Sumptuous and relaxing, the brand new Auriga Spa in Austria is the ideal place to unwind and be treated like royalty as others tend to your every need.

Located just next to the newly renovated luxury hotel Schloss Velden, classy clientele can put their feet back and take advantage of the huge range of treatments on offer in this zen-like environment.

The 3,500 sq metre complex pampers visitors with services such as the four signature treatments that are tied to the lunar cycle.

These include the New Moon with a seaweed and eucalyptus scrub, a seaweed wrap and a scented massage.

But those who aren't quite as adventurous can choose some more traditional options, such as a Swedish massage, a body scrub and a range of facials.

There are lavish couple suites on offer for those who want to have their treatments in the same room as their partner.

Other romantic options include the 'moon rituals', after which champagne or a candlelit dinner can be provided in a spa suite.

Situated in the country's southernmost province, the tranquil spot overlooks the beautiful Worthersee lake and is perfect for an utterly relaxing break.

Carinthia in southern Austria is well-known for its breathtaking mountains and lakes.
