A spa vacation literally starts from the moment you start making inquiries about the best possible destination for the same. In order to enjoy the total spa experience and get the maximum out of your spa vacation, here are some handy tips that would help you plan your vacation properly.
Choose according to Personal Tastes
The Spa has a generic meaning and does not conform for one particular standard alone. A spa can be a two-room facility in a small salon or an exclusive retreat complete with lectures, workshops and fitness classes. So choose carefully. When searching for a spa, opt for the ones that would suit your requirements and budget. What is the occasion? Is the vacation with friends or family? Do you want it to be a romantic rendezvous? Write down your requirements first and start hunting afterwards.
Choose according to Experience
Always choose a spa that has at least a few experienced therapists. Experienced therapists know their job well and would go to great lengths to ensure that their clients are pampered to the core. Others would just go through the process like a chore. So check for experienced therapists who would be kind, considerate and attentive rather than intimidating. Get recommendations from friends, colleagues and family members. Also, check of the membership with a reputable spa association.
Choose according to Packages
Before booking a treatment at a spa, ask for any packages that the spa would offer. Some spas tend to offer packaged treatments at reduced prices, meaning you can get more for less. For instance, you can opt for facial, massage and pedicure in a single package that would cost less than if you were to choose these treatments separately.
Choose according to Extras
Every spa would offer some extras along with the package you book. If you are looking for a complete spa experience, try choosing the spa according to the extras it provides. For instance, some spas would offer wet/dry saunas, fitness rooms, plunge pools, lounge areas and aromatherapy rooms for their guests as part of the package. Some others also tend to package different treatments as extras (for ex: a facial combined with a head massage) as well as the creams, potions and lotions used in those treatments.
Choose according to stay options
Did you know that some spas let you stay in the premises for an entire day irrespective of the number of treatments that you book? You can easily book a single treatment and then enjoy the rest of the day working out in the gym, swimming, steaming in the sauna or lounging around.
