What to Wear for a Spa Day

Unwinding with a well-deserved pamper session at the spa is one of the best things for self-care. In most cases, the spa will provide the essentials like towels, dressing gowns and slippers, but you may feel a bit more comfortable bringing along a few extras.

Make sure you have a swimsuit with you for dipping into hot tubs and pools and a pair of flip-flops for wet areas. Bring loose-fitting clothing like comfy loungewear and a spare set of knickers to change into after treatments.

A detangling hairbrush will be handy after swimming and a silk scrunchie will keep your hair out of your face during treatments. You may want to bring your own skincare if you’d prefer to use your favourite products.

Don’t forget a book or magazine if you have some downtime in between sessions, and it wouldn’t hurt to throw in a pair of sunglasses for outdoor areas, too. Toss everything in a large tote bag and you’re good to go.

Deciding what to wear during a full-body massage is totally up to you and your comfort level. The spa will likely provide a dressing gown to wear before and after your treatment, and they may offer disposable underwear to wear during the session.

A pair of comfy knickers is the best bet if you’d like a bit of coverage. The massage therapist will cover you with towels or sheets while they’re working, so you won’t feel exposed or cold.

Just make sure to remove jewellery or anything that will dig into your skin before your treatment so you can fully relax.

If you’re still unsure, simply contact the spa ahead of time and ask what they would recommend you to wear.
