A truly restful Christmas
By Christmas time we’re all usually in need of a little pampering to help get us into the festive mood, seeing us through the winter months in sparkly style. We aim to finish the year not so much with a bang as basking in unapologetic feel good factor, this might be the season of giving to our loved ones, but there’s no reason it can’t be a time for self-care as well.
From Christmas gift spa days and spa breaks to spa hotels for New Year's Eve on a whole new level. From pre-Christmas preparation to restful winter UK spa breaks from Boxing Day spa sales to New Year’s Day, and for those looking for winter spa packages that take you all the way through to spa breaks in January, we've got a spa break for everybody.

Never underestimate the power of touch to soothe the soul and help you unwind during the holidays. We can be so hard on ourselves – making judgements on our bodies and our achievements – a spa treatment can work wonders to relax tight muscles and soothe dry skin, but also to ease those internal tensions and feel the festive spa break joy. On one of our Christmas spa breaks, that makes a massage, a facial, reflexology or whatever else you happen to choose, so much more than a physical way to relieve muscle tension - it's a much deeper, powerful experience. From warming thermal facilities to a little winter sunshine, here are a few Christmas spa treatment ideas that are perfect for the chilly winter months…
Sun Meadow at K West Hotel and Spa
Regularly voted one of the UK’s best spas, K Spa has numerous unusual treatments and facilities. The luxurious Sun Meadow treatment room is one such example, featuring specially designed UV lights for light therapy treatment. Whilst the sound of birdsong and a running stream fills the room, spa goers relax under gentle lights that feel like spring sunshine, encouraging the production of Vitamin D and serotonin.

The Beach Hut at The Three Horseshoes Country Inn and Spa
The Beach Hut is a unique experience which replicates the positive benefits of being on a beach in the sun. You lie on a bed of warm sand, and the 25 minute experience takes guests from darkness to sunrise to peak sunshine and then sunset. It is ideal for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) to top up Vitamin D levels helping beat winter blues and this can even stimulate the metabolism.
