Mini-break aficionados know the drill all too well. You take off for a few days on a divine getaway to escape the rat race and decompress. The hotel is lovely, with gardens and beautiful views. The poolside drinks and fiery desserts at dinner are dazzling and delicious. And all of those indulgences are worked out of your system by the detoxing scrubs, wraps and massages at the spa. But then the days away are over and the tab for all that bliss causes those mellow muscles to tense right back up.



No need to give up those well-earned sanity breaks. Budget-minded travelers can still enjoy an escape to serenity by following these expert tips on how to find Good Deals on Spa Breaks.



First, be smart with the calendar. Even at the finest spa hotels UK, there are bargains to be had in the off-season and on weekdays, which often consist of a hotel package and weekend spa breaks combo. Plus, there will probably be fewer fellow serenity seekers there at the same time, giving you first choice on spa treatments.



Planning a spa break in advance can help you score a bargain weekend spa getaway while, conversely, waiting until the last minute can also land you a deal if you're flexible with your dates and destination. Travel sites such as spaandhotelbreak.co.uk offer great packages for both early birds and latecomers.



Make sure to show up far in advance of your treatment time to enjoy the amenities and make a real spa day out of it. Hotels spas offer extensive, up-to-date and beautifully appointed facilities which often include complimentary use of pools, hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas and relaxation lounges. It turns a one-hour massage into a full day of pampering.



Many hotel spas offer discounted group rates, which are ideal for reunion getaways with friends or mini-breaks with extended family. Is your company looking for the location of their next corporate retreat? Spa hotels are one-stop shopping for fine dining, beautiful accommodations, business center facilities and meeting rooms. It won't take long for the conference leaders to discover that nothing builds a solid work team better than stone therapy massages for everyone.



Lastly, if there's just no way to squeeze a weekend away into your crazy-busy schedule, why not just go for a day? Many spa hotels in the UK offer reasonably-priced day passes for those who need a few hours poolside and maybe enjoy a salt scrub. Even just one day away from the grind to "take the waters" can do wonders with relaxing the muscles, calming the brainwaves, and recharging your battery.
