We’re only a short way into the New Year and already the stress is piling up! Don’t let it get to you. It’s time to take control of your physical and mental well-being this year by hitting the spa. But if you’re going to enjoy some spa time, you need to do it properly by trying out the latest spa trends in 2023. Here’s a look at the top five.

1.     Full-day spa treatment

If you’re booking a spa treatment, don’t stop at one. Rather do yourself a favour and set aside a bit of time and money for a full day of holistic treatment. This way, you’re ensuring a much deeper, more impactful experience that leaves you feeling restful and ready for the year ahead. You can chat with the spa technician about the best course of action or full-day treatment packages, but some of the popular options to consider include:

·        A Rasul ritual or steam

·        Hammam experience
