Day spa girls trips, shoulders down, glasses up

Where are your shoulders right now? If the answer is somewhere near your ears, the girls have noticed. A massage each, bubbly after, and a whole weekend with somewhere to stay, where lying down is part of the plan.

Why the girls keep picking a day spa

There’s a knot in every shoulder in this group.

Each one has its own story. The laptop one, the toddler on one hip one, the one from that spin class and the one nobody can explain. About once a week someone rolls a shoulder and says it out loud: I’d love a massage right now. Everyone agrees with feeling, then goes straight back to carrying everything.

On most days out, the massage is where the fun quietly ends. Nobody wants to sit bolt upright in a rideshare afterwards, and ’I’ll just have a quick lie down at home first’ has finished off more nights out than anyone could count. Here, your own apartment is the next stop.

Your favourite people noticed the tension before you did, so it seems only fair they’re right beside you, glass in hand, when it finally lets go. Being looked after beside the women who’ve seen you at your worst is nothing to feel sheepish about.

Quiet first, then all the chatter.

What happens on a day spa girls weekend

Let the tide go out, then roll back in.

A day spa girls trip with My Ultimate is a massage or treatment for everyone at a day spa, built into a whole girls weekend with somewhere to stay, dinner and drinks.

Robes on, the week left outside.
On the Gold Coast it’s a five star day spa: a fluffy robe each, a round of bubbly and the whole group drifting between the rooftop pool, sauna and steam room. In Sydney a hot tea is waiting while the girls take their turns.
An hour each, then gently rearranged.
A relaxation massage in Sydney. On the Gold Coast, a full hour each from a range of treatments, a massage or a facial, or half of each for anyone who can’t decide. Whoever comes out first can’t offer much of a review beyond ’so good’.
Getting ready, in slow motion.
Back to your own apartment, where lying down is part of the plan. Faces done sitting cross legged on the floor, hair done from the couch, heels off until the very last minute.
Then the tide comes back in.
A bottle of bubbly by the water and dinner on a rooftop in Sydney; a bottle on a rooftop deck and dinner by the water on the Gold Coast. The conversation goes from gentle to completely unhinged in about one round.

Two ways to do a day spa girls trip

Pick your city, pick your robe.

Each one is a whole girls weekend with the day spa built in: somewhere to stay, the food, the drinks and where to next, already in an order that works. Each city’s page has it alongside every other girls weekend there.

Prices are from, per person, for a minimum of six. Accommodation can cost more on busy dates such as school holidays, so we confirm the price for your exact dates.

What kind of girls group a day spa suits

Everyone carrying everything.

It works for the friend who’s been running on flat whites and other people’s calendars, and for the one who rolls a shoulder and says ’I’d love a massage’ about once a week.

Two friends clinking glasses on a rooftop at dusk

The ones who need a weekend off.

It shows in the shoulders first, and everyone can spot it on the others.

The quiet catch up crowd.

Nobody feels any need to fill the silence by the pool, which is its own kind of catching up.

Every age at the table.

From the twenty somethings to the friends who’ve been to every birthday since school.

A milestone birthday.

A robe, a treatment and a toast, then the night still ahead of you.

Mums, sisters and best friends.

Everyone looked after at once, for once.

The group that still wants a night out.

The massage comes first, so dinner and drinks get the relaxed version of everyone.

What pairs well with a day spa

The rest of the weekend, sorted around the robe.

Every day spa weekend already works on its own. These are the things that sit beautifully beside it, and a few of them can be added to the weekends above.

A pamper session

An in room mani pedi to go with the massage. An extra on the Sydney weekend.

A rooftop

Bubbly up high once the robes come off. Already in both weekends.

Grazing at the apartment

For when lying down is the plan. An extra on both weekends.

Brunch the morning after

Mimosas, still glowing. An extra on both weekends.

Tarot readings

Very relaxed, slightly mystical. An extra on both weekends.

Cocktail making

From the steam room to the shaker. An extra on the Gold Coast weekend.

A VIP nightclub booth

For the girls who come out of the spa with energy to burn. An extra on both weekends.

Candle making

Its own weekend in Sydney and on the Gold Coast, and a massage or day spa session can be added to both.

Terrarium making

A winery tour

Its own weekend in Melbourne, Brisbane and on the Gold Coast, and a massage can be added in Brisbane.

A facial

Lie down and let the bowls do the talking.

Good to know before your day spa

The small things the girls will ask about.

Treatments

A relaxation massage in Sydney. On the Gold Coast, a massage, a facial or half of each.

Turns

Treatments happen one by one, so the rest of the group waits by the pool or with a cup of tea between turns.

Afterwards

Your own apartment comes next, so nobody has to sit upright in a rideshare.

Photos

The robe selfie is mandatory. What goes on socials is the group’s call.

Booking a spa day, or a whole girls weekend

Same massage, a very different weekend.

Plenty of groups book a spa day and come out floating. Then everyone has to get home, sit bolt upright in a car and work out who’s still up for dinner, and the glow wears off on the drive.

A day spa girls weekend with My Ultimate has the apartment, dinner and the drinks already lined up after the treatments, so the slow getting ready and the night out happen with everyone still glowing.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.Lying down after the massage is part of the plan.

One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place, still very relaxed.
