SPA

Initialism for protection

A spa is a place offering health and beauty treatments—massages, facials, soaking in mineral waters.

The word comes from the Belgian town of Spa, famous for its therapeutic hot springs.

By extension, spa describes any facility with a hot tub or whirlpool bath: The hotel has a spa and fitness center.

A day spa offers treatments without overnight stays.
