A spa is a place to relax, have fun, get pampered and recharge your batteries. It can also treat medical conditions.
The word “spa” is thought to have been derived from the Latin Salus per aquam (health through water), although its roots go back much further. The ancient Romans believed that bathing in mineral waters was beneficial to health, and they built spas around natural hot springs. Later, these baths became recreational and therapeutic resorts. The modern spa experience is often inspired by these ancient ideas, but it has also evolved to include many other treatments and activities.
Full-service spas are the most common type of spa and provide a wide range of beauty, wellness and healthcare treatments under one roof. They typically offer a comprehensive menu of massages, body treatments and skincare services. They may also have facilities like jacuzzis, pools and saunas.
Most spas have a relaxing, tranquil atmosphere that is designed to help you relax. This is achieved with music, soft lighting and soothing colours. Some spas even have specific scents that are used to stimulate relaxation and wellbeing.
If you have never been to a spa before, you might be wondering what to expect. Most of the time you will be asked to change into a robe and slippers, which are usually provided for you. You will probably be given a towel and, if necessary, a hat or head covering. If you are using the spa facilities, it is a good idea to bring a swimsuit and a pair of non-slip flip-flops for walking around wet areas. It is also a good idea to bring a waterproof bag for your mobile phone and any valuables.
