neals Yard, Covent Garden thanks to Re:Store Contemporary Clinic, Nottingham's one-stop shop for restorative massage. One of the best massages ever says Nikki, who was particularly impressed by the absence of tree-hugging music. Treatments range from a ten minute neck and shoulder fix to the full Inner Smile hour and a quarter trip. Restoration. The always immaculate clinic is also stocked with a range of high-quality organic and fairtrade products for your exceptional wellbeing. PJ’s soft-eating liquourice for example. Raspberry flavour is grown-up Haribo heaven. Go try; and take ten minutes (or more) for that massage too. Phone 9590000.
