Festival Essentials: How to Recover After Bluesfest
With ringing ears, tired legs and full hearts, you make the long trek back home after a full day of festival festivities. It’s late and sleep probably won’t come for a while with all the adrenaline pumping through your veins. Today was a great day, you think, but one thing’s for sure: tomorrow’s going to be a little rough.
There’s no better way to recover from all the excitements of a summer festival than a visit to the spa. Find out how we’ll be recovering from Bluesfest this year and join us!
9 reasons why you should spend your after-festival at the spa
1. No shoes, no shirt, no problem
Ok, you do have to wear flip-flops, but you’ll get to spend the day in a swimsuit and a cozy robe. Putting comfort above all else is an important part of recovery.
2. Massages are a step away
Got a kink in your shoulder from all the dancing yesterday? Take care of it right away with a massage.
3. There are so many spaces dedicated to rest
In the panoramic pool, on the beach, in a hammock or a lounge chair, the opportunities for relaxation (or a little nap) are endless.
4. Thermotherapy will fix you right up
Thermotherapy is known to help athletes feel better about a grueling workout. Why wouldn’t it work for you? Jumping around, dancing and scream-yelling at your favourite artist on stage is basically a sport.
5. No need for takeout
The spa is home to numerous restaurants with cozy indoor seating and sunny patios. Have your pick from healthy treats to comfort food. You don’t even need to bring your wallet, all you have to do is tap your RFID bracelet and voilà!
6. You can catch a different type of performance
Every day, our Rituals Artisans take centre stage and put on the hottest show there is in our saunas.
7. Embrace the silence
After the loudness of the festival, you can head to the quiet space of the spa to recentre yourself. Bring a journal to try your hand at journaling, give meditation a go, or simply relax.
8. Or keep the socialization going
If you still want to chat about the great shows you saw, there are also social spaces at the spa to keep the conversation going!
9. Exfoliate the grime of the festival away
Our exfoliation station, right beside the Banyä sauna is the perfect place to exfoliate all the dust, dead skin and sunscreen away. Pick between mint salt and lavender salt to glow anew.
