The seaside resort town of Blackpool is well known for its Pleasure Beach - a traditional amusement park that’s filled with vintage roller coasters - as well as the landmark Blackpool Tower. This and far more sets the scene for spa breaks in and around Blackpool.
Some consider Blackpool the home of ballroom dancing - certainly it has a vibrant culture of entertainment that persists to this day. Annual events like the Blackpool Illuminations (a light show along the Promenade), the British National Dance Championships and locations like the famous Tower Ballroom, as well as its three piers featuring funfairs, music, games and rides, are all testament to its rich tradition of joy, laughter and merriment. It’s many of these elements, as well as attractions like Blackpool Zoo, Sandcastle Water Park and the Winter Gardens that make Blackpool spa breaks a great option for families.
The city also offers much by way of nightlife, restaurants, cafes and shops, making a spa hotel in Blackpool an excellent choice for friends who want to spend quality time together or celebrate a special occasion like a hen party. Bannatyne Blackpool Health Club and Spa is perfect for a spa day.
For those who want to spend part of their spa day in Blackpool, exploring the sites, but then retreat away from the buzz of city life, there are lots of options not too far away. For example, Netherwood Hotel & Spa is a Victorian country house hotel that’s perfect for romantic escapes and Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa is perfect for those looking to combine golf and spa experiences just over an hour from Blackpool itself.
