With a long weekend of unwinding ahead, these treatments are sure to help you both de-stress, so get back to bed (massage bed that is), and relax this bank holiday.

1 The water works
Unwind and recharge in hydrotherapy pools and hot tubs. The small jets help release muscle tension and boost your wellbeing. While we're on the subject of water, a cold bath can increase blood flow, ease inflammation and stimulate your senses.

2 A deep-cleansing facial
You'll be make-up free in the spa anyway (well, you'll want to be, because post-sauna panda eyes push the laissez-faire look to its limits). It's actually liberating to have your skin exfoliated and the impurities removed together with your partner. Most importantly, afterwards you'll get that kind of glow that brides have when they walk down the aisle.

3 Two-together treatments
Rasul treatment: you plus a selection of muds that you're free to slather all over each other. By our calculations, that equals a recipe for success. When it's combined with steam and followed by massage, this will leave your senses so heightened it might be time to leave. Or, if you'd prefer something more serene, you can't go wrong with a relaxing side-by-side manicure

4 The all-time favourite: a couple's massage
Yes, it's a classic, but when it comes to setting the mood, it's a no-brainer: the couple's massage wins every time. Tried and tested, it's top of the list because the feel of physical touch helps you de-stress and it'll relieve muscle tension. Well, yes, also you'll be half-naked in a room together. Mix it up with hot stones or aromatherapy for a change from the usual Swedish massage. You'll come out so relaxed your partner will never think twice about going with you to the spa again. Hopefully.
