Resort Spa
-
Take your partner to a resort spa for a day or two of relaxation and luxury as a Valentine's Day present. Many areas have special resort spas while other hotels include spas as part of their hotel experience. Book a room at a resort spa that offers the treatments and services you want. You can find resort spas that provide various types of massages, facials, manicures, pedicures and therapeutic treatments. You can travel to the spa or find a resort spa in your city.
His and Hers Spa Day
-
Reserve a His and Hers Spa Day at a local day spa. Go to a spa together for body treatments, massages, skin care and more. Find a spa that hires only professional, licensed estheticians and therapists by checking the Day Spa Association website to ascertain which spas have accreditation (see Resources). Use your spa day to receive counseling on products and treatments that the staff recommends for you. Best of all, enjoy a spa cuisine meal to end your special Valentine's spa day.

Alternative Spa
-
Experiment with an alternative spa treatment. Alternative treatments can include different types of massages, skin treatments, facials and any other service or treatment that you can have at a conventional spa, but offered in a non-conventional manner. Other types of alternative treatments can include aromatherapy, biofeedback, candling, craniosacral massage, Reiki, reflexology and additional therapies that aim to soothe and relax. Some alternative spa therapies provide comfort while others treat individuals for conditions or disorders. Decide which type of alternative therapies you want to explore before you make your spa reservation for Valentine's Day.
Make a Spa at Home
-
Create your own spa gift with a scented bath, fragrant soaps and attractive creams and lotions. Draw a luxurious bubble bath for your partner and add a few drops of essential oils to imbue it with the fragrance of a professional spa. Prepare a basket with bath oils and bath salts, dried flowers and soap sachets to enhance the atmosphere. Leave products, such as a cleansing face wash, face scrub, face mask and moisturizing cream, by the tub for your partner to use to pamper herself. Lay out a warm towel and a fluffy bath robe when the bath ends and invite your partner to relax while you give her a special manicure or pedicure to complete the home spa.
