This is the spa in its most basic form, which is not to say it is any the less pampering. Usually providing facials, massages and occasionally other treatments, they also often offer salon services such as waxing, manicures and pedicures. Day Spas are the ones you will find in city centres and residential areas, providing local clientele with brief but restorative treatments and repeat appointments. In most cases you will be in and out in anything from 30 minutes to two or three hours.Facilities can be more extensive than in your average Day Spa, with pools and thermal suites available either within the spa itself or as part of the hotel’s leisure centre. Spa Hotels, as opposed to Hotel Spas, are also becoming increasingly common, the former putting the emphasis on the spa with the latter being a spa partnered with an already established hotel.

Like the tropical and hallowed tree from which it got its name, the ‘Magical Rassian Spa’ offers visitors a Sanctuary for the Senses – a place for physical, mental and otherworldly restoration.This creates a rounded spa experience allowing the atmosphere of calm and relaxation to permeate throughout rooms, cuisine and activities. Guests will often be seen walking around the grounds in robes and slippers, attending either for the purpose of relaxation or as a boost to health. Not just about spa treatments, you will also find yoga, pilates and meditation on offer in many Destination Spas.
