Let’s face it, unless you have won the lottery or have a limitless disposable income, there’s a good chance that you need a break from those day to day stresses ever so often. One of the best ways to unwind for one, two, or several hours a time is to visit a health and beauty spa.

Spa Treatments “For Her”

Any and all spas offer package deals where you can combine certain spa treatments with others to create a completely tailored package that suits both your needs and your budget. Some of the most common treatments for woman you can expect to find include:

Makeovers: women can enjoy a celebrity style make over. This service is particularly helpful if you are going to a special event, such as a wedding

Aromatherapy: Aromatherapy is combined with several different styles of massages so that you can fully relax or rejuvenate

Hydrotherapy: using the “weightlessness” that water provides us helps relax and heal our bodies and minds

Champagne bunches and lunches: For the most pampering of treatments, add in a high-class champagne brunch and/or lunch.

Massage: Any number of massage techniques can be found in a spa, from Ayurvedic massage to hot stone massages to more traditional Swedish massage techniques.

Facials, manicures and pedicures, mud baths, and even some “light” surgical services (such as collagen injections or Botox injections) can almost always be found in any spa across the globe.

Spa Treatments “For Him”

That’s right; the spa isn’t just for the ladies! Men can enjoy a number of services as well to help unwind after a stressful week at the office.

Professional Shave: Men looking to get the closest shave possible should visit a spa. Many spas will combine the shaving with a total “grooming package”.

Waxing: These days men do not want hair on their chests, their backs, their knuckles, or a number of other places. More and more men are coming to salons and spas to seek waxing treatments to remove any unsightly hair

Manicures and Pedicures: Yes, men like to have nice, well-kempt finger- and toenails as well.

Massage: Above all else, men seek out a spa to get a true, deep tissue massage that they need after a stressful day. Men are offered the same massage services as women, though men tend to want to focus on the neck, back and shoulders whereas women focus on all-over body massages or facial massages

Couple Spa Treatments

Couples who both deserve a bit of pampering should ask about any couple “packages”. Usually you can get a great discount on the services you receive, and there are also a variety of other couple services available. Some of these include:

• Side-by-side couple massage
• Tantric massage
• Massage lessons (which may include a tasty massage oil)
• Private rooms for mud bathing

Many spas reside in a luxury hotel, and so you can also bag a great bargain on getting a room for a night (or two, or three) to fully round out the stress-free and relaxed experience.
