Most fathers work long and hard to make sure their families are taken care of, so it only makes sense to give him a break every once in a while so he can enjoy some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, they frequently regard spas and wellness centres as exclusive to women or as something utterly foreign – just because it is uncommon does not mean that fathers do not deserve or require pampering.
This Valentine’s day, instead of adding another handy dandy power tool to his collection that he rarely uses, why not show some love for all of his hard work by gifting him some quality ‘me-time’ where HE gets pampered? In this article, we take a look at some of the best spots for fathers to enjoy some me-time alone.
