Guests indulging in spa days or overnight spa breaks can take advantage of additional amenities such as the pool, steam and sauna room, Jacuzzi, gym, and more, enhancing their overall relaxation. Spa treatments within these packages encompass a diverse range of services, from indulgent facials and massages to invigorating body wraps, scrubs, and meticulous manicures and pedicures. Revel in the perfect synergy of spa indulgence and afternoon tea, promising a day of opulence and celebration.
What do you wear to afternoon tea?
Before heading to any venue for afternoon tea, it's essential to acquaint yourself with the establishment's unique dress codes. If there's a specific dress code in place, ensure you adhere to it for a seamless experience. In cases where no explicit guidelines are provided, embracing a smart casual attire is generally a safe and stylish choice. For gentlemen, a crisp white collared shirt sans tie, paired with either jeans or smart trousers, strikes the perfect balance. Women have the flexibility to express their style, ranging from tailored pencil skirts, chic dress pants, and adorned tank tops to the timeless charm of floral prints and the grace of tea dresses. Whatever the occasion, the key is to feel comfortable while maintaining an air of sophistication.

Massages
You will discover massages presented as an inclusive treatment in most of our spa days. These massages rejuvenate, firm, and tone the skin, proving beneficial in eliminating toxins. Among the most sought-after massages are:
- Head and Scalp Massage: Indulge in tranquility as skilled hands gently soothe and invigorate your head and scalp.
- Foot Massage: Melt away stress with a revitalizing foot massage, bringing relaxation from toe to heel.
- Neck Massage: Release tension and unwind as a skilled therapist eases the strain from your neck, promoting a sense of relief.

Facials
Your package may encompass various types of facials, each tailored to address specific skin problems and concerns. These facials cleanse, tone, exfoliate, and moisturise the skin, resulting in a revitalised and well-hydrated complexion. They prove beneficial for brightening dull, tired skin, while also balancing tone and texture. Some of the most popular facials are:
| Hydrafacial | HIFU Facial |
| Microneedling Facial | Microdermabrasion Facial |

Manicures and Pedicures
This is a favoured option among spa enthusiasts, especially for those desiring a more laid-back spa experience. Spa packages may present a choice between a manicure or pedicure, both involving similar stages - shaping and painting the nails, tending to the cuticles, and nourishing the skin with oils and creams. Each spa destination offers its own version of manicure or pedicure, often incorporating a distinctive touch to enhance the overall experience. When combined with hand and foot massages, the manicure and pedicure become exceptionally relaxing.
What to pack for your ultimate spa experience?
- Ensure you have your voucher with you on the day of your spa visit.
- Select comfortable attire for your arrival and for changing later or if dressing up for afternoon tea is required.
- Include an extra layer, like a jumper or hoodie, in case you feel a bit cool post-treatment or in the evening.
- Bring two swimsuits per person - one for using the wet facilities and another for your scheduled treatment.
- Pack a pair of flip flops for added comfort.
- Verify whether the spa supplies robes, towels, and slippers; bring your own if needed.
- If you plan to use the spa's fitness facilities, carry your gym kit, including trainers. Entry may be restricted without suitable clothing.
- Consider bringing personal toiletries like deodorant and makeup for use before departure. For resorts with outdoor pools, it's wise to pack sun protection.
What items should you not take to a spa?
It's advisable to leave valuables such as electronic devices and jewellery at home. While many spa locations provide lockers, it is recommended to check with your spa provider beforehand. Note that many spas function as mobile-free zones, restricting the use of devices in treatment rooms and communal areas. Moreover, arriving without makeup, with long hair neatly tied back, and choosing nail polish-free nails before manicures and pedicures is a considerate approach to preparing for your rejuvenating treatments.
What to wear to a spa?
Frequently, inquiries arise about what essentials to bring for a spa retreat, and this can be particularly daunting for those experiencing it for the first time. Here is what we recommend:
- If access to swimming pool is included in your package, then bring two swimsuits: one for swimming and another for treatment. Alternatively, you can have your treatment in your underwear. Feel free to ask your therapist for guidance to ensure your comfort during the spa experience.
- Pack a pair of flip-flops in case slippers are not provided.
- Prior to your visit, confirm if towels, robes and wash products are supplied; if not, bring your shampoo and other personal items just in case.
- Opt for comfortable attire suitable for having lunch or changing into after treatments, without worrying about any products getting on the fabric.
- If the spa is in a different location from the afternoon tea venue, check whether the restaurant has a dress code and dress accordingly.
What Facilities Does A Spa Have?
Each spa is different and has different amenities to offer. While facilities vary between venues, here are a few of the more common amenities.
- Swimming pool: Many spas feature indoor swimming pools, with some also offering outdoor heated pools for a varied experience.
- Sauna: Reaching temperatures of up to 100° C, saunas provide dry heat to relax muscles and stimulate the cardiovascular system; herbal saunas infuse dried herbs for additional wellness benefits.

- Tepidarium/Laconicum/Caldarium: Alternative heat therapy facilities with varying intensities, providing relaxation in warm environments.
- Jacuzzi/Hot tub/Whirlpool bath: These offer hydrotherapy to relax muscles and joints, with some spas providing outdoor options for a cosy experience in the fresh air.

What happens after the treatment is complete?
After your treatments conclude, you have the opportunity to make the most of your spa day by utilizing the inclusive health and fitness facilities. Whether you fancy a refreshing dip in the pool, a rejuvenating session in the sauna, a serene moment in the relaxation room, or an invigorating workout in the gym, the choice is entirely yours. If you wish to extend your pampering experience, you might have the option to book additional spa treatments later in the day, subject to staff and room availability. It is strongly recommended to secure advance bookings for extra treatments beyond those included in your chosen package to avoid disappointment and potentially benefit from cost savings, as advance bookings often come with discounts.
Why winter is the perfect time for a spa?
Wondering what is the best season to indulge in a spa? Look no further than winter - the ideal time for a rejuvenating spa experience. Combat the winter blues by giving yourself something to look forward to, providing a substantial boost to your mental well-being. The harsh winter weather can leave your skin dry and dull, making the healing spa experience a powerful remedy to restore its vitality. Indulge in the therapeutic benefits of massage, which includes increased circulation, pain relief, and immune system support - a perfect way to nurture your body during the colder months. Consider a one-day detox to kickstart your winter cleanse, sweating out toxins in nature-inspired saunas and steam rooms while nourishing your body.
