Nothing beats the feeling of putting on a fluffy robe and matching slippers, dipping in a pool and relaxing on a sun lounger until you get a massage. Like the sound of that? Then you'll love a spa experience.

Whether you're searching for the best vouchers, experience days or gifts at a local spa or somewhere further afield, we've done our research to bring you the best spa experiences.

Spa experience in the Buyagift Summer Sale

Looking for a special present? You can get up to half price off selected experiences in the Buyagift Summer Sale. As well as spa and beauty offers, there's also days out and short break deals.

From detoxing in the sauna with your partner to treating yourself to a full-body workout or unwinding in the relaxation room with your sister, there's a spa out there for everyone.

How to choose the perfect gift spa experience

Zerrin Mehmet, Partnerships Manager at Virgin Experience Days, is the business expert in spas - so naturally, we went straight to Zerrin for insider knowledge on how to select the best spa experience.

Zerrin said, "My advice would be to start with how much you want to spend and what you think your partner, friend or family member would enjoy. For example, a champagne afternoon tea or a yoga class!"

She also pointed out, "Spa treatments can be expensive, but it's worth every penny. Treatments start from 30 minutes, but I would always suggest booking a 60-minute session to get the most out of the day. I would also suggest buying a spa experience that includes a spa treatment, lunch or afternoon tea and use of facilities for a complete day out."

Zerrin then going on to add, "I would always recommend a spa for two - going with the person who bought the gift for them is an important part of the experience."

Give a gift, that gives back to you. Now that sounds like heaven, right?
