Spa Ritual

So near and yet so spa

The very concept of a luxury holiday walks in hand with the mention of spa retreats, or spa orientated hotels.

Because, think about it for a moment, holidays are all about escapism and indulgence.

Many people want a 'doing' holiday, but I suspect many others are like me and view holidays as a means to get away and do very little other than rest, recuperate and unwind.

Does indulgence always equal something bad like over eating?

When looking towards indulgence some people like to combine the usual holiday rituals of eating, drinking and general merriment with a more balanced approach where the gymnasium and the spa help to alleviate any pangs of guilt from those aforementioned pleasures.

I feel that the spa breaches the gap between pleasure and guilt, being both hugely enjoyable as well as great for your own vitality. Soothing massages, relaxing facial treatments, body scrubs and hydrotherapy circuits are a great way to unwind after a day in the sun, offering the perfect ‘holiday for your body'.

Many top hotels will feature a spa on their premises – but quite a few featured branded hotel chains can offer a spa concept where this is the central focus of the hotel, often supported by spa cuisine restaurants where your treatments can be balanced by your intake of healthy and nutritious meals.

One such brand is the Six Senses hotels principally covering the Far East, with several outstanding resorts in Thailand – but also in desirable holiday destinations like the Maldives and Oman.

Six Senses resorts are all five star across the board – and offer sanctuary for the body and mind with the opportunity to discover treatments utilising locally sourced ingredients with traditional rituals put in place to soothe and revitalise.

If you've never had a spa treatment before and this is your first time, you'll all of a sudden have extremely high standards of expectation four your second visit!
