Partied too hard? Try these pick-me-up spa treatments!

The candlelit Macdonald Bath Spa Hotel – as if you needed an excuse to visit...

Feeling a little bit partied out and in need of a good rest? Then head straight to your nearest hotel spa for a pick-me-up treatment. Here’s our pick of the bunch.

Great for detoxifying

What: Thalgo Detox Body Treatment
Where: Ocean Rooms at the Caledonian Hilton Edinburgh
Price: £150 for 2 hours 30 mins
This treatment consists of an all-over body brush, salt and oil scrub, followed by a detox massage to atone for all that festive over-indulgence. The treatment finishes off with a Frigi body wrap, to eliminate excess fluid, and a decongesting pressure-point face massage to leave you feeling as though you’ve been of leaves and carrot juice all Christmas.

Great for improving circulation

What: Spa Tranquillity Treatment
Where: Barceló Billesley Manor Hotel, near Stratford-upon-Avon
Price: £70 for 1 hour 30 mins
Soothing aromatic oils restore the body’s natural balance in this luxurious circulation-boosting massage plus personalised facial, which will leave your skin feeling pepped and refreshed, helping to erase the signs of too many parties.

Great for unknotting tired necks and shoulders

What: Decléor Tranquillity Scalp Massage
Where: Macdonald Bath Spa Hotel, Bath
Price: from £35 for 30 mins
This calming massage is designed to relieve tension from the scalp, neck and shoulders, which can seize up after too many nights on the tiles followed by too many days at your desk. If your head, neck and shoulder area needs further attention, try out the thermal suite, consisting of an infra-red cabin, rock sauna, aroma steam room, salt infusion room, ice room and aroma experience showers.

Great for legs that have danced the night away

What: Vital Leg Treatment
Where: Sienna Spa and Health Club, Radisson Edwardian Manchester Hotel, Manchester
Price: £55 for 1 hour
After hours on the dance floor in killer heels, your legs and feet will need some heavy-duty R&R. Hobble over to the Sienna Spa at the Radisson Edwardian Manchester Hotel for its Vital Leg Treatment. Specially designed to treat tired, aching legs, this treatment uses active ingredients to reduce swelling, eliminate impurities and improve circulation – putting you back on your feet in no time.

Great for reducing puffy eyes

What: Vital Eyes Treatment
Where: Mercure Aberdeen Ardoe House Hotel and Spa, Aberdeen
Price: £30 for 25 mins
Ah, the eyes – windows to the soul… and a dead giveaway when you’ve had too many late nights. Banish bags, puffiness, dark circles and the appearance of fine lines with the Vital Eyes Treatment at Mercure’s Aberdeen Ardoe House and you can have the eyes of an 18-year-old again, give or take.

Great for relieving stress

What: Urban Retreat
Where: Victoria Therapy Suite, Park Plaza Victoria, London
Price: £60 for 1 hour
For a one-stop-shop to pick you up, try the Urban Retreat. The treatment consists of a 30-minute stress-relieving back massage to unknot you, then opt for a Revitalising Eye Care treatment or a Dermalogica facial to perk up your visage, before finally chilling out with a fresh fruit juice at the Mix Café.

Great for flawless skin

What: Energising Oxygen Facial
Where: Principal Hayley’s Marine Spa, The St David’s Hotel and Spa, Cardiff
Price: £65 for 55 mins
This intensive treatment uses a pure oxygen spray to gently feed vitamins A, C and E into the deepest layers of the skin to give you a top-flight facial that will forgive many a sin. The oxygen spray also aids the second part of the treatment – a collagen and caviar mask that visibly plumps out lines and wrinkles – leaving you with skin that’s smooth and fresh.
