Tips for Selecting a Destination Spa

Destination spas are excellent for traveling alone and although there are not many discounts to be found at spas, knowing what to ask for will make the most of your visit.

  • Rates vary seasonally — try desert resorts in the summer and beach resorts in the winter.
  • Arrive early to make the most of your visit and ask for a tour at the outset.
  • Request the "most requested" treatments.
  • Before you arrive, prepare your body to release toxins during your massage by:

    • Drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day
    • Eating more fruits and vegetables
    • Cutting down on sugar and salt

  • Finally, if you have a heart condition check with your doctor about any heat-related or invigorating treatments.
