Elysium: the Hotel NH Eurobuilding Spa in Madrid. My favorite Spas in Madrid.

Elysium was the second Spa I met in Madrid. Great one!

Very well located, address: Padre Damián, 23, 28036 Madrid Phone: +34.913431680, is close to Plaza Cuzco and Bernabéu Stadium. Opens every day of the year, Mon to Fry from 7.30 to 23.00, Saturdays from 9.00 to 22.00 and Sundays and holydays from 9.00 to 19.00.

The area of the Spa circuit is simply ... excellent! With jets very well located, a well balanced cold, warm and hot water. Vichy shower area very pleasant. Relaxation area with a wonderful view. Very well planned the whole area!

Of course they also have a massage and beauty treatments area. Here you can give a look to the services menu. The prices are from 143 to 247 euros each treatment, but they also include the Spa circuit at the price.

Plus all that, it also has a beach area, a paddle field and a gym where they offer activities such as indoor cycling, aquagym (water gym), Latin dancing, boxing, PowerFit, low-impact workout for people in middle age, yoga, pilates and stretching ... full of options as you can see!


Talking about prices… we´ll see… you know I believe that “quality has its price”. Otoh, the price is also a way to give more or less exclusivity to a service. Taking into account the previous, yes, the treatments price seems for me a high one but I should add that I haven´t try them, so, maybe once I try them I think they deserve the 100% of the price.

Talking about Spa circuit prices, they offer different options:
- You can join as a member with a yearly fee, that could be from 1110 to 1872 Euros per year, depending on if you would like to go to the spa whenever you want or if you prefer to go just from Monday to Friday, or just on weekends and holidays. Whatever option you take, you can stay at the spa with no time limits, also to use the gym and to take part of the programmed activities like yoga, Latin dancing, etc.; to use the beach and to have a locker and to use 2 towels per day plus a 10% of discount to the different treatments.

- Travel fee: this option is for people that come to Madrid just for a specific period of time and would enjoy the spa during those days. The fee is 189 Euros per month having all the rights enlisted above.

- Day fee: if you prefer to go just time to time, maybe the one day fee is your option. It costs 33 Euros for a whole day, including your right of going out (for eating, for example) and coming back later the same day.
I know, at first sight the monthly fee could seems expensive… but let´s give a deep look on it: let´s suppose you go to the spa twice per week and you are not sure if you´ll go just during week days or just during weekends, so you take the expensive option, 156 Euros per month. In a month you would go at least 8 times. 156 divided 8 = 19.50 each time. Just taking into account the spa circuit that I insist is one of the bests I had seen in Madrid, the price is quite good, but remember that you also can go to use the gym, to participate in the activities such as yoga, Latin dancing, etc., etc., etc…. without paying more! You see, just Latin dancing, the less expensive in Madrid costs 30 Euros per month. And also remember: when you go to the spa, this is with no limited time.

Event to pay the most expensive option, the one of 189 Euros per month…. 189 divided 8 = 23.62 per day… plus Latin dancing, yoga, etc., etc., etc. :D

Yeap! Due Price and quality: one of my very favorites in Madrid! :D
