Spa Lifestyle
What is a Spa experience?
The spa tradition - taking the waters or bathing in mineral or hot springs in order to cure illness and relax - goes back to Roman times and before. But what is the modern spa experience all about?
According to the International SPA Association, ISPA, the spa experience can be defined as "your time to relax, reflect, revitalize, and rejoice." At La Manga Club we call this loving life.
Today there are many different types of spa - mineral spring spas, resort spas, medical spas etc - but all share one common aim: to promote wellness, so that you leave feeling better, much better, than when you came.
Looking at it another way, most of us regularly spend time and money on preventive maintenance for our cars but perhaps not so readily on ourselves. The spa experience could be considered just that - preventative maintenance for the body and mind. An investment in your wellbeing.
The starting point may be a massage or a bath, designed to soothe away physical aches and pains and release the mind from day-to-day concerns. Time to yourself, time to enjoy, time to unwind...
These are also crucial to the overall experience.
The spa experience is also about being looked after and about looking after yourself. Discovering simple habits and rituals that you can continue in your everyday life and which will become part of your own healthy lifestyle.
At Spa La Manga Club, our aim is to help you discover the benefits of the spa experience and for you to take some of the wellness philosophy back home.
Healthy & enjoyable holidays
With the wide range of facilities at La Manga Club, planning a healthy programme for your holiday is easy.
Exercise: There are innumerable activities in and around the resort such as golf, tennis, squash, paddle tennis, jogging, trekking, pitch & putt, weight training, fitness, aerobics, tai chi, sailing, water skiing, windsurfing, swimming, scuba diving, mountain biking and horse riding amongst others. For not-so-sporty holidaymakers, a stroll on the beach or along the numerous trails around the resort and surrounding countryside is just as good.
Nutrition: Your taste buds are in for a treat at La Manga Club with more than 20 restaurants offering a tantalising choice of global cuisine. All restaurants offer a wide variety of dishes prepared using the freshest of produce, creatively combined and prepared to maximise both nutritional value and enjoyment. And, without the demands of everyday life, it is all the easier to take time over your meal and really savour the experience.
Healthy mind: Getting away on holiday in itself plays an important role in the wellness experience. Add to this the incomparable sensation of well-being that being out of doors brings - the warmth of the Mediterranean sun, the aroma of flowers, a gentle breeze - and your spirits cannot fail to be lifted.
Care of face and body: The treatments at Spa La Manga Club have been designed not only to pamper and care for the outer self, but also to relax and revitalise you, redressing the balance of both body and mind.
