Friends, families, couples and solo spa goers can delight in a range of attractions whilst also dedicating space to relaxation and quality time together. Here, spa hotels and day spas offer everything from a last minute spa day to a lengthy health spa retreat.

Perhaps one of the region’s best known spa hotels is Ragdale Hall Spa in Melton Mowbray. Successfully marrying a reputation for excellence in the health and wellbeing department, as well as a sense of romance and luxury courtesy of its beautiful architecture and grounds, Ragdale Hall is one of the oligarchs of the UK spa industry. It's the kind of spa destination that commands longstanding loyalty from spa goers, and with good reason. As a result, it is consistently amongst the best selling spas in Leicestershire with systematically superb reviews.

Also garnering Leicestershire a reputation for health and wellbeing, is that other industry leader in destination spas, Champneys Springs. Located in Ashby de la Zouche, Champneys Springs is the original health spa experience. This is a place where the food is designed to show that good nutrition doesn’t need to compromise on enjoyment factor, and spa treatments leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated thanks to their potent health benefits.

Then again, this part of the world also offers much by way of unapologetically decadent and luxurious romantic spa breaks. Stapleford Park is a country house hotel where afternoon tea and a glass of bubbles looking out across the estate is a must. Its sufficient scale means that it’s also a treat for groups of friends and hen parties looking for a refined way to celebrate impending nuptials.
