With a combination of some of the finest health and beauty treatments and all the usual comforts of a superb hotel, a trip to a spa hotel can be the ultimate luxury holiday. Sardinia has been used as a retreat from the cares of the world for many years, and it is easy to see why. Not only does it offer blazing Mediterranean sunshine and spectacular scenery, the quality of the thermal and mineral waters on this island make it the ideal setting for some of the world's finest spa centres. Here is a selection of the very best places for a luxury spa holiday in Sardinia.

Valle dell Erica Resort, Santa Teresa Di Gallura

Located on the north coast of Sardinia, this luxury hotel and resort is perfectly located a stones throw away from the beach. The hotel is beautifully, elegantly designed, and is popular with both families and couples, and its fully equipped spa centre includes sea water swimming pools, a sauna, Turkish bath, gym, and a relaxation centre. It borders a National Marine Park and faces the uninhabited island of Spargi, giving you plenty of natural spaces to explore on trips outside the resort itself. Overall, it is an outstanding place to be pampered while on a luxury holiday to Sardinia.

Hotel Marinedda, Isola Rosso

The Hotel Marinedda, set atop a cliff overlooking a horseshoe shaped bay of golden sand and crystal clear waters, offers one of the most spectacular sea views in Sardinia.

A stay here won't disappoint - the Hotel Marinedda is widely regarded as one of the best luxury hotels in Sardinia.

Hotel Capo D'Orso, Palau

The Capo D'Orso is located in the unspoilt bay of Cala Capri, one of the most secluded corners of Sardinia. This luxury hotel is surrounded by juniper trees and olive groves in an enormous private park, and is one of the most private and relaxed spa hotels on the island. Well known for the outstanding cuisine served up in its restaurant, excellent service, and its superb spa facilities, the Capo D'Orso offers its visitors a complete luxury experience.

Hotel Relax Torreruja, Isola Rosso

Isola Rosso is famous for its romantic sunsets, it is no wonder that couples in particular are attracted to the Hotel Relax Torreruja for a spa holiday in Sardinia.

Cut Yourself Some Slack

We all have had our portion of bad days; they are inevitable. Living in the realm of today's busy working schedules, while not allowing our bodies and minds to experience any relaxing time or enjoying life's simple pleasures, has led us feeling physically ill or emotionally worn out. It is time to realize that this is actually a normal outcome of pushing yourself too hard. But what is not normal is allowing this depressing state to continue without doing anything to reverse its negative outcomes.

When the advice of "cutting yourself some slack" is given to you not only by columnists or experts, but also by friends, then you have to reconsider your actions and daily routine and perform any necessary changes to allow yourself some time to breath. Working individuals suffer today from a common problem; being always too busy. Instead of multitasking when you are in the house or simply deciding to stay indoors because you do not think you have the necessary energy to perform anything else, react! Make yourself get out the door and begin experiencing the life you believe you deserve. Begin by calling friends or joining a group of people that are willing to explore life's choices while being outdoors. Close the door behind you and let work problems exist only when you are in the office.

Although this is easier said than done, try to select a precious time during the day or even the week and spoil yourself by going window shopping, walking around in the nearest park, or jogging early in the morning or later, before dinner time. Those precious moments away from it all can give you a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment that only you can provide to your body and mind. Cutting some slack, should not be considered a luxury. Instead, you should think of it as the necessary time to charge your own batteries and thus cope better with life. Others' expectations, as well as your own, can be a very heavy load for you to carry around, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Make yourself and others realize that engaging in any outdoor activities is one of the few ways you have in hand to become more productive and increase your efficiency levels.

Biking, swimming, jogging, playing baseball, soccer, basketball, football or any other sport of your choice, can direct you to reach a different state of mind and actually begin feeling again useful. Instead of spending the limited available time worrying for things you cannot fix while outside the office, invest in yourself and others will realize the difference as soon as you will.
