Plus-Size Spas and Spa Packages
Spas should provide a relaxing, pampering and stress-free experience for everyone. So, in this guide, we look at some issues relating to plus-size spas and highlight a few of our favourite spas and spa packages you might enjoy.
Why spas can pose a challenge for plus-size guests
Issues that may prevent some guests from fully enjoying a spa day include a lack of suitable facilities and amenities. One of the more common complaints is the unavailability of plus-size spa robes. Spas sometimes offer one-size robes designed to be used by all guests. However, this may not always work. Related to this is the provision of larger size towels and wider treatment tables.
How to identify a spa for plus-size guests
While all spas should welcome each and every guest and make them feel welcome, some spas go the extra mile to create an inclusive environment. At these spas, you’ll benefit from such facilities and amenities as:
- Plus-size spa robes and towels
- Wider treatment couches
- Dining chairs without armrests
- Spacious shower cubicles
- Private changing facilities
