Japan lovers 2:The most famous and celebrated of Japanese spas, already popular 3000 years ago, Dogo Onsen. Is the favourite location of many ancient sagas. It’s heart, the beach of Honkan, is the oldest spa in Japan.

Dead sea between Israel and Jordan:
King Solomon, Cleopatra and the Queen of Sheba are among the big admirers of the historic Dead Sea, one of the oldest spas in the world, renowned for its healing properties of water and mud. The local climate is ideal for thalassotherapy (nothing more than swimming in the Dead Sea, but truly miraculous) and treatments based on mud. There are resorts on both sides, Israeli and Jordanian territory, ready to provide treatment for almost all ailments, from psoriasis to arthritis.
Hot water beach, New Zealand:
North Island: this is the place where the hot springs gush precisely down the sand. In the high season it seems that the beach is beaten by giant rabbits. The truth is that at low tide, for a couple of hours, you can borrow a shovel from the locals, dig a nice hole and then let yourself be pampered by the warm sand and water, or perhaps relaxing by drinking a coffee. It’s a bath prepared by yourself, but that gives you satisfaction. If your loins (known as kidneys) are overheated, do not be afraid, they’ll be cooled by ocean waves.
