The average cost of a spa day is anywhere between $100 and $200, although there are people who pay as little as $30 or as much as a few thousand dollars, depending on the promotions or coupons they snatch, the place they go to, and the services they get.

If you’re looking for a great deal, then usually, the most affordable approach would be to just go on a simple day trip and enjoy a relaxing treatment on the spot, without a lot of additions.

For people who have some money to spend, it would be better to just book an overnight stay in a luxury spa and enjoy all of the services and surrounding areas. It’s not uncommon for a luxurious spa day to include manicures and pedicures, a Swedish massage, sauna, a lot of relaxation, and a lot of fun, among others.

Overall, anything inside the $100 to $200 price is considered decent, and as long as you don’t want some special features or additional services, should be enough for a spa day.
