Group Spa Days and Packages
While spas are the perfect setting for some much-needed alone time, they are also a great place to spend time with friends and family. So, in this guide we look at group spa days and packages and highlight some popular group spa treatments.
Types of Group Spa Days
There are lots of spa days and spa packages available for groups. These include general packages that you can enjoy at any time and those tailored for different occasions, such as:
- special celebrations (Mother’s Day and baby showers, etc.)
- girls-only getaways
There are also spa days and breaks designed especially for couples, either romantic experiences with a partner or simply some indulgence shared with a friend or family member.
The inclusions in a group spa package will vary, but often feature one or more treatments – either inclusive or chosen from a menu – plus access to the spa’s leisure facilities, which may include a swimming pool, hot tub, and sauna/steam room.
When a spa offers a group package, it often sets a minimum and/or maximum number of guests. Always check with us at the time of booking, so we can make sure the spa you choose can accommodate your party size.
Group Spa Treatments
If you book a group spa day or break, you are likely to have a choice of at least one treatment. Most of these treatments will be individual, such as a pedicure or facial. However, group spa treatments on offer may include:
- Rasul (or Rhassoul) mud treatment: This non-therapist treatment involves applying nourishing purified mud to your body as you relax in a communal steam room.
- Twin treatments for couples: Some spas feature dual treatment rooms, in which you can enjoy a treatment, such as a massage, side-by-side with a friend or partner. Find out more in our massages for couples guide.
- Thermal spa experiences: Some spas offer thermal suites, in which you and your group can experience the benefits of extreme temperatures (such as a steam room and ice cave). Find out more in our guide to thermal spas.

Spas for Hen Parties
Maybe the ultimate group spa experience, hen party spa breaks can be a standalone celebration or the perfect complement to a more full-on pre-wedding bash. A few hours, or even a couple of days, chilling out at a spa can be a great way to relax with friends, enjoy some pampering and prepare for the big day.
Many of our spas offer specific hen party packages, which come with a range of treatments, access to the leisure facilities and other goodies, such as a glass of fizz (inclusions vary). Overnight breaks will include accommodation and food options. Find out more in our guide to hen party spa breaks.
