9 spa hotels for a January getaway in Vogue style

The most frequent word I have uttered by the middle of this January, and probably every other one as well, is detox, closely followed by the word spa. The holidays are over, the cakes we baked have been eaten, along with all the cocktails and sparkling wine we drank. Things are clear. It is time for a good detox plan, and it would be lovely to spend it in a sauna, surrounded by forest and overlooking nature, while even the scent of the sea does not seem unwelcome in this equation.

In addition to being in the process of Dry January ideas, and hopefully the practice as well, we are thinking about destinations where we can relax and let go, where it smells of massage and top tier beauty treatments, and where the pool after the sauna is close enough to simply hop into. We got you. Below, you will find suggestions on how to spend January in Vogue style, as at the start of the year we are thinking about spa corners in the region and beyond.

Villa Luiv Chalet

Address: Razdoljska 49E, 51315 Mrkopalj, Croatia

What it is about: a spacious villa in Gorski Kotar with a private spa surrounded by forest

Although I recently thoroughly combed through a list of warm, cozy mountain houses for holidays in Gorski Kotar, I intentionally saved one for this selection. Villa Luiv Chalet is a luxurious mountain beauty for those seeking privacy, silence and refined designer comfort. It spans three floors and offers three elegantly designed bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, conceived as small sanctuaries for slower mornings. The true highlight of the house, however, is the private spa, imagined as a space for complete reset. An indoor heated pool with hydromassage jets invites relaxation throughout the year. The Finnish sauna deepens the sense of calm and restores balance to the body after time spent in fresh mountain air. A quiet zone for rest and rituals, along with large glass walls overlooking the forest, erase the boundary between interior and nature.
