health spa
Relaxation and rejuvenation
A health spa is a facility offering treatments for relaxation and physical well-being—massages, saunas, facials, and similar services.
Some health spas emphasize fitness programs or weight loss; others focus on pampering.
The term distinguishes these establishments from mineral springs or resort spas: We spent the afternoon at a health spa getting massages.
