Kara Wildbur, 23, and her mum, Bethan, 50, flew from Manchester Airport to Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport, Romania, arrving at 11:25am.

The pair then heading straight to the Therma spa - which set them back £64 altogether - and then went to the hotel which cost them £94 in total.

For flights, accommodation and the spa, the weekend trip cost the pair £315 - cheaper than the £400 spa day in the UK.

Kara, a travel content creator, from Denbighshire, Wales, said: "I was trying to look for a last minute spa weekend in the UK."

"I found a spa near me, for a night stay, with treatment and afternoon tea it would have cost us £200 each."

"It shocked me, I didn't realise how expensive it was going to be."

"I started looking for spas abroad and found this one in Bucharest for £64 for the two of us and got it booked."

Kara and her mum flew from Manchester Airport to Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport, Romania with Ryanair - the return tickets set them back £157

Once they arrived in Bucharest they headed straight to the spa and arrived within 30 minutes of landing.

While Kara and her mum were in the spa they visited the rainforest room for a full body scrub, went to the saunas and relaxed in the pools.

Kara said: "Mum absolutely loved it, it was one of the first holidays abroad for a few years."

"We pre booked out tickets before we arrived, they were two full day and all access packages."

"This included access to nine pools, six saunas, four wet saunas and 16 water slides."

After spending the day in the spa, Kara and Bethan went to the hotel and spent the following day travelling around Bucharest.

She said: "It was such a lovely day, we decided we wanted to explore and see what was out there."

"We did a walking tour of Bucharest, a tour of the market and had lots of nice foods."

The pair headed back to Manchester on Monday, March 10.
