Don’t be fooled by the Cronenberg-esque sci-fi name. Liquidrom, near the historic Potsdamer Platz, is heaven. This serene and design-chic domed spa, complete with skylight and futuristic dimmed lighting, has seen its popularity soar since it beganinviting DJs to play ambient classical/electronic music that reverberates throughout the saltwater. The salt caverns and four nude saunas all come at a decent price. We say book yourself an aufgusssession right away.

What would a Berlin spa list be without the inclusion of some freaky foot action? Less fetishistic than it sounds, the Lakana Thai Massage and Fish Spa caters to the adventurous and unticklish spa-goer with an exfoliation techniqueoriginatingfrom Jordan. Rest assured, the aquariums are ‘constantly being cleaned’ so you can sit back and let the Garra Rufa fish nibble away at your dead skin without (that much) hesitation.

We highly recommend spending an afternoon surrounded by chandeliers and twinkling candles andlavishingyourself with expensive French productsat Guerlain. Go for the Das Waldorf half-day transformative experience or the Cocooning Imperiale full-day body extravaganza (any treatment booked for over 90 minutes includes spa-basking time and a gown).
