Research has found that spending time with your best friends is legitimately healthy for you. 

As you get older, making time for your friends can sometimes be difficult, as making plans with your besties gets pushed aside, as other parts of your life take over.  

With Women’s Day around the corner, don’t make that excuse. Take a night out of all the responsibilities and spend some quality time with your bestie, side kick or confidant. 

These are the women that are there for you, no matter what.   Every woman needs a person like this in their lives- it could be a friend, a sister or brother, mother or grandmother - no matter who fills that space in your life; it’s an incredibly important one!  

Best friends are there for you in the good times and the bad, they never judge you, yet they will always be honest when you’re heading down the wrong road. 

What better way to celebrate with your bestie this Women’s Day than to book into a local hotel near home. Kick start the night away with an early evening spa, followed by getting ready by starting at the bar with a few cocktails and followed by a delicious catch up dinner with the next day, possibly shopping up a storm at the nearest shopping mall. A perfect night away option in the city is The Royal Palm Hotel in Umhlanga – the perfect home away from home, who just happen to have an onsite spa featuring a wide range of spa treatments, intimate bar and the perfect dining out experience at the comfortable Thyme@Royal restaurant. Right across the road is Gateway Shopping Centre - it’s perfect for the girls this Women’s Day.   

If you’d like to book a night out with the girls or need a reason to reunite with your besties, and spoil yourselves.  Call +27(0)31 581 8000, or visit the website to see a full list of treatments available at http://www.royal-palm.co.za
