What Are Spa Weekends?
A spa weekend is a short vacation or break where the primary focus is rejuvenation and relaxation in a spa atmosphere. Spa weekends can be spent at a health or beauty spa that features overnight accommodations, but can also be re-created at home with a little effort. Weekend breaks with a focus on spa treatments can be a great opportunity to reconnect with friends, whisk away romantic partners, or just get some much-needed time to meditate and relax alone. Spa weekends can most easily be accommodated at a spa resort, where the entire focus of the resort is the spa program. Many of these resorts offer healthy meal plans and exercise classes in addition to spa services and facilities. Spa resorts often are centered on a natural warm spring, which are believed by some to have beneficial properties. Visiting a destination spa to bathe in warm springs is a centuries old tradition, when people in ill health were sent to “take the waters” in search of a cure.
