Different types of Spa and their meaning

Posted on September 1, 2010August 23, 2010 by News Health

There are many types of spas — and it’s important to understand the difference so you get the experience you’re looking for. In general, a spa is a place where you can receive spa treatments, most commonly massage , facials, and body treatments . Spas are devoted to enhancing your health and well-being — though medical spas have a stronger focus

Here’s a guide to the different types of spas:

  • Day Spa. It offers spa treatments exclusively on a day-use basis. Many also offer salon services. Size and character can vary widely. The important thing here is to find out if the day spa is separated from the noisier salon environment.
  • Destination Spa. Its sole purpose is to help you lead a healthier lifestyle through spa treatments, exercise, and educational programming. You stay at least two nights. Some have minimum stays of three or seven nights. Spa cuisine is served exclusively.
  • Resort/Hotel Spa. It is located within a resort or hotel. It offers spa services, fitness classes and spa cuisine alongside less health choices like steaks and burgers. It’s a good choice when one person wants spa and the other golf. It also works for business travelers and families.
  • Medical Spa. It offers treatments that require a doctor’s supervision, such as laser resurfacing and Botox injections. It also offers spa treatments.
  • Mineral Springs Spa. It has natural mineral, thermal or seawater that is used in hydrotherapy treatments.
  • Club Spa. A day spa located in a fitness facility or health club.
  • Cruise Ship Spa Aboard a cruise ship that provides spa treatments, fitness and wellness components and spa cuisine menu choices.
  • Airport Spa It is located in an airport and specializes in short treatments aimed at the traveler, like 15-minute chair massage and oxygen therapy. Some also offer longer treatments.
