Spa Breaks - Going to heaven and back
 Imagine. You jump in the car with a girlfriend or two, whiz down the motorway, career round a few B roads or two and arrive at your beautiful spa destination.
It has to be the ultimate weekend away – lots of laughs, lots of pampering treatments and lots of luxury. And of course we have lots of expectations – and why not? If you are paying a good few hundred pounds, you deserve value for money.
The wonderful part of a spa weekend is hitting the “off” button. The phone is off, the laptop is off and you are off on a weekend of sheer enjoyment. It’s time for “me time” – so grab it girl!
Those survey people at Mintel tell us we are taking more than 200,000 spa and wellness breaks every year. That’s serious and we expect serious pampering. Lie back and enjoy – this may be the closest you will get to heave.
So what do we expect from a spa weekend? A luxury hotel – yes. A good gym and pool – yes. Oh and of course some fantastic beauty therapies – absolutely - yes. Every decent hotel now offers a spa and there are some fantastic offers available. One seasoned spa weekender admits to calling hotels on a Friday afternoon asking what is available. Why not try it?
A spa weekend is a great way to jump start a new health and fitness regime. Jump on the scales – face reality and stop telling yourself “I look OK” Oh, and on your way out of the spa, book another weekend in six weeks’ time and see how much weight you have lost.
Hoar Cross hall in Staffordshire has some great special offers on spa packages at the moment starting at just £159 per person on Friday (based on two sharing), or during the week £139 per person (again – based on two sharing).
And remember, if your finances don’t stretch to a weekend; why not indulge in a day spa? Champneys is offering a Spa Days from £100.You will still enjoy that feeling of wellbeing and float home on a magic carpet of self indulgence.
Keep an eye out in the national newspapers for special offers and indulge in that treat – we know you’re worth it!
