Most people have enough things but too little time for themselves. A few days of rest in a beautiful house can therefore be one of the most personal gifts, for Christmas, a birthday or just because. Here you find out how best to give such a gift.
- Many hotels sell vouchers directly, for an amount or a package.
- A value voucher leaves the most freedom; a package feels more personal.
- Check validity, dates and exactly what is included.
Voucher or package
A value voucher for an amount gives the recipient the most freedom: they choose the room, dates and treatments themselves. A package, such as two nights with spa or a check-up, is more concrete and often feels more personal.
For medical programmes such as check-ups or cures, a value voucher usually makes more sense, because the programme is tailored individually with the medical team.
What to look out for
A few questions before you buy.
- How long is the voucher valid?
- Is it transferable if the person cannot go after all?
- What exactly is included: room, meals, treatments?
- Are there periods when it cannot be redeemed?
Sometimes the most beautiful gift is simply time.
Which gift suits whom
For stressed parents or busy professionals, a weekend with spa and calm. For people interested in prevention, a check-up in a house with a medical team. And for couples, a stay together where each can have their own programme.
How to make the gift land well
A health retreat is a personal gift. Consider whether the person will be pleased or might read it as a hint to change something about themselves. If in doubt, emphasise rest and enjoyment rather than fasting or losing weight.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a voucher from Luxly?
Not at the moment. Most houses sell vouchers directly, often as a printed card or PDF to give.
How long is a hotel voucher valid?
It depends on the house and is stated on the voucher.
Can I give a check-up as a gift?
Ideally as a value voucher, because the check-up is planned individually with the medical team.
Luxly does not provide medical advice. Whether a programme suits you is something to discuss with the house's medical team or your own doctor.
