There is nothing more relaxing than laying back, closing your eyes and letting someone else ease all the strain and tension from your body through luxurious massage and relaxation treatments. Orlando has an abundance of day spas, perfect for a pampering session, especially if your hectic lifestyle doesn’t usually lend itself to such comforts. You could opt for a soothing facial to help regenerate your skin after exposing it to the Floridian sunshine, or a soothing foot rub after running about shopping all day! This blog entry offers a look at just a few of Orlando’s finest spas – you may want to ask the locals where they would recommend!
Pierre Day Spa
Located in Edgewater Drive, this serene space offers a variety of therapies, mainly Swedish in origin, intended to re-energize your body as well as relax your muscles. Seaweed-wrap facials and sea-salt skin exfoliation treatments feature in their oceanic-themed packages; however there are many other types of treatments available, including a strangely guilty chocolate cream pedicure! Prices here vary depending on the packages, so it’s worth having a look at if you want to sample a little luxury on a small budget.
Gary Lambert Salon & Spa
Okay, so you need to drive out to Winter Park for this one, but if you’ve got the money it’s well worth looking into. This larger salon includes hair and skin care as well as massage and facial packages, so if you need your hair cut you can do it all in one place! Prices can be a little steep here, but the place has some great reviews and focuses on personal attention.
