Here’s a list of some sexy, soothing pampering packages at local spas:
Alderbrook, a stunningly relaxing spot on Hood Canal, is offering several romantic spa treatments, available throughout the whole month of February. The Besos is a 60-minute cocoa-infused exfoliating rub for two that leaves your skin glowing and soft ($105 per person); The Cupid’s Bow is a longer experience consisting of an aromatherapy bath for two, a 90-minute couples massage, 30-minutes of reflexology and a bottle of red wine to share ($305 per person) and Honey with my Honey (available February 14 through 18 only), a honey-infused skin treatment for two followed by a milk and honey moisturizing bath and finished with a shea butter relaxation massage ($600 total), a two and a half hour indulgence that will leave your skin ready for some major Valentine’s Day action.
If an in-city spa day is more your speed, head to Elaia spa at the Hyatt Olive 8 for The Lover’s Escape, a 60-minute couple’s massage complete with sparkling wine and truffles ($260) or For Your Love, a pampering solo escape with a 90-minute massage followed by a 90-minute facial and ending with lunch at Urbane and a glass of bubbly ($270). Sometimes, especially for busy moms, time alone at the spa is just what the doctor of love ordered.
Indulge in chocolate, strawberries and serious soak at Bellevue’s Yuan Spa. Sign up for their Valentine’s couples 60-minute signature massage and 50-minute Chinese body scrub ($415) or go solo and enjoy a Strawberry & Chocolate ($105), either way, all services over $89 include complimentary access to their relaxing hydrotherapy pools.
