The Summer Edit: coastal spa breaks
Few things say 'summer holiday' quite like a trip to the seaside - adding spa treatments to sun, sea and sand is the perfect combination for rest and relaxation.
Read full postWhether it's a gift for someone else, a spa party, the pre-party before you paint the town red, or rest and recovery after the night before, there's always a spa break to help you celebrate.
On special occasions you should feel your absolute best - pampered, cared for, indulged, and well, all at once - everything that a spa break has to offer. From wedding anniversaries to 21st birthdays, fab fortieths to baby showers, there's a spa break that's best for every occasion - you just need to know where to find it.
From mums and dads to boyfriends, girlfriends and best friends, when it comes to giving yourself or a loved one the TLC they deserve, a world of wellbeing experiences, beautiful environments, champagne afternoon teas, Michelin Star dinners and much more awaits.
An adult-only retreat, Hoar Cross Hall harps back to a bygone age of romance but with all the modern luxuries. The hotel is an Elizabethan manor with beautiful details intact such as hand carved monograms in the ballroom, William Morris wallpaper and Sienna marble mantelpieces. Meanwhile, award-winning food includes much that’s been grown on the estate, and the spa is the piece de resistance. Amongst the manicured lawns, rose beds, box hedges and woodland, spend your time strolling in the grounds and playing croquet, before retreating to the saltwater vitality pool and myriad of facilities and treatments that are perfect for sharing.
Whether you go for a spa day or a spa break, Pennyhill Park Hotel and Spa is the height of luxury. If you opt for an overnight babymoon break, few things could be more decadent than the five star hotel with its Michelin Star restaurant. Meanwhile, a spa day can include beautiful food, plenty of space, amazing facilities, and dedicated prenatal treatments using their own product line and a unique cushion to help balance that bump. There are indoor and outdoor facilities, including gorgeous private cabanas to relax in semi-privacy, each complete with a copper bath, loungers, a fridge filled with drinks, tea and coffee facilities, and the option to order food.
With space in abundance and lots to do, Whittlebury Hall is ideally set up for large groups, which makes it perfect for birthday celebrations. Tribute nights are a regular occasion in this hotel, so you can combine a party night with a day or more of pampering. Alongside a spacious hotel and grounds with their own golf course, the Day Spa is all-encompassing, with an expansive thermal suite with plenty of space for all your friends, and 23 treatment rooms including a hammam chamber.
This is an opportunity to make a whole mini break out of proposal plans. Chewton Glen is known as one of the most luxurious spa hotels in the UK. Offering everything from award-winning dining to exceptional spa facilities and a beautiful location, a proposal can really be set apart with a stay in one of their Treehouse Suites. Go to sleep close to the stars and wake in the morning to see deer roaming below in the morning mist, and choose your moment for an unforgettable chance to say ‘yes!’
This luxury spa hotel is called a village for a reason - it's a total feast of experiences making it perfect for hen parties. Ribby Hall Village itself is a five-star holiday village complete with multiple dining experiences and a four-star, adult only Spa Hotel. The spa has a raft of facilities, not least an Aqua Thermal Journey and a Zen Garden complete with a salt sauna with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, a refreshing monsoon shower with body jets, and a second hot tub.
For stylish stag dos, spas can offer a world of entertainment, activities, great food, and space to unwind whether you fancy golf, country pursuits or a Michelin Star restaurant. Swinton Estate is a great option, set in 20,000 acres stretching from the River Ure in Wensleydale to the moors - it's grand and offers a world of outdoor pursuits. Dine in the award-winning Samuel’s Restaurant, spend time in the spa, and head out to enjoy the estate with activities including clay-pigeon shooting, falconry, fishing, and shooting.
