How wellness is getting more personal

Wellness is getting more and more personal, from supporting women as they go through menopause to fitness breaks, spa breaks designed to nurture anyone who has experienced cancer, and wellness getaways for the eco savvy traveller. Here are some of the spas making wellness more personal. So, what do you need right now?

GenM Collection at Fairmont Windsor Park - supporting women during menopause

Menopausal symptoms affect over 75% of women and extend beyond the hot flushes and night sweats that are commonly attributed to the menopause*. Over recent years, awareness of the symptoms and effects of menopause has increased, as more and more women, including celebrities share their experiences and encourage others to do so. While professional medical care should remain at the forefront, tailored spa experiences for those going through the menopause can support relaxation and revitalisation at this time.

Fairmont Windsor Park’s GenM Collection package is specifically designed to support women during the menopause, whilst having the opportunity to share a spa experience with friends, partners and family members. Providing a day of relaxation and restoration, the package includes an 85-minute 48 Solutions Ritual and 15-minutes of Cryotherapy, as well as use of the extensive facilities, which include a hydrotherapy pool, outdoor hot tub, ice room/fountain, experience showers, pool, relax room, steam room and rasul.

The package also includes complimentary Yin Spa Tea, lunch at the dedicated wellbeing restaurant Greens Cafe, and a Sleep Dharma Pillow Mist spa gift to take home, as well as a sustainable spa bag, slippers, water bottle and gown to use during the day.

From £250 per person

Safe Hands for Cancer

An industry wide campaign supported by Spabreaks.com. Safe Hands for Cancer aims to make the benefits of spa treatments genuinely available to everybody. Spabreaks.com has worked hard on improving the spa experience for anyone affected by cancer since 2012, when one of its customers was turned away from a spa because she was undergoing chemotherapy.

Ever since, Spabreaks.com had worked on breaking down barriers, as well as campaigning for enhanced knowledge, improved training and greater understanding of the risks and benefits of spa experiences for cancer patients. With the goal of making sure anyone at any stage of cancer can enjoy a spa experience safely, easily and while enjoying spa therapies that most benefit their wellbeing at that time, the spa booking agent’s efforts have culminated in the creation of Safe Hands for Cancer.

With more than 70 spas to choose from, the Safe Hands for Cancer collection identifies spa destinations where therapists have had the right level of training to adapt treatments for anyone with or recovering from cancer, for their safety as well as making sure they receive maximum benefit from their treatment, ensuring whichever experience they choose, they know they are in safe hands.
