Five treatments to enjoy at a Cheltenham spa

Once you’ve chosen your perfect spa in Cheltenham, it’s time to decide on the right spa package. Many of our Cheltenham spa days and overnight spa breaks feature one or more treatments, either inclusive or chosen from a menu of options. While these will vary between venues, here are just five popular options:

• Full-body massage: Maybe the ultimate spa indulgence, the full-body massage melts away tension and stress from head-to-toe. It’s just one of many different types of spa massage you might enjoy during your Cheltenham spa escape.
• Personalised facial: Involving several stages, including cleansing and exfoliation, a spa facial tailored to your specific skin type can improve the look and health of your face and neck. Some spas in Cheltenham will use techniques and products by leading spa brands, such as Elemis and ESPA.
• Body wrap: Offered with select Cheltenham spa packages, this pampering treatment works to condition, detoxify, tone and tighten the skin. You might also have the option of a body polish treatment, which involves gentle full-body exfoliation.
• Spa manicure: In a spa manicure, the hands and nails enjoy some much-needed attention, including massage, cuticle and nail shaping, and application of polish. An alternative is the simpler file & polish (for the fingernails or toenails), an “express” spa treatment that tidies up the nails and cuticles before polish is applied.
• Spa pedicure: Involving similar stages to the manicure, the pedicure is a great way to pamper the often-neglected feet, toes and toenails. Manicures and pedicures are also good for people who are a little anxious about undressing for a spa treatment or prefer one that is less “hands on”.
