How Much Will It Cost

How do you make sure you’re getting the best price on a spa vacation?

First, make sure you understand what kind of spa you’re visiting, and what’s included. A destination spa can be expensive, with prices ranging from $150 to $600 a day per person. But that includes all your meals, most classes and activities, and may even include some spa treatments like massage or facials. Always check to see if tax and service fees are included. They can add a hefty 25%. And you’re likely to want more treatments, so budget that in.

A spa resort, on the other hand, might have an alluring room rate of $150 a night, a great golf course and six swimming pools. But you’ll be paying for all your meals and treatments. They won’t offer as many exercise classes. And you may have to pay $10 or $15 for every yoga class you want to take – or even to have access to the gym and steam room.

Here are some money-saving tips:

* Stay during the week for the lowest rates. Destination spas usually have a three-night minimum. A Thursday night arrival will cost more than a Sunday night arrival.

* Travel off-season. In the Northern part of India , rates are higher in the winter, lower in the summer. It’s the reverse in the Southern part of India and Goa.

* If there is a particular spa you want to experience, get in touch with us. We will let you know about any special savings programs.

* Look at destination spas that are known for good value, like the Ananda in Rishikesh, Amar Vilas Agra, Pousada Tauma Goa etc. . They are rustic, but offer a healthy holiday at an affordable price.

* Some spas are copying the airlines with “frequent spa-er” programs.Ananda Spa Resort in Rishikesh, AMar Vilas Agra, Golden Palms Bangalore etc offer these facilities.
