Part day spa breaks from brunch with friends to a swap out for after work drinks.
From brunch and a massage after the school run to pampering afternoons before it's time to pick up the kids, or swapping out after work drinks for spa after dark feel-good-factor, did you know that there’s such a thing as a part day, spa day?
Whether you want to get the best offers on the least busy days of the week, or you're short on time with a busy schedule, you can have it all and be your best self as well. Make every moment count, whether you're climbing the corporate ladder or being there for your bestie, you can still put yourself first with self-care that fits into your day.
Turn social gatherings into restorative retreats and make those 'in between' moments matter, by supercharging them the spa way with a part day.
Whether you want to maximise your holiday by taking half a day off work, or you want to make the most of each moment of your free time, a morning spa break could be the perfect way to supercharge your week. After the school run or before a big night out, take the time to rest, relax and recharge. Here's a little inspiration.
