Things to Check Before Booking a Spa for Your Honeymoon

When you're choosing where to go on your honeymoon, you're typically faced with a lot of options that make finding the perfect destination a difficult task. Unless there's somewhere you and your partner have always known you wanted to go, it's not easy to decide what the ideal honeymoon style is to suit both of you.

If you haven't yet considered a stay at a spa, it's well worth giving the idea some thought. After all, while your wedding day is one of the happiest of your life, it often marks the end of a period of intense stress and hard planning work. A bit of relaxation and pampering could be just what you both need.

Before you book a specific spa for your honeymoon, check these points to make sure you'll be getting everything you want.

Find out what type of spa it is

First of all, you should decide whether you want to stay in a spa hotel or book into a day spa and stay elsewhere. Depending on which spa you choose, you might only have one option.

Once you've settled on that, make sure the spa you choose suits what you want. Some have a strong focus on health, while others are more about relaxation. This can really affect what your stay is like, so be careful to pick one that gives you what you want.

You should also check what facilities are available before you make a booking. Pools, jacuzzis and saunas are all popular, but not all spas will have them, so make sure everything you're hoping for is present.

Check the rules and regulations

Some spas restrict alcohol, so if you want to pop the champagne to celebrate your marriage, make sure you'll be able to do so.

It's also a good idea to make sure you'll be able to do things together, as some spas separate people by gender in certain areas or are focused on individual experiences. The last thing you want is to spend your honeymoon hardly seeing each other, so mention that it'll be your honeymoon when you're making enquiries, and they'll let you know if it's a suitable spa or not.

Ask how much freedom you have

When you're booking, you might be tied to a set regimen of treatments and activities. If that suits you, there's no problem, but if you're hoping for a looser experience, choose somewhere you can have just that.

If the spa is located somewhere you'd like to explore or spend time doing other activities, check the policy on leaving and returning, and find out whether they'll be flexible with your planned treatments once you arrive.
