Last year, CACI, who are famous for their "non-surgical face lift" using their leading technologies and treatments, celebrated 30 years of anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation expertise. Standing the test of time and looking age-fabulous in the process, where can you get one of their treatments?
A famously luxurious spa in the Cotswolds, Calcot & Spa is the whole ticket when it comes to wellness. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful grounds, which are stylish and tranquil, and the spa is a destination in its own right. There's a dedicated spa restaurant and a wealth of facilities that range from an elegant 16-metre heated indoor pool to a three-kilometre Trim Trail. Their treatments are a feast of wellness opportunities, from holistic ELEMIS therapies to results-driven CACI facials to target specific skin issues.
A casual country house hotel, Sketchley Grange Hotel sits between Leicester and Coventry. A four-star destination, it's got charming rooms and a highly recommended modern restaurant with garden views. The spa has a Neoclassical vibe with a suite of thermal experiences including a pool, whirlpool, sauna, steam room, and solarium to prepare you for a range of treatments using Decléor, Dermalogica, CACI, and St Tropez.
A pretty property dating back to the 16th-century, Macdonald Alveston Manor Hotel is a four-star hotel in Shakespeare country. It's a romantic destination, complete with an AA Rosette-awarded fine dining restaurant, as well as beautiful spaces for afternoon tea. The spa is a tranquil, contemporary space where you can swim in the pool while taking in views of the grounds. Then choose from treatments that range from facials and massages to wraps and scrubs from Endermologie as well as CACI facials.
A luxurious day spa in West Sussex, The Beauty Island Sanctuary is available for exclusive use, and it's all about pampering. That means that while facilities are limited to a hydrotherapy hot tub and a sauna to prepare skin and muscles to get the most out of your treatments, everything hinges on the therapies. On an extensive treatment menu, they offer holistic facials and massages from Dermalogica, Natural Spa Factory and Bielenda, as well as non-surgical facials from CACI, LED phototherapy, and on-site aesthetics. For finishing touches they have two Ergoline tanning beds, waxing, tinting, manicures and pedicures.
One of our longstanding favourite spa destinations, Ardencote is a welcoming hotel and spa destination set in 83 acres of grounds. They are a four-star destination and have an award-winning restaurant. Guests enjoy views of the lake from different corners of the hotel, and the spa is in a former Victorian Coach House, transformed into a contemporary wellbeing experience. The Destination Spa invites you to spend a day experiencing their beautiful thermal journey which includes indoor and outdoor facilities. We particularly love the outdoor Tyrolean Kilo sauna. Treatments use a fusion of Elemis, Fake Bake, and Jessica products in addition to a choice of CACI non-surgical facelifts and micro-dermabrasion.
