Spa Breaks and Spas North West England

Take a spa break to wind down or book a spa weekend to indulge more, there's relaxation and pampering to suit everyone.

When was the last time you really looked after your body and mind, or took time out and refreshed your physical and spiritual side? Probably ages ago, right? So, instead of flopping in front of the TV or working into the weekend, get away from it all. You deserve it.

There’s many ways you can relax and rejuvenate: A long soak in a Jacuzzi works wonders, a detoxifying session in a steam room clears your pores and massage therapies reach those tired muscles.

So share these experiences with a partner, or book in a group of friends to celebrate a special occasion. For luxury spas, North West England is a popular region. Treat the girls to a day of pampering instead of a night on the tiles. Or if you’re going to a spa in Manchester, do both.

And it’s never just about the girls. Guys need to unwind, too. Try a deep tissue massage or dip in a hydro pool before joining your partner for a shared treatment.

Many of the spa breaks in North West England have their own golf course - so it's easy to turn a spa break into a spa weekend and get a few rounds in too.

To really escape into the countryside, look to the Lake District and a spa on Lake Windermere, or book into a country house on the edge of the Peak District. Here you’ll find the calm and tranquillity you’re looking for.

And to complete the wind-down, try spa treatments, massages and beauty treatments all delivered by trained practitioners. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, calmed and back in-tune with your body - and promising yourself to return soon.
