A spa will be as relaxing and pleasurable as you need, depending on how you make your selection.

Step 1: Establish a budget
Establish a spa budget. Spas vary greatly. You can choose specific, ala carte treatments at a day spa, or you can spend from $200 a day to over $5,000 a week for destination spas.

Step 2: Decide on where
Decide where you want to go. Will it be combined with business or vacationing, or is it a short, local escape?
