Imagine being able to pamper yourself, without interruption or distraction. Imagine being able to book yourself into some place far away, with no one to bother you, and the only contact you have with other human beings centring around them making your day spectacularly, well, relaxing.

Welcome to the hotel spa break. These wonderful little excursions, which are becoming increasingly popular among those people who just want a little more out of their weekend (or longer) are easy to book, and very easy to enjoy.

However, it is not always clear what you are going to get when you arrive at your venue. It is for this reason that some people actually shy away from taking such a break. As amazing as this may seem, the reason for doing so makes it understandable. Some people just don’t know what to expect from such a break when it comes to treatments. This article will help to make this less of an issue.

A good and familiar place to get started is with the simple massage. These are offered universally when you go for a spa break. The massage is something that everyone knows about too. A spa break will always offer one. There are a lot of different kinds of massage, but the basic ones are the same, and they are a great way to start your break off. If you have a chance to structure your spa break and you have never really been on one before, it is worth asking for a massage to start things off. This way you won’t feel too out of your depth. It is a good way to unwind before the other treatments start too. It is always advisable to be as relaxed as possible before the break really kicks in.

Other popular and again not too exotic spa treatments include facials and manicures and pedicures. These are pretty standard fare in most beauty salons, and they are offered by every spa break you will go on. They may be a little more exotic in some of the more refined places, but the essential elements are there.

Salt glows and body wraps are now becoming more common in spa break hotels and venues, and these are excellent and very healthy ways to unwind and the recharge your batteries.

Then things get a little more exotic. You can take in a hot stone massage for example, which is invigorating, and certainly something you will never forget. After this you can have a go at some reflexology, which is something that not every venue will offer, but is definitely something you should take the time to check out.

Contact your venue and take a look at the catalogue of options that a good spa weekend offers. Again, if you’re new to it all, and just want to get a basic introduction, start with a basic body massage and then go into treatments like facials and so on. You’ll enjoy it, and pretty soon you will be hankering after a repeat visit, and sooner than you think.
