FROM GRAND COUNTRY HOUSES PERFECT FOR SAMPLING A SLICE OF SERENITY TO RURAL RETREATS OFFERING TREATMENTS TOPPED WITH TRANQUILLITY , KENT HAS PLENTY OF SPAS SET TO SATISFY YOUR WELLBEING NEEDS .
There ’ s nothing quite like the peace that comes with a spa break . For those in need of some much needed self care , visiting a spa provides the perfect opportunity to reset as well as undergo some pleasurable pampering . Set to soothe not just the body , but the soul too , research has shown that a trip to the spa not only benefits our beauty needs but is also hugely beneficial to our mental health .
Regular spa attendance for the whole family is a cultural norm in many parts of Europe , yet in the UK we still tend to view it as a more of a treat to be earned rather than a weekly or monthly essential . As the winter days draw out with fewer daylight hours and colder temperatures still to come , it can sometimes be difficult to shift out of those more melancholic moods without the help of sunshine and warm weather . Offering the sanctuary of indoor warmth , rest , respite and relaxation , away from those harsh outdoor elements , a weekend away or even just an hour spent switching off in the peace of a spa or treatment room can really make all the difference to our mindset , not to mention any aches , pains or trivial ailments we might have .
Health experts at Awareness Days , the force behind next month ’ s National Spa Week , which begins on 4 November , said : “ Our 21stcentury lives are fast paced , more digitally influenced and busier than ever before . In the same way regular gym attendance keeps us physically fit , regular spa attendance is an effective way to help combat the long term effects of everyday stress that we have become accustomed to living with .”
With National Spa Week on the horizon and the concepts behind it in mind , this month is ideal for taking some time to visit one of the country ’ s best spas , right here in Kent . Venturing to the countryside alone can offer the ultimate tranquillity you might be seeking , so Kent , with its multitude of fine country houses turned resplendent spas , most nestled amidst rolling green hills and rambling parkland , is the ultimate location for securing that double dose of peace and pampering .
