Richmond Nua Wellness-Spa Hotel, Sakarya, Turchia

One of Turkey's first destination spas, the Richmond Nua Wellness Spa has everything you possibly ask for and luxury to spare. Funky interiors with more than a touch of cool design, stunning views onto Lake Sapanca and an atmosphere of perfect calm make this a rather special getaway. The centrepiece, of course, is the spa itself, which offers an enormous range of treatments and 20 different types of massage. Having benefited from the designer's touch as much as the rest of the property, it conjures up a wonderful atmosphere of blissful relaxation and rejuvenation. The hotel's concept of a holistically balanced lifestyle also extends to dining, and the Aqua Restaurant offers the finest Turkish and international cuisine with the freshest ingredients, surrounded by water features and constantly changing lighting.

The rooms at the Richmond Nua Wellness Spa are both stylish and luxurious. Decorated in a wonderfully fresh style combining flowing lines with restful colours, funky furniture with designer fabrics, many also have views of the beautiful Lake Sapanca. Cutting-edge technology such as flat-screen televisions and WiFi internet access comes as standard. The Nua Wellness Spa Centre offers different types of shower, a Spa Lounge, Ottoman steam bath, Aqua Cave shower, herbal steam baths, salt inhalation bath, sauna, locanium (a dry bath), tepidarium, an ice grotto, a saline Jacuzzi, and a relaxation room with heated waterbeds, among many other things. There is also a professionally equipped fitness centre, and a large outdoors swimming pool, which also offers beautiful views over the lake. In addition to the Aqua Restaurant, the hotel has the Terruana, which offers lighter meals as well as delicious brunches.

Richmond Nua Wellness Spa is located next to Lake Sapanca, near the small city of Sapanca in the Marmara region of Turkey, some 120 km to the south-east of the capital of Turkey, Istanbul – the drive there takes about 90 minutes along the motorway. It is 110 km from Sabiha Gokcen Airport, and 170 km from Ataturk Airport.
