Day Spas

Day spas are sanctuaries of health, beauty and wellbeing, sometimes called metro-spas, urban spas or drop-in spas. If you are looking to treat yourself, these are the perfect escape from your nine-to-five. Like a mini-vacation, you can book into a day spa for the whole day to use the facilities or just pop in for a one-off treatment.

Day spas can be found anywhere from suburban shopping centers to boutique city locations. While some day spas are very compact with just a reception area and a couple of treatment rooms, they can be much larger with a full-complement of facilities including a swimming pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, yoga studio, fully-equipped gym and a number of treatment rooms. This means you can combine a couple of treatments with a workout in the cardio suite, perhaps a pilates class and a long soak in the hot tub. Overall, the emphasis is on creating a calm, relaxing environment where you can kick back, relax, have a treatment, steam yourself crinkly and leave feeling rested and rejuvenated.

Most day spa treatments fall into three main types - those that relax you, those that beautify you and those that do both! Among the most popular treatments are facials, manicures, pedicures, waxing, knot-busting Thai massage, relaxing Swedish massage. head massage, skin-nourishing body wraps and exfoliating body scrubs. Many day spa treatments are designed to remedy the damage a busy life can do to your skin, hair and nails, but often there are also more 'alternative' day spa therapies on offer such as reiki, reflexology, EFT and light therapy. Your treatment will take place in a separate treatment room where you can relax in peace and privacy.

A day spa is the perfect way to spend a bachelorette party (and a great warm-up for the night ahead). Whether you're trying to organise an event like a team building day for your colleagues, a bonding session with your mom or you just want a day of serene relaxation on your own, you'll find a day spa ticks all the right boxes.
