How to have a spa weekend at home

Share

If you want to be pampered but are too exhausted to leave the house, why not bring the spa to you? Follow our tips and we’ll show you how you can have an experience that just is as relaxing as any luxury weekend away without you having to leave your front door. Turn your phone on silent, put your out of office on, book a massage and get ready to relax unwind in the privacy of your home.

Create a calming atmosphere

Comforting smells and sounds are integral to a relaxing spa experience, so don’t scrimp on these when you’re recreating the feeling at home. Dim your lights and burn some incense or one of your favourite scented candles and play some calming music at a low volume.

Run a bath

Use your favourite essential oils and create your own personal sauna. Soak in some epsom salts and use your favourite organic body products as you relax in your tub. If you only have a shower, run hot water into the sink and use it to steam your face instead. When you’re finished put on your softest bathrobe and most comfortable pair of slippers for that cosy feeling.

Get a massage at home

Book a mobile massage therapist to come to your home and let them work their magic. They’ll set up their massage table and you can receive a professional treatment in your own space. Knead out knots that have been bothering you for weeks with a deep tissue treatment or just enjoy a simple relaxing massage to leave you feeling chilled out.

Meditate

To get that feeling of zen you experience after you’ve been to the spa, try to do 10 minutes of guided meditation. Pick one of our favourite mindfulness apps from our list, find a comfortable place to sit and try to channel a feeling of inner peace. Even if you don’t quite reach enlightenment it should help to elevate some of your everyday stress.

Get an early night

Once you’ve reached a state of peak relaxation, try and get to bed a couple of hours earlier than you normally would. Your body will be more relaxed so you should be able to drift into sleep easier and dream deeper. Hopefully you will wake up in the morning feeling just as revived as you would after a long weekend away.
