5 budget spa breaks to book this winter

Here are some places you can visit if you are looking for a well-deserved reset.

Who doesn’t love a spa break, especially when it’s on a budget?

Whether it’s for a day or a weekend, going to the spa is a great way to bond with family, friends or even yourself. You can detox, breathe and experience a full-on and well-deserved reset.

1. Reynolds Fitness Retreat, Kent

From £59.00

With three branches in Bexley, Sittingbourne and a woodland retreat in Sevenoaks, Reynolds Fitness Spa has found a unique way to create an environment separate from all the hustle and bustle life often brings, where people can fully commit themselves to a time of indulgent relaxation.

Taking inspiration from Georgian architecture, the spa in Bexley has a sauna, steam room, whirlpools and even a heated swimming pool for you to release any unwanted tension in your mind, body and soul.

It also includes a monsoon shower, heated tiled lounger and fully automated foot spa, similar to what’s available to use at the spa in Sittingbourne.

From the mum-to-be experience, and escape packages to sanctuary packages, discovery packages and the afternoon experience, which range from 25 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes, and can include breakfast on arrival, bubbly, aromatherapy, decollete massages or lava shell full body massages, Reynolds Fitness Spa, has something for every occasion.

2. The Swan Hotel and Spa, Newby Bridge, Lake District

From £35.00

Inside The Swan Hotel you will find Holte Spa – curated by Temple Spa, a luxury skincare brand – where they have everything from treatments, thermal journeys, spa days, and breaks and can even host your summer parties.

If you want to spend an evening at a spa, then the Twilight session would be the one for you. It’s only available from Friday-Sunday between 6:00pm-8:00pm. Spa days also include thermal and afternoon tea, champagne and truffles, just to name a few.

But if you want to extend the relaxation, The Swan Hotel, also offers short-term and long-term stays in their boutique rooms, where you could also visit their qualified nurse and aesthetics practitioner for treatments including microneedling and dermaplanning. It’s also dog-friendly too, with plenty of grounds to take them on scenic walks.

3. Cottons Hotel and Spa, Cheshire

From £55.00

Cottons Hotel and Spa includes seven luxurious treatment rooms, complemented by a peaceful relaxation area. Additionally, it features many facilities, including a hot tub, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, poll and gym for a comprehensive wellness experience.

One of its most popular offers is the Ultimate Experience (£100 Monday-

Friday, £110 Saturday-Sunday) which includes The Temple Spa Ultimate Glow Treatments (1 hour 20 min), 2 hours of use of the facilities plus a glass of fizz or Peroni.

But its most popular spa day is either the Morning or Afternoon Ritual (£110 Monday-Friday, £120 Saturday-Sunday) which includes a 50-minute treatment, use of the facilities plus either light lunch or afternoon tea.

And for a great night’s sleep to complete your spa break, you can book a stay in one of their hotel rooms.

4. The Athenaeum Hotel, Mayfair, London

From £60.00

The boutique spa at The Athenaeum Hotel is open from 9:00am-7:00pm every day but requires people to book in advance.

You can book body massages, facials, scrubs, and signature treatments, or something bespoke to your specific needs, like anti-ageing eye treatment, foot massage, Indian head or hot stone massage, or glorious mud wraps.

Whether you are visiting the spa to reconnect with yourself in the heart of London, get that outer glow back or just have a day with friends to indulge, there are various packages for you to pick from. Especially if you plan on going with one other person, there’s more value for your money.

5. Mullion Cove Hotel and Spa, Cornwall

From £69.00

Mullion Cove Hotel and Spa offers guests spectacular views of the ocean, first and foremost.

If you would like a spa break, day experience and treatments at a clifftop luxury spa, set above the Mullion Cove harbour, where organic salt treatments are available, then making the trip could be worth it.

You can either catch your breath in the morning or afternoon or invigorate your senses with a ‘sea spray’ – a tailored spa session – and if your spa break is with a romantic partner, there are also other treatments just for that too.

Their unique ‘secret seaweed’ day escape includes a body wrap session to hydrate and relax you, a skin nutrient shot with a facial, time spent in a secluded rejuvenation room with ocean views and a fireplace, and a two-course meal at their Glenbervie Bistro.
