Whether you are male or female, single or married, young or old, we all as human beings have a basic need for human contact and intimacy. We thrive on touch and connection with another. This closeness often arises when we take a break from distraction and relax together — a perfect set-up for a hot and steamy date night in your spa! The simple act of enjoying each other’s company in a soothing environment can easily spell romance.
Planning and preparing for your date can be a fun and creative affair. It might be to celebrate an anniversary or special occasion, or a “just because you’re special” reason. Customize your special evening to the needs and desires of your partner.
Here are some Spa Date ideas to get the sparks flying:
1. The Invitation
How you invite someone to join you (even if you’ve been married 20 years) for the evening can set the tone. Be silly, romantic or playful, the important thing is that you both agree on a time reserved to enjoy together. Though verbal is fine, Here is an example of a invitation you could write to your husband / partner/ wife.
Please join me for a special romantic night together, to delight in the 5 senses:
Smell: aromatherapy
Taste: Refreshing drink and appetizer
Touch: a massage
Hear: some great tunes
See: a galaxy of stars above us
Location: Our Endless Spa
Attire: your robe, birthday suit, and a smile
RSVP with a hug & a kiss!
2. Food Preparations
We suggest keeping the food light. Serve colorful Fruit Kabobs. They are easy, healthy, attractive and delicious! Just skewer your favorite combinations of fruit and refrigerate till date time.
3. Drink Preparations
Lots of room for creativity here, either alcoholic or virgin depending on you and your partner’s preferences. Again, We suggest keeping it light and refreshing.
Simple Virgin Mint Refresher
Fresh mint leaves crushed and mixed with your choice of lemonade, ginger ale, iced tea, or citrus soda and ice. Serve with straw.
Pomegranate Bubbly
Mix right into your drink glass equal parts of Pomegranate juice and champagne. Looks beautiful, tastes great. To make virgin version, substitute club soda for the champagne.
Red Wine Sangria
Mix I bottle of red wine with 2 cups grape juice. Add fruit of your choice- Blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, papaya, sliced apple, sliced lemon, oranges, or lime. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Add 1 small can cold ginger ale just before serving. For virgin option, substitute pomegranate, cranberry, or berry juice for the red wine.
Note: Alcohol can dehydrate your bodies, as well as soaking in hot water, so keep yourselves hydrated with drinking water as well!
4. The Music
The music you choose is important for setting the mood and can make for seductive persuasion. If that’s your goal, I suggest trying romantic R&B or soul music.
This will all depend on your taste, but our recommendation is to pick music that your partner really enjoys and is relaxing. Aim to please in this case.
Enjoy!
Love The Endless Spa Team.
