Before You Book
Important information before you book
Getting to Know You:
On your first visit you will be required to complete our consultation questionnaire before your treatment begins. On subsequent visits, we will only need a brief review in case anything has changed.
​
What to Wear:
Nudity is not permitted at Adonia Hammam and Spa. For steam treatments, we request that ladies and gentlemen should bring their swimwear. Everyone should bring spare underwear to change into before going to the rest area. To reduce single use plastic we no longer offer plastic bags and disposable underwear. We ask our customers to bring a waterproof bag to carry their wet swimwear. We provide our customers with towels and footwear.
​
Jewellery & Valuables:
Please do not wear jewellery during the treatments and if possible leave any valuables at home. Adonia is not responsible for any unlikely damage or loss of items.
​ Safety within the Premises:
Generally, all floor materials are non-slip but even so may become slippery when wet. Please step onto mats as you leave wet areas and walk carefully if footwear is wet.
​
Health Advice:
You must not come to your treatment under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Treatment after a heavy meal is not advisable.
You must declare any recent tattoos from within the previous 3 months, as recently tattooed areas cannot be treated.
We do not offer treatments to pregnant women in the first trimester (first 12 weeks). Discuss treatments with therapist after this date.
​
Groups:
We welcome small groups depending on treatments.
​​
Parking:
Southend Council have introduced a residents' parking scheme east of Hamlet Court Road. Limited free parking is still available in Hamlet Court Road or please consider the car parks at Westcliff Station, Hamlet Court Road (by the London Road traffic lights) or Ceylon Road.
​
​
Accessibility:
Adonia Spa is not wheelchair accessible.
​
Deposits:
We operate with a small margin and undertake significant preparation, heating, and cleaning for every booking at Adonia. When people miss appointments this represents a significant cost to us. As such we usually ask for a deposit of 50% of the treatment cost in advance. If customers need to change or cancel a booking we will do our best to accommodate this but if less than 48 hours’ notice is given a part of the deposit may be retained to cover incurred costs. This is to ensure we can continue to keep our prices competitive.
