It’s official, 2017 is over and done with, and now it’s time to start taking stock and planning for the New Year ahead. Whether you’ve got a thousand and one New Year’s resolutions or just want to carry on the way you’re going, chances are, you’re going to want to usher in the New Year rightly.
Sure, you had a great New Year’s eve night, probably with plenty of drinking and merriment, but the best way to get geared up for the year ahead, to restore, de-toxify and prep yourself is always going to be a spa getaway.
Relax and Recuperate With a Spa Break
Winter is pretty stressful, when you get all the festivities and fun stuff out of the way. When you’re in this boring, icy and bleak bit of early January, where there’s not much to look forward to, and summer feels a million miles away, it can be all too easy to feel stressed and unhealthy.
Let’s not forget all the traditional drinking and eating you’ve just gotten through either. You’re not going to be feeling great on that front, so a spa getaway detoxifying your system could be just what you need to get you feeling great again.
Treatments like massage and sauna have great relaxation and detoxifying properties, but there are relaxation and detox specific spa breaks out there, if that’s what you’re predominantly after.
Beat the January Blues
Ever heard of SAD? Seasonal Affective Disorder? It’s a fairly common condition where you start to feel depressed and lack motivation as the season changes into winter. With the cold uninviting weather, the lack of daylight and the sheer greyness comes bad moods, stress and anxiety.
That gets even worse in the period right after New Year’s. This is the single worst and dullest bit of the whole winter, but there is something you can do to beat those January blues and start feeling yourself again.
A spa break gives you something fun to look forward to, a chance to bond and reconnect with your best friend or partner, all on top of a series of great beauty and health treatments and services. A great spa location will also boast a quality range of delicious, healthy food, and a gym, so you can keep on top of your fitness, while having a great time.
Don’t forget, it’s also a holiday, so any cities or rural areas you’ve ever wanted to go explore, now’s your chance! Just combine it with an amazing spa retreat, and away you go.
Beautify and Look Amazing
Feeling gorgeous can sometimes be hard to come by in these long, grey months, but after a weekends spa treatments, featuring manicures, pedicures, vitamin creams, facial treatments, and a whole host of de-aging and revitalising options, you’re going to be feeling ten years younger, and more importantly, looking it!
Keep Up With Your Resolutions
Doesn’t it feel great when you’re coming up with your resolutions, stating ‘I’m going to do that, or that’, but then when it comes to giving up booze for a month, or losing a bit of weight, it’s suddenly not quite so easy? It’s all well and good dreaming about your New Year body, but when it comes down to getting up at six and going for a jog in the bitter cold, it’s just not that compelling.
That’s where a spa getaway can come in. There are plenty of specialised, amazing spa options that cater precisely to helping you get fit, get stronger, or lose weight. There’s a lot of great options out there to choose from, enabling you to keep hitting your resolution goals.
It Doesn’t Have to Be That Expensive!
There’s this misconception about spa breaks that they have to be super expensive, which doesn’t necessarily have to be true. Sure, you can spend an absolute bomb, but you don’t have to.
If you go online, and have a proper look, you can find all kinds of deals, vouchers and coupons on spa retreats, especially around this time of year in the sales, and if you’re clever with your booking, you can also find amazing deals on travel too! See, it doesn’t have to break the bank!
You’ve Got Tons of Choice
Lastly, let’s not forget that here in the UK, you’ve got an absolute ton of choice when it comes to picking your destination. From spectacular countryside, to ancient towns, to buzzing, futuristic cities, we really do have it all, so get looking!
