Who says spa days are just for the girls? The lads deserve some pampering, too! We took a break from the daily routine to make sure they got the full treatment—a spa day, mini golf, and topped it off with some of the best steak Cardiff has to offer.
How did the day start?
We kicked things off at one of Cardiff's finest spas, The Wellness Lounge.
Our group was divided into four distinct rooms: the Recovery Lounge, Massage Lounge, Therapy Lounge, and Revive Lounge.
In the Recovery Lounge, we experienced the powerful combination of an ice bath and red light sauna contrast therapy. Together, these treatments work wonders in reducing muscle inflammation, boosting circulation, and accelerating recovery.
The Massage Lounge offered either a deep tissue or sports massage. Whether it was releasing stubborn knots or easing tension, the massage left everyone feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.
In the Therapy Lounge, we were introduced to oxygen therapy. Breathing in concentrated oxygen is said to boost energy levels, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being—an invigorating experience for all.
Finally, in the Revive Lounge, we enjoyed the benefits of pressotherapy. This treatment uses controlled pressure to stimulate circulation and enhance lymphatic drainage, leaving us feeling lighter, refreshed, and revitalised.
Treetop Adventure Golf
Feeling completely relaxed, we headed over to Treetop Adventure Golf in Cardiff for a "friendly" game of mini-golf. Right in the city centre, Treetop Adventure Golf has two jungle-themed courses that we took full advantage of. It's safe to say that more than a few choice words were flying around.
Pasture
After all that fun, we were starving. We headed straight to Pasture, one of Cardiff's most popular steakhouses. The highlight? A massive Côte de Boeuf, perfectly cooked and served with sides that made sure no one left hungry.
From the therapeutic spa treatments to the laughs at mini golf and the incredible steak at Pasture, the day had the perfect balance of relaxation, fun, and indulgence. It's safe to say the lads had a much-needed break, and we're already planning the next one!
