What are the benefits of a home spa or personal wellness retreat?

Planning a staycation or visiting wellness centers are about seeking self-care time. During a staycation, you might enjoy the best of what the property offers, from massages to group activities such as yoga or hiking. When you book an appointment at a wellness center, you might enjoy the sauna before or after a class or treatment. However, the incredible benefits of these therapeutic self-care experiences shouldn’t be reserved for staycations or wellness center appointments.

 

Home spa benefits are endless. Your personal wellness retreat can be more than a temporary escape; it can be a dedicated space where you can nurture your health and happiness. Cultivate a spa-like environment in your own home to make relaxation, mindfulness, and self-care part of your everyday routine. Your home personal wellness retreat can also offer the following benefits:

 

Convenience—Why leave your house or backyard to experience the joys and benefits of a wellness spa or staycation? When you design a personal wellness retreat at home, you can take a dip or work out in your Jacuzzi® Swim Spa, enjoy a session in your Jacuzzi® Infrared Sauna, experience unparalleled hydrotherapy in your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub, and then kick back in your Jacuzzi® Massage Chair.

 

Self-care on your time—Rather than booking an appointment at a busy wellness center, with your own home spa, you can tend to your self-care any time, day or night.

 

Connecting with loved ones—Much like your own personal well-being, time with loved ones, friends, and family members is priceless. A home spa sanctuary serves as an ideal environment in which you can spend quality time with people close to you while also focusing your overall wellness—and theirs.

 

Budget—Overtime, the costs of expensive staycations, routine spa appointments, your monthly gym membership, and other wellness services can really add up. However, beyond the initial price of creating a personal wellness retreat in your home or backyard, costs will be minimal. And you will have a space in your home dedicated to your wellness, and that of your loved ones, for many years to come.

 

Personalization and privacy—Forget crowded group classes at the gym or a massage that doesn’t leave you fully relaxed and soothed. With a home spa, you can customize your experience every time. And the space can be as private as you want it to be. If you’re in the mood for me-time, you can experience a solo sauna session or relax in your massage chair, for example. On the other hand, if you are in the mood to entertain and socialize, invite your friends over for a social soak in your hot tub or swim spa. Ultimately, you can create your personal wellness retreat to reflect your needs and preference, whether that means creating a space for relaxation, fitness, mindfulness, or all three.

Tips for designing a personal wellness retreat

Your home spa can encompass all the elements you want, and nothing you don’t. Before diving into the design process, consider what your goals for your retreat, and what you hope to accomplish within it.

 

Determine your needs and wants

Asking yourself the following questions can help you focus your efforts:

-What do I want to achieve in my home spa?

-What are my favorite parts of a staycation or visit to a wellness center?

-How often do I want to use this space?

-What activities and therapies do I want to include in my home spa?

-Where will I create my personal wellness retreat, and how much space do I have to do so?

 

Choose the right space

When it comes to that last question, you have several options. You might create a wellness area within your bedroom by adding a massage chair in a corner or sitting area. If space allows, you might consider adding a sauna or soaking tub to a large bathroom to create a spa-like retreat. A spare room or basement can be turned into a dedicated wellness retreat, featuring home gym equipment and a sauna. Or, your backyard can become instantly staycation worthy with the addition of a swim spa or hot tub.

 

Add the right products and equipment

If you’re going to make the effort and investment in designing a personal wellness retreat, it should include everything you want—and the best products to elevate your experience for years to come. Choosing Jacuzzi® wellness products can ensure you treat yourself to the very best experiences, with the latest advancements and the most user-friendly technology.

 

For example, select Jacuzzi® Hot Tub and Swim Spa models feature Infrared and Red Light therapy, which can leave you rejuvenated and restored after a soak. If you prefer a sauna session, Jacuzzi® Infrared Saunas can take your experience to the next level with full spectrum infrared, featuring near, mid, and far infrared for warm, soothing relaxation with lasting results.

 

Incorporate fitness and wellness activities

Round out your personal wellness retreat with equipment and activities that can help promote your physical well-being. A Jacuzzi® Swim Spa in your backyard, for example, provides you with a challenging and effective water workout, plus the benefits of a play area and a high-performance hot tub.

If you have a spare bedroom in your home, you can add some minimal home gym equipment—such as an exercise bench, free weights, a yoga mat, or a portable ballet barre—for a fitness haven without leaving home. Then add a Jacuzzi® Infrared Sauna, for the ultimate post-workout recuperation.

 

Create a purposeful, mindful environment

Deciding whether to create your wellness retreat within your home or in your backyard will dictate how you develop the environment to create a peaceful, mindful ambiance. For example, if your home spa is focused around relaxation and unwinding before bedtime, you will want to create a tranquil environment with sights, sounds, and event aromas that can encourage a restful night’s sleep. For example, you might consider spa-like, monochromatic décor. Relaxing in your massage chair to the sound of soothing music or a noise machine can help you wind down, while aromatherapy can also enhance this environment.

 

If you’re creating your wellness retreat outside centered around your swim spa or hot tub, you might consider adding lush foliage or even a small garden in which you can sit and meditate or journal before or after a hydromassage. Swim spas are just as much about fitness and hydrotherapy as they are about socialization. So, consider adding a surround system, comfortable outdoor furnishings, and yard games like cornhole or a ping pong table, to complete your entertaining wellness retreat.

 

Making an investment in a home spa can be the gift of everyday personal wellness, not just for a special occasion. Consider this an investment in yourself, your family, and your loved ones. When you’re ready to design your own personal wellness retreat, a Jacuzzi® Hot Tub, Swim Spa, or Sauna can be the central focal point. Depending on your needs, a Jacuzzi® product can help you experience elevated relaxation, comfort, and wellness.

 

If you are interested in making Jacuzzi® wellness products part of your home spa retreat, visit your nearby spa showroom to view the many options. When perusing your choices, you can speak with an authorized dealer about hot tubs, swim spas, and saunas that can enhance your personal wellness retreat. You can also learn about pricing, financing options, and details about delivery and installation. After a visit to your Jacuzzi® dealer, you will be one step closer to creating a home staycation sanctuary in your home or backyard that you can enjoy every day.
