What should I pack to take to a spa?

Not a lot -- but if you're staying, you may need a glam garment as well as your swimming costume.

Daytimes are easy; you will spend most of the day in a robe and swimming costume. Add some gym clothes and shoes for exercise sessions, plus a warm fleece and pair of loose trousers for walking outdoors.

Evening dress varies; at some spas, people do tend to get dressed up in a casual sort of way for dinner. Ditch the diamonds and low-cut dresses, though, and go for something comfortable but smart: a plain dress or silk trousers and tunic top, for instance.

At many places, however, it's fine to wear loose trousers and a t-shirt. Check out the pictures in the spa brochure or on their website so you can get some idea, or call up and ask.
