Spas are excellent for romantic travel, and although there aren’t many discounts to be found at spas, knowing what to ask for will make the most of your getaway.

Before you arrive, prepare your bodies to release toxins during your massage treatment by:

• Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day
• Eat more fruits and vegetables
• Cut down on sugar and salt

Rates vary seasonally, so try a desert resort in the summer and a beach resort in the winter, however, outside the US, the high season for beach resorts is the winter.

Request a couple’s treatment (if available) or the most popular at that particular spa.

Arrive early and ask for a tour before the relaxation begins

If you or your partner has health concerns or a heart condition, consult with your physician about heat-related or invigorating treatments.
