Sunningdale Park Hotel

The UK' best spas | Holiday Homes Europe™

Whether it’s a special anniversary, a big birthday or simply a celebration of success, spa days or spa holidays are often a popular option for a special gift or holiday destination. With such a wealth of spa hotels UK wide offering such a range of programmes and treatments, choosing the right one can be a daunting process. These are just a few of the best.

The idea of ‘spa days’ dates back to Roman times, when the wealthy or ill would travel to natural spas – hot springs that come straight out of the ground, as seen in Rome or Bath. The spa days of today have evolved to mean much more than sitting around in a natural swimming pool, with most spas now offering a range of diverse treatments, workshops, pools and massages, from Indian head massage and hot stone massage to facials, pedicures and Pilates classes.

Not everyone can afford the time and money required for a spa day in Rome. Fortunately, spa breaks UK wide have become increasingly luxurious in recent years; the UK is home to hundreds of impressive spas, from reputable, chain companies to characteristic, smaller health spas. One of the finest spa experiences on offer in Britain – if not the world – is Stoke Park Spa by SPC, located in Buckinghamshire.

Set in the luxurious grandeur of Stoke Park hotel, a dramatic building of great architectural importance in ‘White House’ stone offering sweeping views of the surrounding acres of historic parkland, Stoke Park Spa is truly a treat for the mind as well as for the body. Stocked by SPC skin care, the spa offers a variety of modern spa treatments using the very latest in skincare products, aiming to brush away the cares and concerns of the modern world, putting the smile back on your face and the skip back in your step. The hotel itself also caters for other interests, with a 27-hole golf course and a range of other activities, enabling every guest to feel welcomed and entertained. This can be particularly useful for parents of young children who may find it more difficult to be separated; alternatively, single spa days are also available.

Located in 123 acres of rolling Surrey parkland, at midway point between Sunningdale, Ascot and Wentworth and only 45 minutes from the centre of London, Pennyhill Park Hotel and Spa is situated in a 17th century country house hotel which offers not only the finest in spa breaks UK wide but also has its own golf course, two high quality restaurants and a range of other activities. The hotel and spa appreciates the different needs and desires that each guest may have and offers a unique programme of different treatments to suit each one. In reflection of this emphasis on individuality and personal happiness, each room is decorated and furnished in its own unique style while maintaining the grandeur of the period in which much of the house was built.
