Five treatments to enjoy at a Windermere spa
Many of our spa days and spa breaks in Windermere feature one or more treatments chosen by you from a menu of options. The choice will vary but a few you might get to enjoy are:
- Swedish massage: This is a gentle massage that soothes away tensions, with options that may include the full-body, head, or the back neck and shoulders massage.
- Deep-tissue massage: Forget the light touch Swedish massage, this one works deep into the muscles and connective tissue (you’ll likely feel it the next day!).
- Facial: A much-loved spa favourite that cleanses, exfoliates and moisturises, using tailored products designed to address specific skin needs.
- File & polish: An alternative to the classic spa manicure or pedicure, these express treatments shape the nails and care for the cuticles before a polish is expertly applied.
- Body scrub or polish: Keep an eye out for this indulgent all-body exfoliating treatment on the menu at selected Windermere spa hotels.
