Spa day alone

I’ve always done spa days on my own, great opportunity to get away from husband and kids and just read, relax and get pampered for a day!

Not only have I done a few spa days on my own but once, after my godmother died and I was given a small amount of money (I mean, in the grand scheme of things), I booked three days away in a spa all alone. I loved every second of it.

My husband gets me a spa day every year for Christmas. He bought it for me 4 years ago after I'd had a tough few months and I loved it so much I've asked for it again every year since.
I love it!
Love being totally in control of how long I spend on each area, what I do next. Think I enjoy the peace even more than the therapies.

I would prefer to go to a Spa alone.... I've done it a few times and would love to do it again. So relaxing.

I’ve done spa days alone and there’s always lots of other women there on their own. My idea of heaven!

Some people just aren't great at doing stuff alone. I'm like it for walking. I love going for walks, but I want company.

However...spa days, restaurants, cinemas, totally fine solo imo. In fact a solo trip to the cinema is one of my top indulgences. Shortly followed by brunch or coffee with a good book. If I had more funds spa days would be right up there.

It's not exactly a spa weekend, but I'm going to Baden-Baden by myself this weekend. I'm looking forward to going to the 2 spas in the town.

i LOVE going alone for spa days/relaxing stuff because its supposed to be just that!
I can have a gossip and coffee with friends anytime!

It's not weird. I've been with other people and quietly chatted so I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that but what I do find weird is groups of friends going and being very loud. It's supposed to be a place for relaxation, not a rowdy get together. Going alone sounds perfect.

I spent an entire weekend at Champneys on my own once it was bloody great

I would love this, take a book and properly switch off from the world…….

off to book a spa day

I love doing this stuff alone. Actually prefer not having to talk and make conversation. Just do what I want. Its perfect

Nope. Not weird. There are so many women on here who can't do things on their own. It's sad that they can't.

It’s the only way

I think it sounds perfect!
I probably wouldn’t feel 1000% confident to go for dinner in a dining room on my own at a spa hotel but everything else woudl be heavenly. A good book, suiting yourself

Not at all. That's what I do. Would never go with anyone else.

I prefer spa days alone for all the reasons you say OP. I have one coming up actually - can’t wait.

I did this for my birthday last year - swam in the pool - went in the sauna - chilled on a lounger - had a lovely back neck and shoulder massage and then some lunch - had a great day - definitely do it 🥰

Best spa days I've had have been on my own. Definitely go on one.

No it isn't weird! I like a spa day. I don't like my spa day being ruined by people talking non-stop! Going alone sounds perfect 👌

I much prefer going alone. I don’t want ‘fun’ at a spa! I want to switch off and relax…can’t do that with someone wittering away on the next lounger!

If I wanted a fun day out with friends, I’d go to Alton Towers!

everyone's different. Personally I don't really like spas and hate massages so yeah the only reason I would go to one would be to catch up with a friend as a day out. Otherwise it would feel like a waste of money to just go myself if it wasn't something I'd enjoy.

I wouldn't choose to eat out by myself - I obviously have done when needed, but for me the main point of a meal is the social aspect so if I was travelling alone I'd prefer to order takeaway/sandwich/room service and slob out in my hotel room rather than going out for a meal alone. Whereas if you're a 'foodie' you'd get enjoyment from the actual meal/dressing up/going to a restaurant/people watching etc. so it would be worth it.

OTOH I'm happy going to the cinema, theatre, walk, on holiday, even a theme park etc. on my own if nobody else wants to join me- and some things (shopping, gym, museums) I actively prefer it.

I just had a spa day with DH. It as one of those where you’re guided from room to room - eg sauna followed by hydro pool followed by whatever and so on. All rooms were quiet. Although there were few people in the spa no one was talking to anyone. I saw no difference whether I was with someone or alone. In fact if I were alone, I would have skipped some areas or done some for less or more time instead of trying to consider the person I was with.
I don’t see spas as social places or events.

I LOVE going to the spa by myself. Guess what I am doing Saturday? Gym then a sauna and chilling by the pool! It’s how I spend my childfree none work days as well. Role on inset day in June so I can chill 🤣

That was my problem. I did a spa half-day on my own, and felt ridiculously self conscious. All the other guests were in 2s or 3s. I felt like Billy No Mates
