Pre-Christmas shop and spa breaks

So you’ve decided that you have no option but to hit the shops to seek inspiration for your Christmas gift list. You set out early to beat the crowds, then realise that everyone else had the same idea. You battle it out on public transport, or drive in early but still struggle to find a car parking space. Then you spend the first 2 or 3 hours flitting from shop to shop getting ideas, but nothing jumps out and says “buy me”.

It’s heading towards lunch time and as you walk down the high street, there is a swarm of shoppers heading towards you, you look around and you feel trapped, you can’t make your way to your next shop without manoeuvring through the crowds, when you finally hit your target the racks and shelves are already 4 deep with shoppers and you can’t see what’s on offer. You decide to go for a much needed coffee, but end up queuing for 20 minutes to be served and then you can’t find anywhere to sit. The whole experience is exhausting and just, well, unpleasant.

Belaqua the on-line luxury spa agent have come up with a great solution to this annual shop-fest. It’s a much more relaxing experience. If you can’t find the perfect gift for your loved one on their website, (if you’ve bought from Belaqua before you will know that they can make reservations or provide gift vouchers for pretty much any treatment, spa day or spa break at the UK’s top spas) then you can indulgence yourself with a “shop and spa break”. It’s perfect. You arrive at your chosen town or city in the morning; take in a few hours shopping before heading to your luxury hotel for some serious pampering. How tempting does a soothing foot treatment or relaxing body massage sound, particularly after all that pavement pounding and battling the high street?

Belaqua have put together some superb packages from just £72.00 per person which includes treatment, accommodation, dinner, breakfast and use of the spa facilities – and what’s more Belaqua take care of your entire booking for you, so one call is all it takes to arrange a relaxing shop and spa break at a town or city near you. You just can’t go wrong!
