Spa Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea can be the perfect way to spend a few hours, whether for a celebration or just some stylish and elegant indulgence. It is also the perfect complement to a relaxing spa experience. In this guide, we take a closer look at your spa afternoon tea options and highlight our 10 best spas for afternoon tea.
What is afternoon tea?
Traditionally, afternoon tea features a selection of finger sandwiches, scones with cream and jam, and assorted sweet treats, all served with a pot of tea. However, as afternoon tea has increased in popularity, you can now find lots of twists, including more creative food choices and the addition of a glass of fizz. Afternoon teas are lighter than a full meal and are synonymous with elegance, making them the perfect accompaniment to a day of relaxation or celebration.
What is a spa afternoon tea?
This is simply afternoon tea that you enjoy as part of a spa day or spa break. Many spas and spa hotels offer afternoon tea (or cream tea) as part of a spa package. Afternoon tea can add a touch of extra indulgence to a day of pampering. A spa afternoon tea is also a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day, or any other special occasion.
