Spa Travel
Here are some good sites that cover
spas worldwide. There are
three general types of spas: the day spa, the destination spa, and the
resort spa. There are many subcategories of these three main types. In
addition, a forth type, the "medispa", short for medical spa, is beginning
to emerge. Day Spas are spas you can go to for a day but
do not stay overnight. They offer massages, facials and body
treatments. Some resort spas are also open to local visits on a day basis. Any spa is designed to improve your mental and
physical well-being.

| A Day Spa is a spa you can go to for a day but
do not stay overnight. They offer the normal basic spa services such as
massages, facials and body treatments. |
A Destination Spa is designed to
help you lead a healthier lifestyle through spa treatments,
exercise, exclusive spa cuisine and educational briefings. You
will normally stay at least two nights and some spas have
minimum stay of three to seven nights. Meals, classes and spa
treatments are part of the package price. |
A Resort Spa is
located within a resort and you buy your
spa treatments a la carte. You usually have to pay extra for
yoga and other classes. The restaurants will offer spa cuisine
-- but also regular menus. |
A Medispa
offers traditional spa services. In addition it offers
treatments that require a doctor's supervision, such as laser
resurfacing and Botox injections. |
