Highlighting the true meaning of the word ‘holiday’, there are a wide range of properties on the site which promise to transform an ordinary break into a rejuvenating sanctuary. Forget busy hotels, stuffy changing rooms and a queue for the shower - by booking a rental property, guests can create their very own private spa to help banish those New Year blues.  

Gregory Sion, Regional Director of HomeAway.co.uk, says, “January is traditionally the time for having a relaxing few days’ break so people can recharge their batteries after the busy festive season. But if you’re looking for an alternative to the customary spa weekend but don’t want to scrimp on the facilities, then the HomeAway.co.uk website has properties with heated pools, hot tubs, spa treatments, gyms and more.”

“From five star luxury mansions with treatment rooms and Egyptian cotton robes to more intimate boutique options with excellent facilities, you can find a spa break that is tailor made for you and your family," he added.
