What to expect on a couple’s spa day or spa break
The inclusions in a couple’s spa package are tailored with two in mind.
A couple’s spa day in Yorkshire will typically include access to the shared facilities, so you can spend time together in the pool, Jacuzzi or thermal suite. You might also get to select a treatment or two from a menu of tempting options, such as a bespoke facial or soothing back, neck and shoulders massage.
Depending on the package, you might get to indulge in afternoon tea, toast with a complimentary glass of bubbly, or enjoy a shared treatment, such as a side-by-side couple’s massage or time in the Rasul mud chamber.
Meanwhile a spa break for couples will also include accommodation in one of the hotel’s guestrooms, so you can look forward to plenty of time to unwind. Many packages include breakfast and some even come with a delicious evening meal, so you can linger over dinner in the restaurant, then adjourn to the lounge for drinks.
In terms of location, as you’ll see below, we have superb couple’s spas across the region. We also feature a number of luxury spas and spa resorts.
