Busy day?
Life’s hectic, and what better way to relax and get some much needed me-time than spending a full day in the sanctuary of a soothing day spa? De-stress, heal and unwind with a pampering treatment, or put your feet up and relax next to a heated pool.Day spas are designed to let you switch off and recharge, from their happy scents to their warm open spaces. Here are some of our favourites for a super treat:
1. Eden Hall, Nottinghamshire
First impressions count and you won’t be disappointed as you roll up to the beautiful Grade II-listed Eden Hall. Built in 1975, this spa offers four different relaxation areas, an aqua detox centre and a salt-water vitality pool. There’s also plenty of lush outdoor space to explore, so you can get back to nature and refresh your senses. Or cosy up with a cup of steaming hot chocolate after your treatment. Complete your restful day with a night at our Travelodge Nottingham Riverside Hotel.
2. Ayush Wellness Spa, Jersey
A winner of numerous awards, the Ayush Wellness Spa is found on the beautiful island of Jersey, sitting just off the coast of Normandy, France. Spa guests are treated like royalty: just what you need. And you can either catch up on much-needed rest or try a range of treatments from an Ayurvedic menu of massages for the body, head and feet. There are also plenty of yoga and meditation classes if you want to pick up the skills to destress and rejuvenate daily.
3. Turkish Baths & Health Spa, Harrogate
Fittingly located in the gorgeous spa town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire, the traditional Turkish Baths & Health Spa (sometimes known as a hammam) take you on a journey through a series of heating and cooling rooms to cleanse your body and clear your mind. Turkish baths became popular with the Victorians for the total relaxation they offer. Today, these baths offer a variety of treatment packages. For the real Turkish experience, pick a full body exfoliation and prepare for a serious rub down. Book a room at our Harrogate Travelodge hotel and spend the evening enjoying the picturesque town and its cosy restaurants.
4. The Woodland Spa, Lancashire
Aptly named for the 100 acres of gorgeous countryside that it sits on, the Woodland Spa is the perfect place for peace and relaxation. There are several spa day packages to choose from. Or experience the detoxifying power of the Thermal Experience, taking you through a sauna, steam and circulation-boosting ice water.
5. Thermea Bath Spa, Bath
Relax and enjoy the views in the naturally warm, mineral-rich waters of the famous open-air rooftop bath at the Thermea Bath Spa. Two thousand years ago Celts and Romans splashed in the warming pools, and in the Victorian era doctors would prescribe their patients with a stay in Bath to ‘take the waters’. These days the Thermea Bath Spa is the only natural thermal spa in Britain, offering two pools and a range of treatments. You should try the Watsu water therapy for total muscle relaxation.
