Surrounded by the exquisite Cotswolds, the famous waters of Henley-on-Thames, and the shopping hub of Bicester village, spas in Oxfordshire range from luxurious, stylish and sophisticated to warm, welcoming and boutique day spas.
For those looking for a cheap and cheerful spa experience with friends, the likes of QHotels - The Oxford Belfry provide a cost-effective mini break just when you need it most. Meanwhile, Macdonald Randolph Hotel sits in the centre of Oxford itself, on the doorstep of famed local attractions, museums, parks, and of course the iconic university itself.
Groups of friends looking for a spa break worthy of quality time together complete with retail therapy of the highest order, will be met with luxury and plenty of space to chat at Bicester Hotel Golf and Spa. Naturally, it is next door to the famed retail shopping village of the same name. That said, the hotel’s luxury credentials are also what make it a best-selling favourite amongst couples looking for a romantic spa break in Oxfordshire as well.
The extensive swathes of countryside allow Oxfordshire to play host to some of the UK’s best golf courses, which are an ideal accompaniment for couples’ spa breaks, or groups looking to add some different activities into their leisure time.
One of the particularly charming things about Oxfordshire as you venture away from the city itself is the sense of country charm, so easily accessible from metropolises including London. Take, for example, Minster Mill. It is an achingly beautiful country inn enjoying rustic design through the main hotel area, accompanied by a Scandinavian style spa that is the epitome of modern wellbeing.
