The guide to Uppsala's best spas

Sparadiset offers gorgeous treatments such as deep-tissue massage, facials, couples treatments and extra luxurious treatments in the historic surroundings of Krusenberg Herrgård on Lake Mälaren, just outside Uppsala. You can also buy organic products for your skin, hair and body, and combine your spa treatment with an overnight stay or a visit to the hotel's award-winning restaurant.

Selma City Spa is a true oasis where you can enjoy hot tubs, saunas, and a variety of treatments. You can also just come here and simply pause, doing as little as possible in a comfortable chair; settle down in the inviting spa lounge, with some fruit and a nice drink. If you still want to treat yourself to a treatment, you can opt for a relaxing massage, energising body treatment, or a pampering facial.

Its location in Gränby Centrum shopping centre makes Uppsala Spa ideal for a relaxing end to a day's shopping. The spa's range of treatments is broad and creative and includes classics such as massage and facials, along with Turkish salt scrubs and herbal baths.

Many spas combine relaxation with beauty in their treatments, but Royal Spa & Beauty takes it a step further than most. As well as massage they offer pain-relief procedures and a wide range of facial treatments. You can also come here for hair removal, injectables and eyelash and brow treatments. 

Nova Park's Water Lounge spa is a bit extra. The spa experience can be booked as part of various packages, from After Work Spa to Weekend Spa, all of which include treatments and access to the pool area. Everything from the mosaic-tiled sauna to the ice bar oozes luxury. Don't miss taking a seat in front of the five-metre high fireplace and relaxing. 

Sigtunahöjden hotel and conference centre on Lake Mälaren specialises in themed treatments such as pregnancy massage, facials for men and special group treatments. They're happy to tailormake the spa experience just the way you want it, making it as relaxing for guests as possible. The bathing area is small and intimate, particularly the outdoor jacuzzi, which is particularly cosy in the winter and boasts a beautiful view of Lake Mälaren. 

Organic Face & Spa lives up to its name. They offer everything from massage to waxing, but it's their facial and body treatments that really make the spa worth a visit. Handmade, organic skincare products are used for facials, sugar scrubs and baths. Whatever your age, you'll leave this spa with baby-soft skin.

In the architecturally designed Tullhuset, right by the water, you can enjoy various spa experiences all under one roof. As well as a fish spa, pedicures, massages and facials, you can also try healing and soothing treatments, such as reiki. There's a shop on the premises that sells gemstones, crystals, salt lamps, and much more.
