Summer has arrived, and if you are looking around to decide what your holiday destination will be, today we give you an extra idea - always with an eye to wellness, of course.

In fact, you can take advantage of a short stay in a European capital to spend some quality time and get back in shape, providing, in addition to the classic tourist visit, breaks at a wellness center.

Can you imagine a better way to take 100% of your vacation?

Our relaxation mission makes a stop in Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, rich in monuments, museums and characteristic pubs that also offers a panorama of well-respected spas.

Among the most appreciated, the Melt Natural Healing Center, located in the center, along the river Liffey that crosses the capital: in the same area are the town hall, the wax museum, the Olympia theater, Dublin Castle.

The center deals with beauty treatments based on reflexology, homeopathy, acupuncture, and different types of massage.

Not far away is the Holistic Center, which has specialists in massage, acupuncture, kinesiology, herbal medicine, iridology, osteopathy and reflexology, but also nutritional counseling, life coaching, psychotherapy, pilates and yoga classes and workshops (kundalini and reiki) .

Between the Gaiety Theater (1871) and the public park St Stephen's Green, the Buff Day Spa offers a wide variety of massages, holistic and beauty treatments.

Without forgetting the offer for men, most of the "packages" or treatments are designed for women, for different purposes or even different occasions, such as maternity, bachelorette or wedding preparation.

In the same area, The Grooming Rooms is dedicated exclusively to men, for the care and beauty of the body and in particular of the beard.

If you are personally or professionally interested in furthering the study, in addition to the Holistic Center you can consider the Beyond Harmony Wellness Center. Located in front of the sea, the structure organizes courses and meditation workshops, yoga, pilates, Thai massage, also for the period of pregnancy.

If you haven't heard of it yet, here they are also equipped for "floating therapy" (Flotation Theraphy, or Floating): it is an experience of deep relaxation that is reached by floating in a special tank, closed or open, containing a solution of water and magnesium sulfate.

From the buoyancy comes the sensation of floating, favored by the absence of sensory stimuli. The benefits of this technique are many: while on the one hand, with the theta state, meditation is profound, on the other you get an excellent level of muscle relaxation and psychophysical balance.

This technique was developed during the 1950s by Dr. John Lilly, as part of a study on the sensory deprivation of divers, and was later integrated naturally into alternative medicine.

Despite everything, it is a relatively recent diffusion therapy .

Another structure that offers floatation therapy is the Harvest Moon Center, along with holistic treatments for the face, reflexology, massages also for the period of pregnancy and reiki.

The center is near the Merrion Square park and the archeology museum.

No matter when you decide to go ... at any time you can find some offers for wellness treatments and visit the attractions of the city, always lively and busy with people.

As for the vast summer program, in July the city hosts the Curio Festival and the Oxegen; the PhotoIreland Festival, the Dun Laoghaire Festival of World Cultures and the Liffey Swim in August ; while, if between September and October, your stay may coincide with the Dublin Fringe Fest theater festival, the PokerStars Festival Dublin or the Bram Stoker Festival.

That's it: between tourism and wellness, your vacation package is complete and all your senses are satisfied and regenerated.
