Spa & Leisure
Taking inspiration from its coastal surroundings, the spa at Chewton Glen is dedicated to holistic lifestyle programmes and indulgent treatments, and it has a plethora of awards for its efforts. It isn’t all chilling out by the pool though, there is a gym as well as classes including yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, Physio-Flex, tennis, golf, croquet, jogging trails, beach walks and personal training ‘buddies’ – which makes working out all the more friendly.
This all sits alongside the newly refurbished sophisticated pool hall. The pool hall contains a 17-metre lap pool, a hydrotherapy pool with 13 jet stations to ease muscle aches and pains, a communal steam room, an outdoor whirlpool and drench showers. Each changing room boasts a 10-seater sauna and an amethyst crystal steam room.
There are 12 treatment rooms including a couples’ suite with a private steam room. Skincare comes courtesy of REN products, and The Nail Studio offers Jessica manicures and pedicures with GELeration as an optional choice. Mii makeovers and junior treatments are also on offer within the Nail Studio. Treatments themselves are thanks to working partnerships with Oskia and Natura Bisse.

Lovely spa, lovely evening. Only disappointment was that when I arrived at 5pm I had to preorder my meal for the restaurant that evening.
Preordered a burger and chips for 7pm.
Arrived at 7pm and the waitresses after about five minutes of only coming to the table to bring water (not to ask if I’d like anything else) cottoned on to that I’d preordered. So my meal came at about 7:20 probably. I also had to walk over to the bar and wait for someone to order a glass of wine.
There didn’t seem to be anyone serving drinks in the spa area - whereas a spa like penny hill park will take orders for food and drinks and serve in jacuzzis and pool side.
Also - the sauna and steam and foot spas are in the single sex changing rooms, so I wouldn’t go with my husband, only a female friend or alone.
Beautiful location and great facilities. Staff very welcoming and refreshments excellent. Enjoyed the lunch as great cold buffet with amazing choice of foods to suit all tastes. Daniel the manager of the coffee/lunch venue was so lovely and nothing too much trouble.
My 60 min massage by Sam was fantastic and very professional and enjoyed chilling outside with my friend between treatments overlooking the lovely gardens.
My only disappointment was the “pedicure” we both booked. It was only a quick file and paint - I was aghast that my feet weren’t first soaked/washed and the hard skin gently removed and moisturised? Very surprised the staff would handle someone’s feet without soaking them first. It was a let down after such a lovely day.
Would go again but it’s very expensive compared to other venues admittedly not as plush, so a big treat !
Finally why are the lawns cut on the big noisy lawnmower during the times when people are relaxing outside and eating lunch? It’s happened to me the last time I was there for a birthday lunch and spoiled the ambience-do it late afternoon or early morning?
Highly disappointed, unfortunately, I have always wanted to visit Chewton Glen. I am a regular spa guest and love to try new ones whenever I can.
The relaxation room was more of a corridor between treatment rooms, my other half was given rose tea after his treatment but I was not. The kilner jar dispensing strawberry and mint tea was a nice touch but the pourer was broken.
My robe was tatty and the sleeves were scruffy, I helped myself to another in the dressing room which wasn't much better. The Ren products were lovely but I was pretty surprised at the battered hairdryer and lack of straighteners on the dressing room, the VO5 hairspray and deodorant just looked like someone had left them behind. Continuing with the dressing room, the foot spa was out of order and I think it is a big same that the sauna and steam room are tucked away, this means myself and my other half couldn't enjoy a proper hydro pool circuit. The steam room looks tired and in need of a refurbishment.
The hydro pool was again another disappointment, the lighting is very bright for an evening spa which doesn't show the twinkly lights or glass ceiling. The temperature was not hot enough especially in the outside hot tub, more of a lukewarm tub, unfortunately. Again the heated beds weren't warm enough and the bubbles in the hydro pool were very half-hearted.
Little details were missed, there were no water dispensers in the hydro pool where you need them most but just a drinks fountain, the heated beds need little side tables and there should be a member of staff who comes round to see if you would like a drink.
Not a patch on Pennyhill Park, Limewood or St Pancras.
