Victoria Beckham took to Instagram this weekend to share a post from a wellness week that she had jetted off to in Germany. Victoria's caption read 'Back from a week of wellness at the amazing @villastephaniebadenbaden @brennersparkhhotel!'. Victoria is no stranger to the retreat, her last visit - to out knowledge - being the same time last year when she was accompanied by husband and fellow health obsessive David Beckham. Then Victoria posted an idyllic picture of the two together to her grid with the caption, 'Postcard from our wellness week in Germany! Kisses @davidbeckham xx @villastephaniebadenbaden @drharrykoenig'. It goes without saying that Villa Stéphanie has long been on our radar and any Victoria-Beckham-approved wellness retreat deserves our full attention and a comprehensive explainer. Scroll on down to learn more about one of VB's favourite wellness destinations.
Villa Stéphanie describes itself as a 'Hotel, Spa & Medical Center in one - A complete House of Wellbeing situated next to the Black Forest'. That'll do.
Victoria Beckham mentioned Dr Harry Koenig who, according to Villa Stéphanie, 'creates personalized therapies for you based on naturopathic medicine in association with the finest clinics and one of the best and most highly trained specialists. Needless to say the Beckham's were likely treated to a little more than your average herbal tea spa massage!
