When you are planning to visit a Health spa or beauty spa, whether for the day or a longer vacation, it is a good idea to plan your treatments ahead of time. A simple phone call to the venue or visit to their website should provide you with all the information you need to make your choices and bookings where possible. This will ensure you maximize the use of your time and can synchronize your treatments with your partner, family or friends where desired.



Any quality, sophisticated Health spa or beauty spa will offer treatments that are unique and exclusive to them. An excellent example of this is the Earth Spa by Six Senses in Thailand. Not only is their décor and structure design an experience in itself, but their whole treatment regimen focuses mainly on the element of fire. They also have a policy of using only natural products, mostly sourced from locally grown ingredients. They have a philosophy of trying to balance your body through balancing the four elements within via your environment and body treatments.

There are also certain treatments for relaxation, rejuvenation and healing that are available across the board at all spas. Massages, Facials, Pedicures, Manicures and reflexology are almost always available. Each health spa or beauty spa will have a certain product line they prefer to use and promote that will often have some fantastic natural ingredient to assist in the rejuvenation process. Kelp, Mineral Salts, Clays and Waxes are often used to clean, scrub and exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. Some beauty spas have hair salons and waxing available, as well.

Most destination spas and Resort spas will offer fitness regimens to their guests as well as the health spa. The setting of the venue determines what is available. A quieter, bush atmosphere surrounding the health spa will mean bush-walking, horse riding, outdoor meditation and yoga, stargazing and even musical shows. If the location is more suburban or central city, they will be more likely to offer aqua-aerobics and circuit classes in the fitness centers or gyms. Whatever is on offer, it is a great idea to include exercise and fitness s part of your weekly health spa routine as it will enhance the release of toxins, elevate your mood and make you even more rejuvenated.

As the name suggests, every health spa has a Spa. The concept originates from bathing in natural springs to improve health and well being and all spas involve some contact with water. Pools, Saunas, Steam rooms, Cold dip pools and lap pools are all fantastic, but nothing quite compares to the benefits received from spending time in the spa itself. The water jets get the circulation going and encourage skin renewal, they also help with cellulite and aches and pains. Soaking in warm water is an excellent form of relaxation and great to encourage healing if you have an injury.

There are so many wonderful and luxurious health spas, massage spas and beauty spas in Asia with their own individual, unique formulation of spa treatments and programs. The best thing you can do is research extensively in the areas you are interested in staying. As soon as you see the options available to you, you will probably want to book in straight away to begin your spa journey as soon as possible.
