If you’ve never experienced the many pleasures of spending a few hours at a day spa, Phuket, Thailand, is the perfect place to get acquainted with the practice. There are different types of spas, but they all offer the same basic type of services. Most spas offer a menu of the different types of spa treatments they provide, including massages, baths, skin treatments, and beauty treatments like facials. You simply pick and choose the treatments you want.
Thai spas are all about relaxation and comfort, so you won’t be expected to remove all your clothes or be forced to endure any type of extreme treatment.
Discover the World-famous Traditional Thai Massage
Visiting a Thai spa on your vacation is a must-do activity, particularly for people who have never experienced spas before. The world-famous traditional Thai massage is the main reason for their popularity in Thailand.
Thai massage is a specialized type of massage performed slowly and steadily by trained massage therapists. It can be akin to meditation. The massage is designed to increase your range of motion while relaxing you. It slowly stretches your joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Thai massage also benefits your circulation system and can relieve muscle aches and pains. You’ll be asked to change into loose-fitting clothes supplied by the spa before a traditional Thai massage.
Other Types of Massages
Some of the different types of spa treatments and massages available at a Thai spa may include variations of the Thai massage that focus on your feet, back, shoulders, or head and face.
Gua Sha Facial Massage
Gua Sha facial massage is an age-old Chinese practice that uses a flat, rounded tool to gently stroke the skin, encouraging better blood flow and natural rejuvenation.
Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is a traditional healing practice that has been practiced in India for over a millennium. This therapeutic technique centers on relieving stress and tension in the upper body, especially the scalp, neck, shoulders, and upper back, where physical and emotional strain often accumulates.
Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy can also be included with the massage. In an aromatherapy massage, you’ll be offered several scented oils that each have different properties, including pain relief, anxiety relief, or rejuvenation. Simply choose the one that offers the benefits you seek (or one with a pleasant aroma), and the oil will be rubbed into your skin as you are being massaged. The oil can also be added into a diffuser for an extra sensory boost.
Foot and Leg Massages
Thai foot and leg massages are also popular. These foot massages combine ancient Chinese reflexology principles with ancient Thai massage techniques to alleviate the feet and legs of active tourists.
Relaxing Baths
Some spas offer a range of relaxing baths. These baths benefit the skin while warming up the muscles and tissues before a massage. The baths can include bubble baths, herbal baths, and milk baths. Milk baths, in particular, can be just the thing for your skin after spending a little too much time in the hot Phuket sun. They help soothe skin and reduce inflammation.
Refreshing Spa Treatments
Many spas also offer a range of spa and beauty treatments. Simply pick and choose the type of treatment you want to experience, and you’ll emerge from your spa session feeling and looking your absolute best.
Spa and beauty treatments can include a variety of body scrubs, herbal compresses, deep cleansing skin treatments, skin exfoliations, and facial treatments.
Packages and Couples Spa Sessions
Some spas offer packages that combine spa treatments with a massage of your choice, or a Thai massage that focuses on different parts of the body. This can be a good way to experience a variety of treatments during one spa session.
Most spas offer a wide range of treatments and packages that can make a spa visit an hour-long affair you’ll easily become used to and want to enjoy frequently during your Phuket vacation.
Spas also offer spa sessions for couples. These sessions can be the ideal way to spend time together with someone you love, especially for a couple on their honeymoon in Phuket.
