What is a spa day?

A spa day is the perfect opportunity to prioritise your wellbeing and enjoy some much-needed quality time to yourself. It’s a chance to escape the stresses of daily life and immerse yourself in a world of relaxation, pampering, and rejuvenation. Typically, you’ll spend a few tranquil hours in a serene setting, where expert therapists cater to your every need.

When you attend a spa day, you’ll have the chance to experience a range of treatments that can be customised to align with your wellness goals. Here’s a glimpse of the different types of treatments you may encounter:

  • Massages – from Swedish and deep tissue to hot stone and aromatherapy, massages effectively alleviate muscle tension, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.
  • Facials – these target specific skin concerns and often include treatments such as cleansing, exfoliation, masks, and moisturisation to cleanse, rejuvenate, and enhance your natural glow.
  • Body Treatments – these kinds of treatments normally include scrubs, or hydrotherapy which are designed to exfoliate, detoxify, and nourish your skin.
  • Thermal Journeys – offering various thermal experiences such as saunas, steam rooms, and cold fountains, these journeys are designed to promote circulation, relaxation, and detoxification.

The benefits of immersing yourself in a spa day extend beyond mere relaxation; it’s about achieving a balance between your physical and mental wellbeing. That’s because the tranquil environment of a spa helps reduce stress levels. Combine that with treatments like massages to ease muscle tension and reduce the production of cortisol (the stress hormone), and this leaves you feeling much calmer and more relaxed.

As well as this, spa days in the Lake District promote better sleep. When you indulge in spa treatments and thermal experiences, they induce a state of relaxation which contributes to improved sleep patterns and more restful nights.

Ultimately, a spa day offers an opportunity for self-care and a chance to recharge, resulting in improved mood, increased energy levels, and a greater sense of overall wellbeing.

What to wear to a spa day

Choosing comfortable clothing and footwear is key to maximising your Lake District spa days. Prioritising comfort ensures you can fully embrace your experience – think soft fabrics and breathable materials that will enhance your comfort and pamper you throughout and after your spa journey.

You’ll also want to pack a swimsuit so you can use pools and Jacuzzis with ease. Most spas, including The Holte Spa, will also provide you with complimentary robes to wear during your spa day, which not only adds a luxurious touch to an already serene setting but also provides you with a cover-up when moving around spa areas. We would also recommend bringing some sandals to wear throughout the day.

What to bring on a spa day

When going to spa days in the Lake District, there are some items you might want to consider bringing along with you to make the most of your relaxing experience. For example:

  • Personal essentials such as a hairbrush, hair ties, and clips
  • Travel-sized toiletries like deodorant, moisturisers, lip balms, and face wipes
  • A book or magazine to enjoy in the relaxation areas
  • A water bottle to stay hydrated – although water is available in the Thermal Suite
  • Extra clothing such as a hoodie or jacket, spare underwear, and flip-flops

These are some items you might want to consider bringing with you, but if you’re ever unsure about what to bring on a spa day, you can contact us directly – our team are happy to help!
