Searching for the right spa
While all spas aim to offer a relaxing and therapeutic experience, they aren’t all the same. When you’re searching for the perfect place to spend a blissful day, you should first consider which treatments and what kind of atmosphere you prefer. Some spas are focused on health and wellbeing while others have a strong leaning towards beauty and cosmetic treatments. Discover Ireland has a useful spa guide that describes the differences between resorts spas, hotel spas and destination spas – great for helping you make sure you pick your perfect experience.
Thinking about the kind of treatments you might enjoy most is another good way to narrow down you search for the ideal spa.

The Good Spa Guide has a comprehensive directory that allows you to search for spas by destination but also by type or treatment and is a great way to make finding a suitable spot.
Spa Seekers also offers a useful search function, allowing you to refine your preferences then providing you with the best matches in your destination. The site also features testimonials to help you make your choice and a selection of spa deals that could help you cut your costs.
