Before You Die: Spa Deus, Chanciano Terme by Matthew Barker

Specialities of this Italian spa include the Dead Sea mud treatment, a hot stones massage, an oxygen bar and rebirthing.

They say: “Staff are professional and contagiously enthusiastic with an emphasis on showing you a fun time” (Tatler).

We say: Wonderfully at-ease and very Italian - early morning walks through the Tuscan hills; eating up to seven times a day (pastas have low-calorie sauces); there's even a bath in Dom Perignon, which, so they say, is an excellent way to detox.
