<strong>Spa</strong> Etiquette<br />
Opulent Surroundings<br />
Dedicated Concept<br />
Complete Experience<br />
If you’ve never treated yourself to a spa experience before,<br />
the idea of entering a different world might seem daunting<br />
at first. Don’t worry; it’s usually a straightforward process<br />
that will be explained to you during the treatments, but<br />
make sure to follow these few simple steps.<br />
Medical conditions need to be disclosed before starting<br />
any treatments.<br />
Forget your phone. It’s getting harder to disconnect from<br />
busy lives and demanding careers, but to get the most<br />
out of your spa experience, turn off your electronics and<br />
slip into calmness and peace.<br />
It’s important to find out in advance what the dress code<br />
is for your spa visit. Most simply require swimwear to<br />
be worn while you’re on the premises, while robes and<br />
slippers are generally provided.<br />
Booking into a spa shouldn’t be an ordinary experience.<br />
It’s a trip you take away from yourself as much as anything<br />
else. The best spas are found in opulent settings, whether<br />
nestled in stunning natural beauty or surrounded by fine<br />
furnishings and exquisite materials.<br />
Value of Owners<br />
The best spa experiences don’t just appear on their own.<br />
Some of the finest spas in the world are owner operated, if<br />
they’re not already part of well-established and high-end<br />
hotel brands. It takes a special type of owner to create a<br />
world-class spa.<br />
It’s not referred to as a “spa experience” by mistake. The<br />
ultimate spa doesn’t just give you a break from work or<br />
a busy schedule, but the opportunity to take a holiday<br />
from yourself. The most impressive spas worldwide have<br />
something in common – a dedicated concept. Whether<br />
it’s a holistic approach to full-body wellness, digital detox,<br />
or a specific focus like cryotherapy, the best spas don’t try<br />
to do everything.<br />
Usually associated with residential spas (but also<br />
something that even the best days spas do), your every<br />
need is catered for during your experience. From a<br />
warm welcome and health assessment by dedicated,<br />
professional staff to delicious food cooked on site, the<br />
best spa experience starts as soon as you walk through<br />
the door.<br />
