The Best Spas for Couples

It’s no secret that we love a Pig! And we definitely felt the love at the brand new Pig in the Cotswolds, with its own stand-alone spa and beautiful gardens with a romantic folly. Expect a warm welcome, delicious kitchen-garden-to-fork food and tubs big enough for two.

What could be more romantic that floating your way round cocooning candlelit pools then enjoying a soothing treatment below the buzzy streets of Covent Garden. Once you emerge, you can head round the corner to the rooftop bar at The Royal Opera House to enjoy a glass of fizz.

If a cliff top hot tub and sauna with stunning coastal views floats your boat, then the Scarlet will deliver. Perched about Mawgan Porth beach you can include romantic coastal walks in the mix, or maybe head to nearby Newquay for a spot of surfing.

Cool and central, the shiny new W Hotel Edinburg has a lovely private spa suite with a super-sized jacuzzi, sauna and experience showers, plus a large and luxurious double treatment room.

Check into the WOW Suite, which definitely lives up to its name with a circular bed, but make sure you manage to tear yourself away to enjoy a drink or two in the lovely rooftop bar with a 360 degree Edinburgh vista. We loved trying out the private spa suite - one of the largest we've visited in the UK.

Another Spavellous favourite, historic Boringdon Hall near Plymouth has authentic castle vibes, a Michelin-starred restaurant, Acleaf, and modern new spa suites. Some of the suites have the added bonus of their own private hot tub. Make sure you book ahead to enjoy a naturally indulgent Gaia treatment or two.

In the unlikely event that Rudding Park’s three floors of spa luxury don’t cut it for you and your special someone, take your stay to the next level and check out their exciting new dining experience at Fifty Two Rudding Park. A top-notch dining experience and kitchen theatre in one, it’s perfect for a romantic rendez-vous.

If you’re looking for a push-the-boat-out kind of spa escape, Chewton Glen's fabulous treehouses are up there (literally!) and come with their own balcony hot tub. They're in a great location too, just a short stroll to Highcliffe-on-Sea, so it's no surprise it consistently makes the Best Spas for Couples list.

Nothing says romance like classic combination of timeless elegance, a luxury spa with refreshments served to the comfort of your pool-side lounger and five fabulous restaurants. If you're really wanting to splash out, book one of the hotel's seriously luxurious suites. We particularly loved the Presidential Suite which comes complete with its own bar and baby grand piano.

If you’re looking for a little modern romance, check out the new Miami-style Nici Hotel in Bournemouth. With indoor and outdoor pools and bespoke couples' treatments, you can get your romantic relaxation fix come rain or shine before heading to one of the hotel’s lively restaurants or the Nici's in-house cinema.

One of our stand-out treatments of last year was at Bamford Wellness Spa in the Cotswolds. A naturally nurturing rural haven, these guys know how to deliver a top-notch massage! And they don’t hold back on the use of their lovely oils either, which adds to the sense of indulgence.

Another Spavellous favourite, and one of the very best Spas for Couples is Calcot and Spa near Tetbury. A great romantic all-rounder, it'll take you from steamy fire-side hot tub to melt-in-the-mouth cheese soufflé via its shiny new fitness centre. A great choice for a rural romantic getaway at any time of year.

New kid on the block Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire is another great choice for a romantic spa escape, with a lively, chic vibe and a gorgeous marble-clad roman style spa. Not the cheapest of our selection, but one of the best new spas for couples looking to celebrate in style.

Dormy House is a stylish Cotswold Classic offering laid back luxury and a recently upgraded spa. A great choice for couples looking for a boutique spa hotel with delicious dining, an unstuffy atmosphere and rural Cotswolds chic.

If you’re looking for a relaxing private spa escape with your special someone, the Gilpin’s Spa Suites offer a particularly special secluded retreat.

Set to a backdrop of calming Lake District scenery, these pampering paradises come with their own en suite spas! The hotel’s boutique Spa Space creates tailored couple’s spa journeys too, and unstuffy Michelin-starred SOURCE restaurant at The Gilpin has you covered on the wining and dining front.
