"The festive season is a beautiful flurry of gatherings, glittering lights and good intentions, yet it so often leaves us stretched thin. Between last-minute shopping, social commitments and the pressure to make everything feel magical, calm can feel out of reach."
What we need... is a pause, for tranquillity! And multiple award-winning SenSpa, part of Careys Manor Hotel in Brockenhurst, is a haven of serenity in the heart of the New Forest.
The festive season is a beautiful flurry of gatherings, glittering lights and good intentions, yet it so often leaves us stretched thin. Between last-minute shopping, social commitments and the pressure to make everything feel magical, calm can feel out of reach. If you’re craving a pause, or know someone who desperately needs one, Hampshire Spa SenSpa’s new Yim Yai Spa Day is a gentle, soul-soothing escape.
Yim Yai is a Thai phrase meaning “big smile”, and this new spa day has been created precisely to bring one back to your face through stillness, warmth and deeply restorative care.

What Is the Yim Yai Spa Day?
Available Tuesday to Thursday, the Yim Yai Spa Day is a carefully curated mid-week experience that nurtures mind and body without demanding a full day away. Guests are welcomed from 9.30am and invited to sink into SenSpa’s award-winning hydrotherapy and health-club facilities.
Your day includes:
- Full use of SenSpa’s hydrotherapy and spa facilities
- A delicious Thai-inspired two-course lunch at the Zen Garden restaurant
- Your choice of a 30-minute massage or facial, tailored to relax, replenish and revive
- Spa access until 2.30pm, giving you time to fully unwind
It’s a moment of sanctuary delivered with SenSpa’s signature Thai-influenced approach - a blend of wellness, warmth and sensory calm that gently releases tension.

A Sanctuary for the Senses
SenSpa is one of the most serene spa hotels in Hampshire, renowned for its expansive facilities and tranquil atmosphere. Warmth wraps itself around you from the moment you arrive: the soft glimmer of water in the hydrotherapy pool, the aromatic drift of essential oils, the hush of relaxation rooms where time seems to slow.
As you move between saunas, steam rooms, hydrotherapy pools, experience showers and quiet spaces, your breath naturally deepens. Muscles loosen. The mental clutter of the season begins to soften.
Then comes your chosen treatment, whether you prefer a restorative massage or a brightening facial. Each one is guided by gentle Thai-inspired techniques that lull the body into softness and bring a quiet stillness to the mind. As skilled hands ease away tension, you may feel the stresses of the season simply melt away.
Afterwards, you move onto lunch where fragrant Thai dishes await. The aroma of lemongrass, warm ginger and fresh herbs rises gently from the plate, creating a moment that feels both nourishing and grounding.
This is the heart of the Yim Yai experience: a chance to feel at ease again, to rediscover that “big smile” inside you.
