Day Spas

Day spas are now all over the UK in some really pictureseque settings. It is very easy to find suitable venues near you. But how do you know which ones are reputable. The biggest difference between day spas and spa hotels is that day spas will not offer any overnight accommodation, where as spa hotels will.

Typically day spas may include spas such as Saks salons with in the David Lloyd clubs, or Esporta clubs or Bannatynes health clubs, all of these are primarily health clubs but they offer great facilities and a beauty salons where you can enjoy beauty pampering treatments. These health clubs offer packages of treatments, lunch plus use of swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gym, so you can in fact enjoy spa day packages at very reasonable prices. Okay – it’s not the same as going to Champneys or another famous spa hotel, but it is great value, there will be a day spa near to you and you will have a nice day.

Day spas are also available with in spa hotels such as Marriott, de vere etc. These spa hotels do generally have superior facilities to that of health club spas. Many of the major spa hotel chains invest highly in their leisure and spa facilities, sometimes spending up to £10 million. Therefore spa hotels are great for spa days. Day spas with in spa hotels will offer a selection of spa packages to suit every budget. 

Day spas offer additional spa treatments a la carte, for example the day you have booked may include a package of 3 treatments, so you can then add to the packages. You may want to upgrade from a mini manicure to a de luxe manicure or you may want to increase your back massage to a one hour full body massage. This type of spa will always have an extra treatments list so it’s advisable you check this out before you arrive as spa treatments do get pre booked days in advance.

Finally day spas will give you a great introduction in to a spa experience, and after a visit to a day spa you may want to go for a little longer next time, maybe a one or two night stay over a weekend at a spa hotel.
