What to Bring to Your Spa Day
If you’ve never been to a spa, you may be worried about what to bring to your spa day:
- Wear comfortable clothing you can get in and out of easily and sandals.
- Don’t forget to bring a bathing suit to enjoy some of the other spa amenities.
- A bathing suit. Spas have jacuzzis, pools, and other “wet” amenities you may want to enjoy after your treatment.
- Anything you may need to tie your hair back or put it up and away.
Resense Spa at Kempinski Hotel: A Luxurious Experience
The spa is inside the Kempinski Hotel in Accra, so that is where you will want to catch a ride for your service. Upon arrival, you will go through security before being granted entry into the facility. Once inside the hotel, you can either follow the signs to the spa or ask one of the staff members for directions. Once we arrived at the spa lobby, my friend and I were greeted with warm smiles, guava juice, and hot hand towels. While enjoying our refreshing juice, we filled out a short health questionnaire. The spa’s locker room features lockers, large mirrors, bathrooms, and changing rooms.
Keep in mind that filming and taking pictures is generally not allowed throughout the spa IF there are other spa attendees around to respect their privacy.

The Journey Spa Package
We opted for “The Journey” spa package for 1650 cedis ($137.01) when we paid for this service. The Journey begins inside a steaming room where we were each directed to lay on a rock bed. Two attendants came inside the room and rubbed our bodies with black soap and various products to soften our skin. Once the 10 minutes passed, with our bodies still covered with products, we were wrapped with towels and taken into the hammam. The walls were adorned with beautifully patterned tiles and mosaics, creating a calming atmosphere. Soft music played in the background, adding to the serene ambiance and a faint yet noticeable use of fragrant aromas.
Once we were wholly rinsed and removed the products from our bodies, it was time for our 60-minute classic massage. Planning Tip: If you choose to visit the Resense Spa and do a spa treatment like this with another person, please keep in mind that you will be fully undressed near that person throughout the first half of the treatment or Hammam experience.
Additional Amenities and Relaxation
The private lounge really helped seal the spa day for me. The lounge is a space where guests can continue to unwind after their treatment. *The spa also has a spa cafe where you can order food and have it brought to you while in the private lounge. Once you are done with your spa treatment and a small snack in the private lounge, you will have access to various amenities at the Resense Spa in an area called the “Bathing Experience”. All of the amenities at the spa were lovely. There was one other woman in the jacuzzi while we were there, and we were advised that we may have to limit our picture and video-taking in case she felt uncomfortable.
There’s no need to feel too worried by the work-week. Because there’s always Spa-day and Sunday to recover. Whether you need a weekend retreat or a mid-week reboot, the spa therapists in Accra can help to restore your energy. A relaxing appointment could be your ticket to serenity. And the Fresha app is a great place to start, with speedy payments, easy rebooking, and local discounts during quiet times. So unplug from the world, while you recharge your own wellness battery.
Final Thoughts
My time at the Resense Spa in Accra was my best spa experience yet. The only thing I did not like was feeling rushed toward the beginning of the experience to get changed into a robe and begin the spa treatment. However, this is understandable because the facility runs on an appointment-based system. I just would have appreciated more time to settle into the experience. If you have time to stop by the Resense Spa while in Accra I highly recommend that you do so!
