What does a full spa day include?

Spa treatments are designed to help enhance the relaxation and will include anything from massages and facials to manicures and pedicures.

Do you wear clothes under your robe at a spa?
This depends upon which treatments you have booked and the facilities you will be using. In general, you should wear swimwear or underwear underneath a robe. You may well spend much of your day switching between the swimming pool, jacuzzi or steam room, so it makes sense to have your swimwear already on. The most common spa treatments are massages, manicures/pedicures and facials. However, you might also see offered such treatments as a body scrub/exfoliation, a fingers or toes file & polish (like a mini manicure or pedicure) or a scalp massage.For most spa treatments, you can keep on your swimming costume or underwear. If you are having a back massage, you can wear knickers. Some treatments, such as Reiki and shiatsu, are done through your clothes. If in doubt as to what’s expected, ask when you book your treatment or spa day.
