Looking for a great reason to go to the spa? People with an interest in cooking, dancing or sexuality can find special spa events at resort spas and destination spas that cater to that special interest.
No matter what you're interested in, you can find a special spa event for you. They center around gardening, tennis, yoga, hiking, nutrition, spirituality even poker playing. Some spas have special sexuality programs for couples, teaching techniques for communicating more deeply about what you really want, and how to play poker. You can learn about obscure topics like aura-soma readings, past-life regression, and how mediums communicate with spirits.
The special spa events are usually themed weekends, but sometimes last all week or even all month. The key is that they offer programming that is not usually available at the spa.
The spa might bring in a special expert in a topic, or use someone qualified from their own staff. One advantage of going to the spa during a special spa event is that you will meet other people who have similar interests.
SpaFinder can help you keep track of all the special spa events organized by month, while the Destination Spa Group has lists special events at destination spas.
Before you book a stay at a spa to attend a special event, here are good questions to ask:
- What is the schedule for the special spa event? It might be just one lecture a day, or it might be an all-day intensive. Make sure you know what to expect.
- Who is speaking at the special spa event or in charge of activities and what are their qualifications?
- Are there any extra fees, or is it included in the cost of staying at the spa?
It's also good to know the difference between a resort spa and a destination spa, because the environment is very different. Once you have the answers, you can have a great time, with no surprises.
