Defined by standing apart from a hotel, day spas rely on marketing and word of mouth to attract clients rather than overnight footfall. Here are 5 who inspire us on social media…

Located near Wokingham, Nirvana Spa is the UK's leading pure water retreat. The day spa features crystal-clear lagoons flowing with water drawn from a natural aquifer beneath the building.
From the The Celestial Pool which allows visitors to float away under a starlit sky to the candlelit Tepidarium and majestic Roman baths Nirvana Spa has no issue with being Instagrammable but still makes the effort to slay the algorithm by jumping on to popular trends which pays off for them big time in engagement.
Pure Spa

Pure Spa was established by Becky Lumsden, a beauty-obsessed chartered accountant who dreamed of fronting her own business, especially after noticing a gap in the market for urban professionals wanting wellness.
Combining essential spa and beauty treatments ‘for time-starved individuals,’ Pure Spa is open late throughout the week to offer clients well-being and beauty treatments after a long day in the city.
With now over 20 day spas across Scotland and England, it’s interesting to see how each location (which has it’s own social account) approaches their marketing and how they highlight the uniqueness of each team.
The Bath House

The unpretentious day spa’s feed is a wealth of inspiration for how to do UGC right with visitor videos detailing their banya journey to explaining the wonderful eastern European drinks and dishes also on offer.
