#TreatYoSelf - Charleston, SC Edition

Post date: 2018-09-20 09:20:07

In a few weeks my raggedy crew is making our annual pilgrimage to Charleston to celebrate our friend's birthday. This year we've coalesced around the idea of adding a "pamper day" to our routine and it's fallen on me to plan. The problem: we're a granola group that's better versed in setting up tents than scheduling spa treatments. Can you help me plan an awesome pamper day? Snowflakes inside.

Most of the logistics/details are sorted, besides this pamper day:
Day 1: Arrive after work, stay in and catch up
Day 2: Hit the beach during the day, hit the town at night, eat someplace nice for the Birthday boy
Day 3: Pamper day
Day 4: Breakfast and leave

Our group normally tends toward grimy backpacking trips; so we think it'd be fun to lounge around in robes and get massages and manipedis and all that jazz. Except, I've never stepped foot in a spa nor had a manipedi and I don't know what I should be looking for or how to plan it. Can you help?

Some folks in our group are more price sensitive than others, so I'd like to keep it under $100 per person for the day--I know that's not enough to do everything, so how would you spend it? We can spend more if the costs can be concealed (for instance, a few of us informally rotate picking up the check for nice meals.)

We've all lived/spent significant time in the area, so I'm not looking for broader recommendations like restaurants or bars or things to see, just the best ways to get ridiculously relaxed and #treatyoself. Thank you!

Extra bits:
- Group is 5-6 men
- I'm flying in, so I don't want to buy/ship a bunch of robes
- I said massages and manipedis, but truly know nothing about this--if mud treatments and facials are cheaper/better, I'm all ears!
