day spa

Local relaxation venue

A day spa is a facility offering beauty and relaxation treatments—massages, facials, manicures, body wraps—without overnight accommodations.

Unlike destination spas or resort spas, you visit for a few hours and go home: She spent the afternoon at a day spa getting a facial and a massage.

The term distinguishes these establishments from spas requiring extended stays.
