5 Tips to Make the Most Out of Your Hotel Spa in Aruba

When you travel far from home, the hotel you stay in becomes a kind of a more luxurious version of your home. To feel at home, all you need is to feel completely comfortable. We know that even if they try to, not all hotels can guarantee comfort simply because not every place has that extra element, you don’t know exactly what it is that makes you feel good.

But if your hotel has a Spa, believe me, you’ll feel even better than in your own home, and how can you not do it in an Aruba Spa / Resort where you’ve got it all without having to go anywhere?

The first image that comes to your mind when reading the word “Spa” is the typical photo of someone lying on a table with a smile drawn on their face while receiving a massage; and yes, massages are an essential part of the visit to the Spa, but that concept has already been modernized and is not just about a massage. Nowadays, a Spa is a healing and even a rejuvenating center, where there are new techniques and disciplines that lead you to live a transforming experience.

On your next spa day, you should be aware of all the benefits you are getting. That’s why we tell you 5 tips to make the most of your visit to the Spa during your wellness vacations in Aruba.

1. Renew your external look

When we look better, our spirits and self-esteem rise up to the sky. This is reflected in everything we do in our daily lives, from our work, to our interpersonal relationships, because we are constantly transmitting our energy and how we feel to others. Many of the treatments offered by spas help people to eliminate toxins and dead cells giving us healthier and more beautiful skin, which makes us look and feel incredible.

Spa Hotels offer numerous aesthetic treatments to improve your physical aspect, no matter if you are male or female; the treatments are for anyone who wants to renew their skin.

Here we tell you about some of the treatments that are like magical rejuvenating potions:

After-Sun Facial Repair Treatment

We know that the sun -no matter how nice it feels- makes our skin look tired and aged. This treatment consists of the application of a repairing anti-ageing formula with a calming and refreshing effect that reinforces the skin’s natural defenses and prevents premature ageing.

Deep and organic cleansing of pores

Forget about that awkward moment in front of the mirror every time you see those little blackheads in your face. This is a deep, thorough cleansing treatment that eliminates blackheads and excess oil leaving your skin free to breathe and look totally clean.

And since a pretty face isn’t everything in life, on your next visit to the Spa in Aruba you can’t help but visit the specialists in pedicure, manicure, hair and waxing.

You should also try the special body treatments, such as the Honey, Sugar and Milk Scrub that leaves your skin soft and clear like a baby’s, or the Aloe Vera Wrap that rejuvenates the skin and helps eliminate cellulite with the refreshing effect and properties of Aloe Vera.

2. Improve your health with massage therapy

Did you know that massages were part of the pharaohs´daily life oin a therapeutic way 4,000 years ago? That explains why we feel like kings and queens every time we get a massage.

Massage is an ancient practice that has evolved into a science and today offers thousands of therapeutic options. The good thing about having a Spa in your hotel is that you don’t have to choose just one treatment or massage. You can go there every day and try a different one.

These are some types of massages and their positive effects they have on your health.

Relaxing massages, such as aromatherapy massage, promote increased blood circulation throughout the body and, as a consequence, there is an increase in the supply of oxygen to the tissues and organs benefiting your overall health. Relaxing massages also improve digestion and eliminate constipation.

Hot stone massages promote the elimination of toxins from the skin through sweating, which occurs because of the high temperature of the stones.

Back, neck and shoulder massages help repair the body quickly, relieving knots and tensions.

Thai massage, which is considered by many to be yoga for the lazy ones, avoids injuries by strengthening the ligaments and tendons.

3. Stabilize your balance

Have you ever heard that a visit to the Spa helps to stabilize your balance?

But what is that whole balance thing really about?

Keeping your balance is not about how long you can stand on one foot without falling, but rather about keeping your balance in your daily life, which means that you don’t go between highs and lows, but that you manage to remain in a permanent state of wellness.

This balance is achieved by harmonising body and mind into one. Today our heads are saturated with noise and information that often become worries, making it difficult to relax our mind and find that ideal balance.

Going to a spa is a temporary escape to a quieter space that allows us to clear our thoughts and achieve the body and mind connection we need to maintain balance in our lives.

There are different spa treatments designed to relax us and help us find our balance, and although at the beginning it may be a little bit difficult to silence our chatty mind and stop thinking about that issue in our family, or the earrings that we haven’t crossed off from our to-do list, but after a while we start to enjoy and our mind gets calm and it helps us disconnect from the outside world, even from social media, thanks God!

4. Relieve your physical pains

Physical pain doesn’t have to be something you have to get used to, nor do you have to become a walking pharmacy to be able to control it. Regular visits to the spa help reduce the pain caused by illnesses, such as arthritis. By means of massages and treatments, muscular relaxation is achieved, so back, rheumatic and muscular pains disappear.

If you have had strong migraines, you know that the pressure and pain you feel can be so terrible that many times you have to cancel all your plans, but if you are in the middle of your wellness vacations in Aruba you cannot let this happen.

Although there are different levels of pain, there is an effective massage technique to relieve them all, it is called Kobido massages, they are small massages in specific areas of the face to provide rest and relaxation to the mind and visual muscles that are usually affected by migraine.

5. Have a meaningful rest

One of the benefits of having a spa in your hotel is that you are completely immersed in another reality; you don’t have to move anywhere so you don’t have to deal with any kind of stress. Imagine leaving from your spa session relaxed to enter the city chaos , the noise, the traffic; you would be burdened again with things that make you feel anxious or stressed.

If you’re in a place as sublime as Aruba, you’re allowed to forget about the rest of the world for a few days and devote fully to yourself, it doesn’t mean you’re being selfish, it means you’re giving your energy a boost.

To have a meaningful rest is to be able to disconnect from the outside world and feel that we are full of physical and mental wellness. The spa is the right place to devote time to your inner and outer health because you place, your worries, aches and pains, in the hands of professionals who are there with the sole purpose of making you feel nice.
