This leads to a better immune system, which helps you overcome illness and fight off disease and other conditions. Investing in regular spa visits is about much more than pampering—it’s a holistic approach to maintaining your physical health, emotional well-being, and mental clarity.

Is it OK to leave a spa empty?
We strongly recommend that you never leave your spa empty for a period of 2 weeks or more. Leaving your spa empty can cause damage to the pumps, heater element, and shell. In many cases, you’ll get the green light to stay in the spa as long as you’re comfortable and feeling well. As a general rule of thumb, most hot tub sessions last between 15 and 45 minutes. If after 45 minutes you want to keep soaking, we recommend stepping out for a bit to give your body a break.If you turn off your hot tub, then the water can become unsafe as it is not being filtered correctly. If you do decide to turn off your spa, you must ensure that it is completely emptied so that no water remains in the pipes. Letting water sit for too long can damage your hot tub, which is not what you want.
Do you wear a bra to the spa?
Wear Comfortable Undergarments Choose a supportive bra that allows for easy movement and doesn’t dig into your skin. Wearing the right undergarments will ensure that you feel comfortable and confident throughout your spa experience. Visitors are expected to cover up using a robe/dressing gown between treatments and when in the spa’s public areas and must wear swimwear while enjoying the venue’s Jacuzzi and steam room facilities.Spas want their guests to be as comfortable as possible, so if you would prefer to arrive in non-restrictive garments, such as gym wear or lounge wear then that will be absolutely fine. After this, you will change and spend most of your time in a robe anyway.Many spas will give you the choice between wearing your own underwear, paper knickers, or nothing. Your therapist will tell you what’s expected. The important thing to remember, though, is that you don’t have to expose any bit of you that you’re not comfortable exposing.
Do you have to take off your clothes in a spa?
For massages and body treatments, ideally you disrobe completely (that means underwear, too). Most spas offer paper panties to wear during body treatments (like scrubs, wraps, or self-tanning)—they don’t cover much, but enough to provide a modicum of modesty. It’s up to you. Women usually remove their bras to allow the massage therapist to work on the back and shoulder area without getting massage oil or lotion on the bra. If your problem area is your low back, hips, buttocks, or groin, tight-fitting or large underwear can sometimes get in the way of massage work.TIPS FOR TAKING OFF CLOTHES FOR A MASSAGE Always leave your underwear on. Women should wear a bra and briefs / pants, while men should wear briefs / boxer shorts – imagine what you would wear to the beach. If you’re feeling uncomfortable taking your clothes off, talk to your massage therapist.Comfort is Key: Choose loose, comfortable clothing for before and after your massage. Less is More: You will be asked to undress to your comfort level for the massage. Personal Preferences Matter: Communicate your comfort level and preferences with your therapist.
