Last Minute Spa Breaks

Questions to ask when searching for your perfect spa holiday:

Type of break you want - do you have a specific interest or goal

There’s a reason that there’s hundreds and hundreds of spa breaks to choose from; they’re all different! Designed to bring the result desired to different people with different needs. Ultimately though, this is your getaway. Are you looking for something holistic? A detox? A weight loss specialist plan? Perhaps simply something calming? You’ll want to make sure you choose a retreat that matches best based on your goals.  

Budget

If you’re looking to for a last minute spa break but ideally need an affordable holiday then something closer to home can be a good start. Southern Europe, where the warm skies make the early months of the year pleasant to be outside in from Greece down to Tenerife with it’s all year round climate. For guaranteed sunshine in the winter months, Dubai can be the perfect sunshine get away you need and is within a single flight, often under 7 hours away.

Scene, setting & ambiance

Don’t forget, your surroundings and environment will ultimately impact the way you’ll feel when you wake up every morning – the view outside your window, the climate and the people you’ll meet will all be determined by where you go. Somewhere small and personal may be your preference, or a larger resort may be the most comfortable setting for you.  Make sure to choose a retreat that has the character and spirit you’re looking for.

What’s included?

Remember to check if your spa treatments are included in your package, and if so, which and how many. Are there additional fitness classes, yoga classes or guided hikes which are free? Or will you need to pay? What about your food? You probably often spend money happily on a meal and drinks, so when everything is included, suddenly the retreat you weren’t sure you could afford actually becomes great value.

Level of detox - or pre detox

If you’re thinking of choosing a spa break that is caffeine or alcohol free, you might wish to prepare your body slightly before.  At the same time, if food is a huge part of any break and you don’t want to restricted in any way, make sure to choose a spa retreat that does not omit any of your regular foods from it’s menu, or even any at all. A detox can even extend to digital, in which case you might wish to spend slightly less screen time with your phone in the run up to your break.
