Best Barcelona Spa hotels by number of stars

NURTURE YOUR BODY AND MIND IN THE BEST BARCELONA SPA HOTELS​

Barcelona is a wonderful city. Beautiful architecture, delicious food, enticing nightlife, cool shopping, first-class museums, unique shopping opportunities… But while exploring all this is exhilarating, it also comes with its downsides: Lots of walking around, standing in line, a mind dizzy from absorbing as much as you can about the sites you are visiting, struggling to make yourself understood in a foreign language…

If you come to Barcelona, make sure to plan some time-off during your trip to get a real break and take care of yourself after a long day sightseeing. Choose a spa hotel and submerge in healing waters, have your muscles rubbed and massaged, regal your skin with deliciously scented creams and oils.

That’s a real rest! Do you want to know where to find that in town? The best way is to stay at one of our many hotels with spa services: we help you choosing the best one for you!

    The Very Best Spa Hotels in Barcelona: 5*GL

    Did you know 5 stars isn't the highest rate a hotel can get? Equivalent to what sometimes people refers to as "6 star hotels", the term "5 star Grand Luxe" is reserved for the best of the best. And it just makes sense that many of them feature exceptional spas. So let us start this post with the best of the best. Ladies and gentlemen, these are the very best spa hotels in Barcelona:

    1

    Arts Ritz Carlton Hotel

    Located in the 42 and 43 floors of the highest building of Barcelona, this spa doesn’t only offer spectacular views over the city, but it also is one of the few spa hotels near the beach (actually, overlooking it). It has everything to make you re you’ll feel like a star. It is divided in separate areas for ladies and gents, each with its own sauna, pool, ice fountain and color therapy steam room. Their signature treatments are offered by the local exclusive cosmetics Natura Bissé!

    LOCATION: Beach front
    POOLS: 1 outdoor

    Palace Hotel

    The Mayan Luxury Spa of the Palace Hotel won the World Luxury Spa Award in 2019. They don’t have a water circuit, but they do have a Temazcal sauna and their treatments are super-creative treatments! Silk & Shells? Cacao? Aztek gold? Tahitian black sand?

    They even have special kids packages for your little princesses and superheroes (that is, your children of course!). But for its originality, we choose their special temazcal Mayan rebirth ritual of the 4 elements. Maybe the best spa in Barcelona. Book a room here.

    LOCATION: Eixample
    POOLS: 1 rooftop pool
    SPA TREATMENTS: Yes
    WATER CIRCUIT: Temazcal and saunas, but no water
    FITNESS: Personal trainer

    Majestic Spa (Majestic Hotel)​

    It was the first European spa hotel to get the SpaExcellence certification, and it totally deserves it. They have a hydrotherapy zone combining heat and water: dry sauna, ice fountain, steam bath and a sensations shower.

    Among a huge variety of massages and packages, we love indulging in the luxury of their Majestic Diamond treatment, with real diamond dust. Book a room here.

    Claris Hotel & Spa

    The setting is important when talking about spas. The decoration needs to inspire you, to relax you, to elevate you. And this certainly happens at the spa of Hotel Claris, the only one featuring ancient pre-Columbian archaeological pieces. As soon as you step in, you feel transported back to the Mayan times… in style. Not for nothing it won the World Award to the Best Historical Spa in both 2018 and 2019. Plus the best Emergent Spa in 2017. That means something!

    Enjoy true Mayan massages and treatments, such as their Chuun Nak’ Mayan secret, or the Xocoatl Chocolate Ecstasi, or the Pre-hispanic Gold… Or experience a Mayan Rebirth experience in their Temazcal sauna. They also have special packages for teens and kids.

    Hotel Gran Hyatt (former Sofia or Princesa Sofia)

    What used to be an old-school business hotel anchored in the 1980’s has now become a place for hedonism, elegance and pleasure. And their spa is its epitome. And oasis of hot and cold water pools, hydromassage, dry and steam sauna, ice fountain… And my favorite: a salt cabin where you can experience the healing properties of crystal salt. There’s only a couple of them in Barcelona, and it’s the only inside a hotel, as far as I know.

    In their treatments they use exclusive products of local cosmetic brands such as Natura Bissé and Alquimia. And they also have private spa suites equipped with dry sauna, steam sauna and jacuzzi. What else?
