The Spa Experience

There really is no mystery to a luxurious spa treatment – and the more you know, the happier you’ll be with the results! The whole idea of a spa break is to relax and rejuvenate the body from top to toe, so here are some tips to get the most out of your spa break in Ireland…

• Always enquire beforehand what your treatment entails and follow the therapist’s advice to get the best results. 
• Always mention allergies, medical conditions and medication when booking a treatment in advance, as this can sometimes affect the types of treatments you are able to have.
• When you arrive, ask for a tour of the facilities, just in case you may have missed out on something you might adore.
• Shower before treatments and give yourself as much time as possible before and after your treatment, so you can relax and enjoy the thermal and wet facilities.
• Wear loose-fitting clothing or a bathrobe with slippers (if provided) or your own flip-flops.
• Wear a swimsuit or bikini for balneotherapy, thalassotherapy and hydrotherapy treatments.
• Remove jewellery and make-up before treatments.
• Leave your mobile phone behind – you and other spa-goers will appreciate this!
• When your treatment is finished, allow yourself to relax before leaving the spa as you may feel tired or drained.
• Drink plenty of water and stick to light, fresh foods for 12 hours to prolong the benefits.
• Whatever your age, shape or size – the therapist has literally seen it all, so sit back, relax and be confident in yourself.
