Treat yourself or someone special to some pampering at one of our many spas, writes Rachel Buller.
Why not treat yourself with a visit to a spa where you can relax, unwind and indulge in some therapies for the body and soul. Whether you fancy a whole weekend away, a couple of hours of treatment or want to combine all that relaxation with a different type of indulgence – like an afternoon tea – there is something for everyone . . . and you don’t have to travel outside Norfolk either.
Pampering
If you want to combine a beauty treatment with a swim and then a spot of lunch or afternoon tea, head to La Fontana at Sprowston Manor Hotel, near Norwich.
Choose from a selection of treatments, including body wraps, body scrubs, facials and massages. Enjoy your day by the pool – take a swim, read your EDP Norfolk magazine poolside and take advantage of the sauna and steam room.

Celebration
Pull on your robe and slippers and spend the day at the Edge Health and Fitness Club at Barnham Broom Hotel with the Spa Celebration Experience.
Take a swim, clear your head in the steam room, then choose from a selection of treatments which cater for everyone – from an ESPA aromatherapy full body massage, aromatherapy facial, salt and oil body polish and oriental head massage to an express manicure and pedicure or make up lesson. Enjoy a light lunch or afternoon tea – on the terrace if it is warm enough – before heading back poolside.

Indulgence
Treat your mum to some pampering to not only leaving her feeling rejuvenated but help soothe away aches and stress. Spa at Style Health and Fitness has a relaxation suite which will leave you floating out of the door.
“Why not treat your Mum to a bit of pampering, in our relaxing spa area where she can enjoy our Jacuzzi and two saunas, one of which is a specialised infra red sauna, ideal for muscular aches and pains. Then why not leave us with a glow by having one of our new ESPA Radiance Facials,” says spa and marketing manager Caroline Brown.
The Spa specialises in treatments using ESPA therapists and products. ESPA is known for its luxury products made using natural, sustainable, ethically sourced ingredients.

Inner calm
To indulge and relax your mind, body and spirit, visit the Thai Herbal Retreat in Norwich. Soak up the calming atmosphere in the therapy rooms with specially selected oils burning as you enjoy a treatment together.
Co-owner Peerada Morgan-Johnson says: “We can tailor make a package for you to make the most of your special day and to make sure you get the right treatment for your skin. You could have an aromatherapy massage, using our own aromatherapy oils, followed by a facial or a pedicure and manicure. We are also fully trained in Thai and Balinese massage if you would like to try something new.”
