HOTELS WITH LADIES-ONLY SPA CENTER

Ladies-Only Spa Centres: Recharge and Unwind

Introduction to halal wellbeing holidays

 
The word ‘spa’ brings with it an aura of tranquility, which many associate with mindfulness and wellbeing. With roots stretching as far back as 70 AD, it is rumoured the name derived from the Belgian town, Spa, famous for its thermal springs with healing properties. Historically, Roman soldiers would visit spas to treat aching muscles and wounds from a battle. Today, the modern-day spa has evolved into an opportunity to get away from your everyday battles and look after yourself in the way you deserve. Varying from country to country, they are often influenced by different cultures, from Roman baths to Ottoman hamams. With unique methods of relaxation dependent upon the destination, many regions offer various techniques of tranquility to ensure a complete detox and cleanse from everyday life.

For the Muslim traveller, spas offer an authentic experience, not only because there is halal food on offer but also because they offer the opportunity for relaxing using traditional methods from the country, whilst absorbing its culture. With more ladies-only spa centres flourishing and interest in fitness growing, enjoying the benefits of down-time has never been easier for Muslim women.

What makes a halal female-only spa centre

 
In Islam, wellbeing and spirituality have always been honoured as a fundamental right, encompassing all aspects of a Muslim’s life. With even the everyday greeting “Assalamualaikum” denoting peace and serenity, Muslims are encouraged to lead a peaceful life and look after their health, as religious life is inseparable from spiritual health. With ladies-only spas and modest swimwear widely available on the market, the benefits of rejuvenating your body are easily accessible to the Muslim woman. Looking after your body is one of the greatest blessings, and tranquility holds great importance within Sufism, for example, with historical figures like Rumi and others making reference to it.

“In silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and watch how the pattern improves” - Jalaluddin Rumi.

Keeping all this in mind, here are our 5 top benefits of attending a spa:

1. Suitable for Families A spa break is suitable for all the family to enjoy, with many offering same-sex masseuses and playgrounds for children to enjoy with some going as far as having kids centres, kids pools and play gyms.
2. Physical and Mental Detox Spa treatments result in releasing endorphins into the bloodstream, which have been found to enhance the immune system and slow down the ageing process. Take this time to rejuvenate, truly bringing a new meaning to your holiday, by having a complete cleanse.
3. Muslim-Friendly Packages Many ‘dry’ or alcohol-free hotels offer wellness packages, with prayer rooms (so you never forget your Islamic duties) and halal food on offer. Muslim women no longer need to feel shy about spa etiquette as they are tailored to the Muslim lifestyle and modest swimwear is no longer frowned upon. Feel confident in your skin whilst enjoying the many treatments on offer.
4. Choose What You Need Your spa break can be tailor-made to your own preferences. Many spa centres offer amenities such as indoor or outdoor pools as well as other luxury amenities. Use the ladies-privacy filters to filter your accommodation options on HalalBooking.
5. Brings Structure and Purpose to Your Trip Knowing your purpose and having an intention allows you to have a trip full of healing. Having a goal at the start of the trip, allows you to unwind and come back feeling refreshed.
