21 of the best luxury spa breaks in the UK

Why visit?

Prince Harry chose this 5-star luxury hotel, which is part of the Dorchester Collection, to spend his last night before the royal wedding in May 2018, alongside his brother and best man Prince William - and we’re not surprised! As well as providing a relaxing break, the hotel has a spa with an indoor pool, a gym, Spatisserie and a private sun terrace.

Spa days

There are various spa days to choose from, and the price varies depending on whether you opt for an evening, weekday or weekend. The Afternoon Tea Spa Day is a huge hit with fans, and it includes a 60-minute treatment from a list of six (including a prenatal treatment), but you also get to enjoy the hotel's seasonal afternoon tea served in The Spatisserie and use of the spa facilities. Treatments include facials, massages, pregnancy pamper treatments, cancer care treatments, nails, and body.

"On my trip to Cowarth park, I tried the Ishga Personalised Wellbeing Massage, £160 for 60 minutes. It was an hour of absolute bliss and I really enjoyed how the treatment combines marma massage, lymphatic drainage and traditional Swedish massage techniques to detox and balance the body, whilst relieving tension and stress. I've never felt more relaxed. I would say this would be a great spa day as a treat for your sister or your mum, and the cancer care treatment would be extra special as a gift for someone who's gone through cancer treatment."

Members can book spa days from £270 per person, while rooms start at £625 per night. This includes a personalized larder and access the gardens, estate and spa facilities. Along with going to the spa, a walk around the many gardens is a must, as is eating at one of the three restaurants - the Botanical Rooms in the main hotel, the Garden Café, and the Kitchen in The Farmyard - my personal favorite. The Newt prides itself on its locally sourced ingredients from both its farm and creamery, while their cider, pressed from the estate's own apples, is divine. I also recommend trying their glorious South African wine, Sprankel, which is on the menu at all their restaurants.

"My incredible therapist made me feel so relaxed and let me choose my fragrance for the treatment, she also used a massage ball is also to lift my facial muscles, release tension and increase blood flow for an increased glow and I was glowing for days after. I couldn't recommend the treatment enough!"
