Want to go on your first spa break but feel anxious about what to expect? You're not alone.

From day one, Spabreaks.com has set out to challenge and improve the wellness industry, making it more accessible to more people. This ethos runs through every fibre of our being - the product we offer, the way we offer it, the way we work, how we support our team and how we support our business partners.

Created by Abi Selby, Spabreaks.com is a spa booking agency working with more than 600 spa destinations around the world and arranging spa days and breaks for up to 12,000 people each week. From a small team of three, we have grown to a family of more than 90 members of staff with an office of knowledgeable spa consultants in Brighton. But those are just the numbers.

Every journey starts with a moment of inspiration, coupled with a deep understanding of a situation. Abi Selby's moment of inspiration came in 2006 when she began honing her vision for changing the way we experience the spa industry. This is her story.

There are school holidays and bank holidays around the corner, and whether you're looking for a last-minute escape or are planning ahead, we’re all in need of a little time out. Parents want to relax and the kids want to have fun - thank goodness for child friendly spa hotels with creches, activities and space where everyone can have a break…
