Spoil Yourself With A Spa Day That Won’t Break The Bank

1

 

Picture this. Sipping on a glass of wine in a fluffy white robe, while soft music plays in the background and luscious scents fill the air. You are surrounded by peace and quiet, along with adult-only jacuzzis and pools, steam rooms, saunas and endless selections of high-end products to enjoy. That’s not even the best part. In the midst of all this bliss, you take a break from relaxing by relaxing even more with a massage, facial, mani/pedi, wrap, hair treatment or all of the above!

This, my fellow Mommies is called a spa day, and it’s something you can enjoy without leaving your children for more than a few hours. As a thank you to us locals who live in the land of other people’s vacation destinations, we have high-end spas at our fingertips. My favorite spas are ones that offer plenty of amenities for relaxation and most of the resort spas allow guests to enjoy their amenities the entire day.

It’s time to ditch the diaper bag, hire a sitter (or call in a Daddy or Grandparent day) and pick a destination from my list of top favorite Mommy Spa Days around town.

Top Five Resort Spas

#1 Well & Being Spa at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

Best Spa For Mom’s-To-Be: This is my favorite location for a pre-natal massage. Their massage tables have a cloud-like hole in the middle, which allows you to be face down during the massage. This is a special relief after months of side sleeping!

The Well & Being Spa offers a blissful day away with five star amenities that include an adult-only rooftop pool, both an indoor and outdoor jacuzzi (with a waterfall!), walk-in showers, fitness classes, a state of the art gym, a sauna, a eucalyptus room, along with treatments that include massages, facials, wraps, hair and nail treatment and much more.

Top Three Day Spas

If you don’t have a day to play at a full service spa, you can still enjoy an hour or two of bliss at one of day spas in town!

#1 Salon Surreal

Best Day Spa for both Skin and Hair Care all in one visit – Enjoy a break in the day with some hair therapy or a refreshing facial. This local spa is filled with stylists who will give you a new look or simply spruce up your current one and skin care experts who will make your face look and feel baby fresh! Keep an eye on their Twitter handle (salonsurreal)  to learn about regular promotions for facials and peels! This month, enjoy a Microdermabrasion treatment for just $45 (regular $65). Salon Surreal also offers Medspa treatments such as Botox, Juvederm and Vitamin B-12 injections. Click here for a full list of available services.

#2 Hand and Stone Massage

Best Monthly Massage Membership – If you can find an hour to sneak away from the house, then skip the grocery shopping (for a day) and enjoy some “me time” instead! Hand and Stone Massage has several locations around the Valley and offers a monthly 50 minute service (massage or facial) for $49. First time visits for non-members also cost $49. You’ll be in and out and feel rejuvenated when you leave! Members have the option to cancel at any time. Click here to take a look at the details. 

#3 Nail Spa at Lincoln View

Best Mani, Pedi and Shoulder Massage all in one visit – You can spot a Mom a mile away by the chipped nail polish on her “overdue for a manicure” nails. On the off-chance you can sneak away from the kids, swing by Nails Spa for an expedited spa day. They offer comfortable pedicure chairs, a relaxing environment, excellent service and your nails will leave happy. However, the best part of the experience is an add-on that isn’t offered at many other nail salons. Here they have professional massage therapists who offer shoulder massages while you get your manicure or pedicure. They charge by the minute so you can choose the length of your massage for a very reasonable price.  If a shoulder massage isn’t enough, they also offer full body massages as well.

Now it’s time to book your day away!
