What if something happens while I travel?
- What if I get sick while traveling?
- What if I suddenly have to go into quarantine in the country of travel, even though this was not the case when I booked?
- What happens if I test positive at the airport?
- What happens if I test positive during the trip?
- Do I need travel insurance?
Insurances are a great cautionary tool to help mitigate unexpected events from ruining what should be a relaxing vacation. Travel in peace knowing that you are covered in the unlikely event that something happens. Whether you fall ill before traveling or even while at your destination, rest assured that the costs of the best medical care available will be covered for you, along with any cancelation or rebooking fees. The only thing you should have to worry about when you have good insurance is getting better!
You can either book the insurance via SpaDreams or privately through a trusted local insurance company. Many credit cards also offer travel insurance for holidays purchased with your card. Make sure to check with the institute that issues your card before booking.
The most important types of insurances will need to cover cancelation and rebooking fees in case of illness, an international travel health insurance (often through your health insurance company), as well as covid insurance at various destinations.
Various countries, such as Sri Lanka or Mauritius, expect tourists to purchase the mandatory Covid insurance prior to arrival. These are usually very affordable insurances that are to be taken out in addition to any private travel health insurance you may already have and will only help cover any costs incurred in the unlikely event that you get infected with Covid at your destination.

When you book with SpaDreams, you don't just pick a hotel, you get the expertise of our travel experts on top of it. We have gained a lot of experience in the daily operations of travel during times of Corona. We combine our accumulated knowledge in a team of more than 100 people who work together to make sure that you can travel with ease.
We have the latest information on travel and Corona, as we monitor the entire travel market including travel restrictions and quarantine regulations of countries and hotels. Because for us, a feasible trip is, usually, a trip without quarantine. In strong cooperation with our hotel partners we try to make as many trips as possible come true. Naturally, always taking into account the current pandemic events.
How do SpaDreams partners and hotels ensure my safety while on holiday?
- What happens if another guest tests positive in my hotel?
- Can I leave the hotel in the destination country?
- Can I use the beach, bar, pool, sauna, spa, etc. in the destination country?
- Can all treatments according to the program description take place at all?
- Is the local staff vaccinated or tested?
- Do I have to wear masks on site?
Through maintaining close contact with our hotel partners, we always stay up-to-date with local regulations and hygiene requirements - such as mandatory masks. With regard to hotel offers such as pool, sauna, spa or beach visits, we try to stay current for every booking. However, since the situation on site can change incredibly quickly, we may sometimes miss something. Just like us, our hotel partners do their best to provide all services. The safety of the guests as well as the staff is of great concern to our partners and they do everything they can to ensure this safety.
The treatments usually take place as described in the program, but there may be exceptions, for example, facial treatments or special offers. In these cases, alternatives of similar value are often offered. We ask for your understanding if some activities - for example sports courses or external services - have to be cancelled on short notice.
What is a secured payment certificate?
- What is a security certificate?
- What happens if the tour operator goes bankrupt before I go on holiday?
With SpaDreams you are completely covered. Every package tour you book with us is automatically covered by the German Travel Security Fund (German: Deutsche Reisesicherungsfond), which is backed by the German government. This means that the money you paid is secured even in the very unlikely event of insolvency. As proof that your package holiday is covered, you will receive the secured payment certificate, also known as the security certificate (German: Sicherungsschein) issued by the German authorities with your travel documents. Why in Germany? SpaDreams is part of the Fit Reisen Group, which has its headquarters in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
