Make your next date night a spa date night

There are seven days in the week but how much of that time do we get to spend with our partners?

Whether we are in long-term relationships, living together, are married or newly dating, the amount of time that we get to spend with our other half can be limited amongst all of life's daily obligations, and evenings are often wasted slouched on the couch.

While we might not be able to create more time however, we can create quality time, especially when you turn a regular night into a spa date night. Instead of going home and sitting in front of the TV, or going from the office to somewhere that's simply convenient for dinner, maximise every moment on a spa evening with all the trimmings.

Giving you the time and space to relax and unwind together in beautiful surroundings, swim, sauna and steam, maybe have a massage and even enjoy dinner for two with a glass of fizz. With spa evening packages you can make the most of those hours after work thanks to a variety of different experiences, destinations and details to enjoy with your favourite person. Here are a few spa date night favourites to get you started.

Grand Indulgence for Two at AIRE Ancient Baths London

AIRE Ancient Baths London is a haven in the heart of London and the perfect place for a romantic evening with your partner. A place that's made for indulgence, it's just minutes away from Covent Garden for an after work date night without compromise. Enjoy a world of thermal facilities amidst impressive historic architecture and seductive lighting, inspired by ancient and authentic wellbeing.

With their Grand Indulgence for Two you can have an evening of decadence together, complete with time using facilities, a 75-minutes full body massage with lavender oil in an exclusive massage room for two, a 15-minutes foot massage each and either fruit juices or Cava to toast time together.

Take the Evening Off at The Municipal Hotel & Spa - MGallery

In an iconic building that was once the home of Liverpool City Council, visitors to the The Municipal Hotel is a magical destination that was made for memory making.

Twilight Sky Pass at Shangri-La The Shard, London

For those spending time in the City, Shangri-La The Shard, London is an awe-inspiring destination from which to watch the metropolis settle into the evening.
