Speak to the spa. The first thing you should do is to speak to the spa staff to ask about the usual temperature and weather conditions at the spa and how the weather is leading up to your visit. This will help you determine if you should bring warmer or lighter clothes and prepare for rain or excessive heat and sunshine.
Ask the spa about facilities and services. Especially if your spa visit is a bit longer, asking the spa if they have laundry facilities, bath robes and towels is a good way to figure out what to pack. In all likelihood, a spa will have everything you need. However, some spas have specific policies about things like robe and towel use. So, to be sure, call ahead and ask.
Pack lightly and pleasantly. Packing a small bag, even if you use another larger bag as well, will help ensure that at least some of your things arrive with you, especially if you're traveling to the spa by plane. Pack easily washable and lightweight clothes like spandex. Pack to relax and not to impress. Also remember to bring your favorite reading material such as magazines and quick novels.
Remember what not to pack. When packing for a spa visit it's almost as important to remember what to leave behind as it is to remember what to pack. Packing materials for work, fancy clothing and multiple pairs of shoes will only help you bring the chaos and stress of your daily life into the spa with you. So, be careful to leave behind what you don't really need or want.
