SPAs THAT PUT THE “AAA” IN BASEL

A reader came to me with what I (and my knotty shoulder muscles) view as a critical question: where to find a good spa in Basel? An informal poll yielded the following results:
•Yves Rocher. This Basel shop is not the most soothing or sophisticated of environments but they do offer massages (and waxing services as well) by appointment only. Freie Strasse 11, +41 61 261 10 90
•Kurzentrum Rheinfelden, about 15 minutes away offer spa services that have found repeat customers in some of the most discerning shoulders I know in Basel
•Badenweiler. If you’re really big on spas, why not try Badenweiler - a whole spa town in Germany, less than an hour away from Basel.
If you have a favorite local spa email me at karena.meehan@balehoo.com or post a response here.
