Hotels rather change the look of the spa (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

health resort

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'look of the spa' is the definition.
'health resort' can be an answer for 'spa' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'look of the' bit.

'hotels rather change' is the wordplay.
'change' is an anagram indicator.
'hotels'+'rather'='hotelsrather'
'hotelsrather' with letters rearranged gives 'HEALTH RESORT'.

'the' acts as a link.
