However, with so many options, which one do you choose? Well, we went and checked. Here are the top 5 spa & wellness centers in Jerusalem.

Regarding health, spa, and lifestyle, Barak Spa is one of, if not the leading wellness center in Jerusalem. This spa is located at Ramat Rachel Country Club. Those who wish to take some time out from all the noises and distractions without having to leave the city will find the spa's country club ambiance perfect for their needs.  This place is entirely dedicated to healing our bodies and souls, and you will find everything you need for a healthy, fun, self-indulgent day. 

There is a strong emphasis on creating an aromatic and relaxing atmosphere. If you're coming with a partner, and you're interested in a shared experience, you can book the spa's couples room. On the other hand, if you're more of an introvert type or simply arriving by yourself, they also offer a single treatment room. The place has a vast array of spa treatments: reflexology, deep tissue, combined massage, Swedish, hot stones treatment, and even a unique treatment for athletes. Pregnant women can enjoy a special pregnancy massage as well. The best part is that they actually have very convenient prices at Barak Spa, and you can even find interesting packages and deals.

What else is available for spa guests? An outdoor swimming pool, a big heated Jacuzzi, a sauna, and a steam room. If you are already here, make sure you order a healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner at the center's restaurant and end your day feeling completely satisfied.
