BODY THERAPY
Spa vacations - now commonly known as spacations - are an ideal short getaway when you need a break from everything. Not only will you return home totally rejuvenated, you'll also have been given the space and time to rediscover your inner beauty, while unleashing your outer goddess! To complete the perfect spa experience, travel with a group of gal pals and keep the following tips in mind:
- Pre-book treatments so you don't miss out on availability.
- Be prepared! Check if sarongs or robes are provided, pack flip flops, yoga gear and sunscreen.
- If you're staying at a private villa, enquire about in-house treatments - which are normally cheaper.
- Wear an old bikini when getting a massage. The oils may be doing great things for you, but they tend not to have the same effect on Lycra!
- A good therapist will customise treatments to your needs for maximum benefit, so be sure to communicate your requests before you start your treatment.
- Always give sufficient notice if you need to cancel an appointment to avoid paying a penalty.
- Savour light meals using local - preferably organic - fruit and vegetables and drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
- Pack something gorgeous for sundowners, or better yet - enjoy a girly afternoon browsing the shops for new finds once you're there.
- Remember, it's a vacation! So take it easy, allow everyone time and space to do their own thing and leave your alarm clock at home.
