Experience ultimate relaxation in Jordan

There are a number of great reasons to take a luxury holiday in Jordan.

Not only is the country a hotspot for people who want to see the hugely important historical landmarks such as Petra and Wadi Rum first hand, it is also the perfect place to go for some well-earned rest and recuperation.

Spa holidays have become increasingly popular in recent years and few destinations can compete with Jordan when it comes to pampering.

Aside from the huge array of luxury hotels that offer spas, travellers who want to ease their aching muscles will find that a visit to the Dead Sea is definitely worth their while.

The lake - famed for being the lowest body of water on Earth - has a salt content of around 31.5 per cent, which allows people to lie back and float around while reading a book.

Virtuoso Life magazine recently highlighted Jordan as an ultimate luxury tourist destination for 2012, suggesting that with the nation being so small, it is very easy to get between all of the main points of interest.
