Pure oxygen is well known for its restorative properties and you can now experience a unique Sparience Oxygen Bubble treatment in Spain - perfect for injury recovery or to combat stress. Best of all, it costs just 24 Euros, around £21.

The Gran Hotel La Florida’s ZenZone Spa, Barcelona, offers the treatment, which involves lying on a smooth sculpted AlphaSphere bed, combining colour, shape and light with sound, vibrations and warmth inside a giant bubble that is filled with 99.5% oxygen.

The pure air experience is relaxing and also restorative, boosting the body’s natural mechanisms that eliminate toxins and dead cells, optimising the recovery process following physical exercise and providing a natural anti-aging treatment.

Book a wellness break from 215 Euros (£188) per deluxe room per night, which includes a 30 minute "Sparience" treatment for one person, a 50 minute "Cool Therapy" treatment for one person, free access to ZenZone Spa, welcome drink upon arrival and buffet breakfast at l'Orangerie restaurant, until March 2012.
