You'll feel better by spa if you stay at a modern
luxury spa hotel
Jet pools, surge pools, saunas, massage, squash and
golf plus a healthy diet in an excellent restaurant - that's why the
modern spa hotel is so popular
Rising concerns about health, stress and fitness have led to an
increase in the popularity of spa hotels. Some spa hotels are located
near spa towns. Other spa hotels are developed specifically to cater for
fitness and health concerns. Some spa hotels concentrate on weight loss
regimes and are a favourite for people who want to lose weight. Other
spa hotels lay emphasis on beauty rejuvenation, health, fitness, and
body toning and stress relief. These programs extend for several weeks.
Spa hotels tend to have excellent dining and lounge facilities.
The planning of spa hotels includes the need to provide ample car
parking to accommodate the many day visitors and also the so-called
'wet' and 'dry' zones for the various activities within the spas. Spa
areas can be designed exclusively for the use of either men or women.
Pools can be arranged on different levels or simply separated by dint of
use of the treatment areas. Spa hotels have changing rooms and lockers
which are kept exclusively for men or women when taking showers with
associated washing areas and drying areas.
Spa treatments include plunge pools, jet pools and surge pools with
saunas, massage rooms and therapy rooms surrounding the pool area. Dry
areas include clubhouse facilities such as squash and golf plus rooms
for body toning and exercises. Wet and dry massage may be offered in the
spa hotel. These include aromatherapy, fango (use of volcanic mud) and
hydrotherapy plus reflexology and inhalation. Gymnasium equipment for
body toning exercises includes the treadmill, trampolines, stretching
and cycling machines. The spa hotel may also have mirrored rooms for
dancing, stretching, and toning plus bar and yoga exercises
A spa hotel will have a reception hall where guests are welcomed. There
may also be pro-shops within a gallery. Boutique services are also
available with beauticians and hairdressers located within the spa to
offer their services. The activities offered are rejuvenating and most
guests will leave the spa feeling refreshed and stress-free. Spas
offering weight loss or weight management may require the guest to
reside in the hotel for the period of the program and extended stay
discounts are offered for those wishing to benefit from such activities.
Massage and acupuncture services offered in a spa hotel can release
tension in the muscles and the
relaxing atmosphere clear the mind. Most guests will leave
the spa hotel ready to work and able to handle taxing situations much
more calmly. Beauty treatments and toning exercises increases
self-confidence. Skin care can be done through
treatments such as facials, skin peeling, and exfoliation of dead skin
and the spa hotels employ qualified staff for all these activities. Dance teachers and
toning instructors can guide you in your steps and exercise and aerobics is a
good way of losing weight if that is your goal.
With all the pampering you will receive, expect to enjoy
your stay at a spa hotel.
