Top Spa Trends and Treatments for 2008

New Ways to Pamper Yourself at the Spa This Year!

A trip to the day spa, resort spa, or your favorite destination spa getaway isn't complete without a new treatment or two. Each season, spas unveil a fresh menu of seasonal ingredients that accompany each treatment. Pumpkin facials for Fall, chocolate body wraps for Valentine's Day, and citrus-infused massage treatments for the summer months are just a few of the common choices each year. However, spa trends and treatments take a new turn in 2008. SpaFinder's press release about spa trends rounds up the predictions each year, and most spas adapt a few into their menu; here's what you'll find at your favorite pampering destination in 2008:

Spa Trend: Bootcamps and Detox Sessions
Fitness spas have led the way in exercise sessions and bootcamp training for those interested in weight loss, but now the 'regular' spa will enlist a few options into its menu. Detox sessions comprised of drinking herbal tea, taking a steam bath, and enjoying a detoxifying massage will become more common. Bootcamp training may be a part of many exercise and personal training sessions at resort spas.

Spa Trend: Spa Treatments in Your Spa Villa
Spa real estate is on the rise; if you've dreamed of living at a spa, the marketplace is becoming more competitive which means lower rates and more options around the country. Look forward to a personalize massage treatment or facial from the comforts of your own rental property.

Spa Trend: Sleep Yoga
Sleep is a natural rejuvenator, and with the increased stress levels of most Americans, its often overlooked. Sleep yoga sessions can promote natural relaxation and deep breathing that's essential for high quality sleep. Don't be surprised to find your spa offering specialized yoga sessions in the near future.

Spa Trend: Fertility Boosters
If you've been looking for a natural way to increase your fertility, spas across the country may offer you an alternative to drugs and treatment. Natural therapies that promote fertility include massage, reflexology, and even fertility yoga.
