DETOX ESPACE HENRI CHENOT, PALACE MERANO, ITALY
For sparkling eyes, clear skin and a squeaky-clean gut to go with that pristine wedding dress, check in here for a total body reboot. With views over the Dolomites, you can pad from the marble-clad rooms in the main hotel across to the high-tech spa, in your dressing gown, without feeling self-conscious.

The Chenot Method believes most problems stem from the gut, and the doctors begin with a full medical check-up (there is an in-house lab to run tests) before a personal deep-cleansing programme is prescribed. Treatments include a suction-cupping massage to aid lymph drainage, pummelling hydrotherapy, said to tone skin, relaxing mud wraps that let you sweat out toxins and cauldron-like bubbling Hydrobaths laced with liver-supporting essential oils.
Food comes in the form of minute portions of the vegetarian ‘hypotoxic’ diet (chosen for its power to shift toxic deposits), but the takeaway from this retreat is priceless; a vital energy reset and a bum that feels smaller than it was on arrival. O A six-day programme costs from approx £2,155, full board. A Deluxe Double Room costs from approx £1,250 per person for seven nights; palace.it
