Beyond the fairways: Why The Belfry’s true masterclass is found in its spa
Famed for its golfing heritage and facilities, this world-class destination has more than one feather in its cap.
Read full postThere's nothing quite like a view of the sea to leave you feeling rested and restored, and the dramatic views from The Spa Hotel, Saltburn are the epitome of coastal wellness.
The first thing to note about The Spa Hotel, Saltburn is how warm and welcoming they are. This family-run spa hotel is rooted in that personal, invested approach to hospitality, and while wellbeing is a major emphasis, there's no limit on who can enjoy it. It's an idyllic destination for families, couples, surfers, dog walkers and anyone else who wants a restful getaway.
The theme here is very much seaside inspired, so there's an understated beach chic vibe that permeates the interiors. Rooms are in tranquil, muted tones that sit in harmony with the landscape outside, and always retaining a reverence for the star of the show - the views.
The location is one of the major hallmarks of The Spa Hotel, Saltburn. The property is oriented towards the water, taking in the views of the dramatic North Sea and the surrounding countryside in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire. This is the inspiration for wellness - watching the waves roll in is deeply meditative, but also inspiration to head outside for a stroll on the beach or maybe even a seasonal swim.
As the name suggests, alongside the healing properties of the salty sea air, the spa is a defining part of a visit to this hotel. For fitness you're encouraged to enjoy nature's marvels - visiting a nearby surf school or walking along The Cleveland Way. However, back at the hotel, The Amber Rooms are a haven of pampering, whether you want non-surgical, anti-ageing skin rejuvenation and Dermaplaning or holistic therapies from Elemental Herbology, and specialist skincare line, Environ.
Completing the experience is the culinary offering. Proudly showcasing Yorkshire fare, the restaurant serves up a feast throughout the day, with something for everyone. Try a Full Yorkshire breakfast, a wide ranging lunch menu, a dinner menu, children's menu and a doggy menu (with their own version of Yorkshire pudding and gravy). A firm favourite for utter decadence is their fondue complete with Terry's chocolate orange, brownies, and chunky shortbread fingers.
