Five of the best spas and spa hotels near York

If you’re looking for the finest spas and spa hotels York and the surrounding area have to offer, you have come to the right place. Here are five great venues that promise total rest, relaxation and spa pampering:

  • Bannatyne York: A renowned name in health clubs, Bannatyne venues are known for offering fantastic facilities, well-equipped gyms and indulgent spa treatments in convenient locations – Bannatyne York is no exception!
  • Aldwark Manor Estate: Located a few miles outside the city of York, this lovely spa hotel is set in 120 acres of tranquil parkland and overlooks the River Ure. It features some great facilities, including the restful spa and an 18-hole golf course.
  • Yorkshire Spa Retreat: As the name suggests, this luxury spa hotel in the North York Moors, around 25 miles from York, promises guests a real country retreat. Enjoy a range of premium spa treatments, excellent thermal facilities and superb on-site dining.
  • Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa: Also boasting a wonderful North York Moors setting, this luxury spa hotel is the perfect Yorkshire hideaway, just 30 miles from the city. Relax by the lovely courtyard pool (if the weather permits!) or keep cosy in the thermal suite.
  • The Bridge Hotel & Spa: Located to the west of York, this impressive spa hotel can be found just outside the charming town of Wetherby. The hotel offers excellent spa facilities and is a great base for exploring the area, including Leeds and the Yorkshire Dales.

Five treatments to enjoy at a York spa

So, what can you look forward to when you visit one of our spas in York? Our fab spa day and spa break packages generally come with access to the venue’s leisure facilities, while many also feature a choice of pampering spa treatments, such as:

  • Body scrub or polish: Enjoy some all-over pampering with these indulgent spa treatments that use a gentle exfoliant to smooth away dead skin cells and leave you feeling wonderful from top to toe.
  • Facial: A popular option at our York spas and spa hotels, a luxurious spa facial involves various stages that exfoliate and cleanse the skin before serums are applied to address your specific skin issues.
  • Spa massage: Whether it’s a light touch full-body massage, a robust deep-tissue massage or the relaxing back, neck and shoulders version, this is another firm favourite among spa-goers.
  • File & polish: A simple spa treatment that works to tidy up your fingernails or toenails, this is the shorter version of the traditional spa manicure or pedicure.
  • Body wrap: Available at selected spas in York, this indulgent full-body treatment involves applying nourishing oil or lotion to the skin and then wrapping the body for around 30 minutes.

Things to see in York, North Yorkshire

One of the country’s most popular tourist destinations, the city of York has plenty for visitors to enjoy, from shopping and culture to historic sites. Once you’ve been thoroughly pampered at one of our spas near York, here are just a few more ways to spend your time in the city.

York Walls: Enjoy the views from the Roman walls that provide an elevated circular route around York. England’s most complete city walls are free to access but may be inaccessible to those with limited mobility, with some sections closed in bad weather.

The Shambles: Explore the quaint shops on this historic cobbled street, which is home to buildings dating back to the 14th century. Our advice is to get there early before the shops open and the crowds arrive, so you can wander and snap pics in peace.                                              

Jorvik Viking Centre: Discover York’s connection to the Vikings at this famous, interactive museum, which features artefacts and recreated streets. Built on the site of the excavated Viking Age city of Jorvik, this is a popular attraction and hosts lots of school groups, so booking ahead is advised.

National Railway Museum: If you prefer trains to Vikings, this interesting museum is a must-visit, featuring a range of exhibits and immersive experiences celebrating Britain’s railways and pioneering railway engineers. Again, booking ahead is advised.

York Minster: Dating back to the 7th Century and featuring stunning examples of mediaeval stained glass, York Minster is among the world’s most magnificent cathedrals. It offers daily services and other events, as well as running tours of the interior.
