Resort Spa
It’s a fact: life, these days, is stressful. Just think of how much of your
life you spend doing things for other people: your boss, your employees, your
partner, your parents, your kids. Now think of all the health benefits you would
get from doing something just for you. If you could have just a few days to
relax and free your mind of day-to-day worries, you’d come back refreshed, graced
with a new perspective, ready to tackle daily pressures with a brand-new sense
of inner peace. That’s what a resort spa is for. A resort spa offers a variety
of treatments designed to improve your health and your mood. Lie back and think
happy thoughts while your skin, muscles and mind enjoy a wide range of treatments.
These treatments might include:
- Therapeutic Massage
- Custom Facial
- Body Wrap
- Private Yoga Session
- Herbal Bath
- Hand and Foot Treatments
- Hair Treatment
- Water therapy
- Herbal Body Polish
- Herbal Body Scrub
- Fitness Training
- Aromatherapy
Most resort spas offer day, overnight or several-day packages. Of course, sometimes
you simply can’t have all that time to yourself—or you might not want it. You
might have children to take care of. You may be in the mood for a romantic getaway
with a partner, or you might want a few days to relax with friends. At the same
time, you want to be free to try all the treatments the resort spa has to offer
without worrying about whether those you brought with you are having a good
time. Here’s how a resort spa differs from other spas: unlike regular day spas,
which focus almost exclusively on beauty, health and/or relaxation treatments,
resort spas are generally family-friendly and offer a wide range of activities.
There’s something for everyone: women and men; young and old; children and parents;
the calm and the active. You can have a day full of physical activity followed
by a day of relaxation; you can alternate between treatments for beauty and
treatments for the mind. A resort spa offers you so many options. And all the
while, you don’t have to worry about those you brought along with you, because
they’ll be enjoying themselves just as much as you are—if not more!
In addition to the various spa treatments, many resort spas often also offer
activities such as:
- Fitness classes
- Swimming
- Tennis
- Horseback riding
- Water sports (weather permitting, of course)
- Nutrition counseling
- Pilates
- Yoga
- Dance class
- Neuromuscular Integrative Action (NIA)
- Wine tasting
- Golf
- Cross-Country Skiing (weather permitting)
- Hiking
- Biking
- Rock Climbing
Most of the spa treatments are restricted to individuals over the age of 18.
However, those under this age can find plenty of activities to enjoy at a resort
spa, too. Many resort spas have children’s centers with a wide range of fun,
organized activities, such as:
- Face painting
- Movie days
- Swimming
- Arts and Crafts
- Drama
- Sports
- Dance classes
Resort spas are also great spots for corporate retreats, romantic getaways,
bachelorette weekends, weddings and other special events. Many resort spas also
offer special discount packages related to special events—for example, bridal
or honeymoon packages.
