Also be warned, cause you might just come across your favorite actor by the deep blue Hollywood Pool...

Corinthia, Budapest

Undoubtedly, the pièce de résistance of Corinthia inside its magnificent neoclassical Baroque architecture, is the curved swimming pool, the splendor of which goes even beyond thanks to its stained-glass ceiling and surrounding balconies in the Royal Spa whose origins date back to the Art Deco heyday in 1886. Housing a variety of attractions that'll grace your digital frames, stretching from its atrium lobby where you’ll feel as if the servants shall announce your name the moment you enter, to its historical panoramic staircase; from the hidden glass bridge to its thermal facilities like the jacuzzis and steam room; the hotel offers a wide range of revitalizing spa experiences including the Espa body treatments, massage therapies like Swedish massage, facials, and hand and foot treatments.

Euphoria Retreat, Greece

And quite possibly the pictures -or reels- you’ll share from while sipping your favorite drink in the stunning infinity pool that appears like it merges with Lake Garda on the horizon, or while taking a calm walk in the 11-hectare fairytale natural park or during your healing moments in the “La Luna nel Lago” thalassotherapy pool, will add a visual lustre to your Instagram beating to sweet Mediterranean melodies.

Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa, UK

Falls Spa resides along Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa, which combines traditional and contemporary textures inside its Victorian architecture, in the party of a magnificent view overlooking Derwentwater and Catbells Mountain Range, and offers high-level spa treatments and rituals with Ishga and Elemis brands in its lodge-style area. And it's pretty confident of its astonishing 16-meter hydrotherapy pool enough to claim that it’d be the Lake District’s best selfie location. But its Thermal Suite hosting facilities such as Laconium, Rasul room; the Champagne Bar, the award-winning Asian restaurant, winter garden and terrace gardens with waterfall view also seem worthy to immortalize your experiences therein.

Also don't miss out the treatments like Tui Na Energy Massage and personalized spa experiences including the Art of Scarf ritual that commits to a truly silky skin, at the Chi, the Spa, which blends the healing of Qi energy with Western modernism.

Six Senses, Ibiza, Spain

Looking over the unparalleled tones of blue and blending the historical bohemian texture of the region under its modern structure, Six Senses Ibiza invites you to reconnect with yourself through its abundant spa experiences with its personalized treatments, programs like Love Your Heart and immersive retreats. Pay attention to your phone's charge when you go, as its magnificent spaces such as the RoseBar Longevity hall, the infinity pool resembling an oasis sweeping towards the sea, Cave Suites, Cala Xarraca, Alchemy Bar, and the massage rooms in the underground catacombs will probably tempt you into taking Instagram shots one after the other.
