It was like entering a different world. Forget spas, this was the Charlie and The Chocolate Factory of the beauty world. Hand in your body at check in and emerge renewed, reinvigorated and a new recruit to the Aqua Sana Spa at Centerparcs

As big as a European principality, Aqua Sana is autonomous, standing alone from Centerparcs in Wendlebury, so you can pop in for the day even if not staying in the park's cabins and it's scope and range defies belief.

For me, Aqua Sana was my only destination and I booked in readily for the day, expecting to be impressed but not blown away.

Once you enter however, you can;t fail to be impressed, because Aqua Sana is like six delux spas all compressed into one and set out into different zones, each categorised by a different sense. You can wander through at your leisure picking and choosing, trying out the 15 different thermal experiences which aim to deeply relax the mind and body. Whether easing your muscles in the warm Outdoor Heated Spa Pool or awakening your senses in the multi-sensory showers, it's up to you what you do and try

Whatever you want: hot or cold, zen or zing, earth or science, blossom or herbal, mineral of gemstone, fire or ice, Aqua Sana has got it all. Plus, book in for any treatments and you feel like laughing out loud such is the choice on offer, as if you need any more pampering, but when in Rome.

I took time out from my multi-sensory journey to pop in for a Elemis Pro Intense Lift Facial which was divine, while my friend tried out reflexology for the first time.

The lovely Vitalé Café Bar serving lunch, or tea and cake should you want it. It all means that by the time y are ready to go and they have unpeeled you fingers from the salt sauna, you return home transformed and looking a million dollars. What's not to like?
