Whatever your age, a spa break is the kind of birthday treat that keeps on giving.

A chance to spend time with friends or a much loved parent, a treat to plan and look forward to with your partner, or an opportunity for someone else to give you the TLC you wouldn’t give to yourself. There’s more than one way to give a spa experience to someone you love for their birthday… here’s how…

Crabwell Manor

The birthday day surprise

If Hollywood has taught us anything, it’s that few things beat a grand gesture, and what could be more grand than surprising your loved on on their birthday with the news that they are off to a spa with their nearest and dearest?

A chance to relax, unwind and feel their best, you can tailor it to their preferences, whether they’re a health junkie who would like nothing more than a day of feeling fit and fabulous, or whether they would prefer a day of total decadence complete with a glass of champagne and afternoon tea.

ESPA at Corinthia

The ‘everything’s taken care of’ spa gift

Of course, some people like a little warning with their surprises… which we admit is a bit of a contradiction in terms, but hear us out. This is where you choose the break (Spabreaks.com spa consultants can help you find the right place if you’re not sure), you make the booking, you choose the treatments and you take care of all the details in advance.

However, you book it for a later date so the birthday boy or girl has the chance to look forward to it and plan the details… like finding the right swimming costume, or, if you’re going all out, the right outfit to wear at that Michelin star spa restaurant for dinner. Word to the wise - this kinda pressie works well with the romantic, luxury overnight variety of spa break.

BOOK A ROMANTIC WEEKEND AWAY

The spa break that keeps on giving

Everyone knows good things come in small packages, and to be honest the really good stuff comes in an envelope. On this occasion we’re not talking about cold, hard cash, but something even better - a spa voucher.

Choose a package or allocate some spending money, either way, there are three things that give a Spabreaks.com spa voucher an edge: 1.It’s a chance for the recipient to spend time looking forward to their spa break, which all adds to the experience, 2.They can choose where they want to go from a selection of more than 70 destinations across the UK, 3.They can choose a date that suits them best.
