    Choose between a destination and resort spa. This depends on your personal needs and wants. A destination spa is all-inclusive with very tight regimens of healthy meal, treatments and workouts. A resort spa is much more relaxed, and often treatments, privileges and meals are priced separately.

    Research the spa very carefully. Consider location. Look at pictures or order brochures online, read reviews and see what services they have to offer.

    Consider your personal goals before choosing a resort. You may be trying to lose weight, find spiritual balance or just relax. There are resorts specializing in certain things, and choosing the right one can surround you with like minded people with similar goals.

    Visit a resort spa if you are not going alone. This is the perfect choice if you are going with a spouse or friend that has different interests or goals. Some spas offer things from golfing for husbands to dinosaur digs for children.

  5. Step 5

    Make reservations in advance. Popular spas, especially at certain times of the year book up extremely fast. Book way in advance and take the time to plan out what treatments and classes you would like to participate in.

  6. Step 6

    Choose classes that you would like to participate in. These classes have set times. Once you have done this. Choose treatments and schedule them to work around the classes you would like to participate in.

  7. Step 7

    Don't schedule too many things. While taking part in many things can be tempting, remember that the ultimate goal of a spa vacation is relaxation, and overdoing it can leave you stressed and tired.
