Essential Packing Guide: What Every Man Needs for a Spa Day
Ready to embark on a journey of relaxation and rejuvenation? Before you head out the door, let's make sure you're fully equipped for the ultimate spa day experience. Here's a handy guide on what to pack to ensure you're prepared for every blissful moment.
Hydration Hero: First things first, don't leave home without a trusty water bottle. Hydration is key, especially when you're sweating it out in the sauna or steam room. Opt for a durable, reusable bottle that you can easily take with you from one relaxation spot to the next. Bonus points if it's insulated to keep your water cool throughout the day.
Comfortable Threads: Say goodbye to stiff suits and uncomfortable jeans—it's all about comfort when it comes to spa attire. Choose athleisure wear or loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely and sink into a state of relaxation. Think soft, breathable fabrics that feel like a gentle hug for your body.
Snack Attack: Let's face it, spa food isn't always the most satisfying (or speedy). That's why it's a smart move to pack a snack to keep hunger at bay. Opt for something light and portable, like a protein bar, trail mix, or piece of fruit. It'll tide you over until you can indulge in a more substantial meal without weighing you down.
Bonus Essentials:
Spa Sandals: Keep your feet happy and hygienic with a pair of flip flops or slippers to navigate the spa's facilities. While these are provided at any quality spa we have found that they don’t often go above size 11 and many people would prefer to bring their own.
Personal Care Items: While the spa may provide basics like shampoo and body wash, pack your preferred toiletries for a personalized post-spa experience. Alternatively, you can choose to rely on the amenities provided.
Entertainment: If you are going by yourself, bring along a book or magazine to help pass the time and fully unwind.
Optional - Swim Trunks: you can consider packing swim trunks for day at the spa. However, keep in mind that most spas have the amenities separated by gender and are clothing-optional, so that Spa Guy recommends giving the "team towel" approach a try for a true spa experience.
Remember, while the spa provides lockers for your belongings, it's always a good idea to exercise caution with valuable items. Consider leaving anything of significant value at home or in a secure location.
So there you have it, gentlemen—a foolproof packing list for your next spa day adventure. With these essentials in tow, you'll be well on your way to a day of unparalleled relaxation and bliss. Go ahead, treat yourself—you deserve it!
