The Ultimate Oasis
By itself, your spa is certainly a satisfying place to be, but
there are many more ideas to make your spa experience the ultimate
in relaxation and enjoyment.
Location, Location, Location If you have the
choice, locate your spa in the most scenic spot possible. Ideally,
you could position your spa next to or within sight of a lake,
stream or the sea. A beautiful view of the mountains or a stunning
flower garden can be just the perfect scene for your spa
experience.
Create Your Own Topical Locale Don’t have the
luxury of placing your spa in a scenic locale? Create your own
magical location by surrounding your spa with large potted palms or
pine trees. Hang soft lights around the perimeter of the area for a
romantic appeal. The right music can also add to the mood and
atmosphere of your spa soak. If your spa is located outside, just
the sound of songbirds and crickets can be wonderfully soothing. Or
if your spa is located inside, try a relaxing recording of pleasant
nature sounds.
Candles & Fragrance Add candlelight
around your spa for the ultimate romantic mood. Use tall, thin
candles, large cylinders or clusters of tiny votive candles to
create just the right light. Candles come in a myriad of colors
shapes and scents – pick your own favorites. Fragrances can also add
to the ambiance of your spa. Place aromatic plants, cachets or
incense around your spa area – available in every scent from
tropical to floral to pine. Scents are also available to place
directly into your spa water – just be sure it is made for use in a
spa.
Rest Your Weary Head Have inflatable or foam
neck and head rests at the ready to really lay back for total
relaxation in your spa or hot tub.
Décor As we already mentioned above,
surrounding your spa with trees, plants and flowers adds to the
feel. For a European look, decorate with café umbrellas with logos
like Martini and Rossi. For a natural look, surround your spa with
real or fake rocks and plants. For a real garden feel, nothing beats
a vine covered trellis or gazebo with wrap around benches for
cooling off.
