From luxurious spa hotels to relaxing retreats, Banff makes the perfect base for your wellness escape - as these indulgent spa venues prove…
- Heritage Retreat at Trump International Scotland: Just 39 miles from Banff as the golf ball flies, this piece of pampering heaven nestles in the grounds of the seriously glitzy Trump MacLeod House & Lodge. There’s no pool. But who needs one when you’re indulging in relaxing rituals, dining on fine food and gazing out at some of Scotland’s most dramatic landscapes?
- Devona Spa at Hilton Aberdeen TECA: Hotel luxury and time in an award-winning spa are always sure-fire winners when it comes to romantic escapes. A scenic drive from Banff to Aberdeen brings you to Devona Spa, where you can snuggle up in the stunning 20m pool and thermal suite before enjoying a delicious dinner at the Quarter House Bar and Grill.

It lets you work off the calories at the fabulous pool, studio classes and gym. But if all that sounds a bit too energetic, there’s nothing to stop you from just unwinding with a treatment and sauna-hopping around the luxury spa.

But alongside the turrets and sweeping staircases you’ll find plenty of modern comforts. With its sprawling pool, indulgent Jacuzzi, rock sauna and steam room, the Ardoe Health Club will have you feeling every inch the VIP.
