Dublin

Situated on the East Coast of Ireland, the Emerald Isle's cosmopolitan capital Dublin is a top destination for a celebration, hen party or friends' get together for a Spa treatment or special make over. It's a great place to mooch around, shopping, stopping for coffee and taking in the lively Irish atmosphere.

Italian spas

The Beauty Boxes team don't mind admitting that they've got a penchant for all things Italian. (You may have guessed from the names of our most popular beauty cases and beauty trolleys such as the Rimini, Roma, Genoa and Milan).

Beautiful Bath

If you're a mum looking for some R&R, or simply want to treat your own mother to a special trip away, the city of Bath could be just the ticket. Bath has been popular as a spa destination since Ancient Roman times. The Romans were way ahead in the pampering stakes. The baths they built in the city are wonderfully preserved to see today.

New Year - New York

Looking to take your fabulous Beauty Box on a glamorous weekend away to kick-start the New Year? There's only one place the Beauty Box team head for when we need to keep up with the fash-pack - New York. It's the city where some of our favourite TV fashionistas reside (think Gossip Girl, Lipstick Jungle and, of course, Sex and the City), so shopping's a top priority.
