I personally believe that a boudoir photo session is a great way to pamper yourself— And  Whether my clients are traveling from outside of the area, or they live locally, I often get the question about other activities and experiences to do in Savannah before and after our shoot to enhance the indulgent experience even more. I LOVE this question, so I’ve compiled a list of things to do in and around Savannah that will perfectly add to the occasion. 

Y’all come to me with creative ideas for your boudoir photos. You may be doing a solo session, or it may be a group event, like you and your bridal party booking full or mini sessions for your bachelorette party. Whatever the occasion, let me share some great ways to spoil yourself in Savannah.

1. Book a Spa Day 

A spa session is often the first thing we think of when we are ready to treat ourselves. Whether you’re interested in a mani-pedi, a facial or massage, or a full spa experience, there are many places in Savannah to get exactly what you’re looking for. 

Polished Beauty Lounge is a great place to start for out-of-towners who are looking to stay in the heart of everything going on downtown. They offer all-natural and organic skin and nail care, and are awesome with newcomers to the hostess city They’ll work with you to customize your experience, and help you with recommendations for the best things to do, and places to shop and eat during your stay. 

Looking for a mix of chic downtown and historic Savannah vibes, check into Milan Day Spa and book their Queen for a Day Package, or the Savannah Day Spa— Savannah’s first downtown day spa located in a large dreamy renovated Victorian on Oglethorpe St.

If you are looking for a more unique spa experience, or you have a group or event you want to, check out the innovative wellness packages at Corner Suite Wellness Boutique, or have the spa come to you by booking a session with a local mobile spa for your group or event.

2. Snag a Savannah Resort Day Pass

Want an amazing poolside experience, but don’t have a pool? It doesn’t matter where you’re staying, you can even live in the area; the Resort Pass App will give you access to the pool, food services, and other extras like cabanas, fire pits, fitness centers, wifi and more… Check out the available hotels in the area and what they offer and plan a resort day.

3. Stimulate your Senses

Practice the ultimate DIY self-care by getting in on the natural bath products at Nourish on Broughton. Mix your own skincare from masks to scrubs at one of 2 Salacia Salts locations. And if you’re in the Tybee Island area, go to Kelly & Company to experience an essential oil escape. Whether you want bath bombs and luxurious soaps, essential oil drops, roll-ons and lotions, or you want to create your own special products, there is something perfect for every body

4. Release those Endorphins 

For some of us, we feel amazing when we move our bodies. Whether you’re looking for cardio, yoga, or pilates, you can drop into the Otium Studio for a class that fits what you’re looking for. 

Want to get outside and experience the true beauty of Savannah? Forsyth Park offers yoga classes for all levels, you’ll get your zen on among the oak trees and Spanish moss. 

There’s nowhere else on Earth quite like Savannah, and there’s no one else quite like you! Enjoy exploring both with a complete self-care and photo session experience.
