Easter is traditionally a joyful time of fresh new beginnings. The spring flowers are in full bloom and the days are getting longer. That fresh feeling in the air also inspires a fresh start for health and wellbeing, and an opportunity to start making the most of Easter spa breaks with beautiful gardens, al fresco facilities and embracing the great outdoors.
Perhaps you see Easter spa breaks as a time to embrace the botanical beauty that’s coming into bloom at this time of year. In that case, few places can be more beautiful than the aptly named Garden Secret Spa at Ringwood Hall Hotel complete with luxury details such as its blossom steam room. Equally, some of the most beautiful spas in the UK are now designed to bring the magic of the outdoors in. Head to South Lodge and its eco spa under a grass and sedum roof, and swim in their unique wild swimming pool.
A visit to Rudding Park and its exceptional rooftop spa is also enchanting, especially in the spring, complete with an infinity pool overlooking the grounds, and glass surrounded saunas and steam room so you can look at the gardens whilst feeling totally spoiled. Alternatively, you might prefer the dramatic Cumbrian vistas at Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa, where you can swim towards Derwentwater and the Catbells mountain range.
Of course, Easter is also associated with newborn babies, and family. So for mums-to-be, it’s a wonderful time to experience soothing pregnancy spa treatments, friends to organise spa baby showers, or for couples to luxuriate in baby moon spa breaks together. Equally, for those with children who want to take them on a relaxing spa break over the Easter holidays, spa hotels such as Woolley Grange from the Luxury Family Hotels collection, Celtic Manor or Foxhills Club and Resort, offer time out and time together in style.
