Málaga, Spain
Spa Finca Cortesin
Temperatures along the sunny Costa del Sol now plunge to -12°C inside Spain’s only spa boasting a Finnish-inspired roll-in-the-snow cabin. After a stint in the 2,200-square-metre thermal area, sauna-goers can rub snow directly onto their skin to improve blood flow and give the immune system a boost.

Velden, Austria
Schloss Velden, a Capella hotel
With the touch of a button, artificial snowflakes drift softly through the air in the therapeutic cold room at the Auriga spa. Guests can chill out under a ceiling of fiber-optic lights that mimics the alpine resort’s starry skies, while the snow-covered grotto refects the blanketed Carinthia slopes just steps away, but at a comfortable -7°C.

Ocean Spa
Throwing snowballs is encouraged at Butlins Ocean Hotel. Known for their gold-flake-encrusted face masks, disco showers and male-centric treatment rooms where soccer highlights are projected on the wall, this British institution takes cool to a whole new level with an ice-swept, snow-filled -12°C cave.

Las Vegas
Qua Baths & Spa
Heated benches and floors warm you as man-made snow falls from a domed glass-tiled ceiling in the Arctic Ice Room at Caesars Palace. And if the snowfall and 13°C temperature aren’t enough to chill you out after an ancient-Roman steam bath, the mint-infused air and ice chips – on hand to melt away muscular stress – certainly will.
