What is a SPA stay?
The word SPA most often refers to wellness centers, salons or resorts offering treatments that use water. In practice, this may mean access to a swimming pool, sauna, bathhouse, hydro massage or therapeutic or relaxation baths. In practice, SPA services also include classic massages, skin care treatments, and sometimes healing treatments. We can also choose an individual stay or a stay for organized groups.

Many recreational centers offer those interested access to a separate area SPA zones. In this case, you can come to the facility one day and use the selected service or the entire series of treatments.

What does a stay in a SPA look like?
A visit to the SPA is an opportunity to take advantage of various forms of relaxation – massages, therapeutic treatments, as well as biological regeneration treatments for the body and face. If we use a ready-made treatment package (e.g. several treatments in one afternoon), after arriving at the SPA center, we will be directed to the place of the service.
During multi-day stay at the SPA the visitor is guaranteed accommodation and amenities typical for a stay in a hotel facility. In this case, we use specific treatments on offer, we have access to wellness zones, including facilities such as a swimming pool, jacuzzi or sauna.
If the location of the center is attractive, free time between treatments can be used to enjoy the natural values of the area. For this reason, popular SPA facilities are often located by the sea, in the mountains or forest areas.
