Our Best Spas Around Bexhill

Bexhill may look tranquil, but scratch the surface and you’ll uncover plenty of eccentricities. Did you know that Bob Marley is rumoured to have played his first UK gig at the De La Warr Pavilion? Or that the Royal Family holidayed in the elegant beachside enclave of Cooden? No, us neither. But one thing we do know is exactly where you’ll find the best spas in and around Bexhill…

• The Relais Cooden Beach: Like your spas with all the energy of a Palm Springs beach club? Same. At Relais Cooden Beach you’ll come for cocktails around the centrepiece circular glass fireplace. But you’ll stay for the Nordic-inspired outdoor thermal spa experience situated right at the water’s edge, where you can cycle between a hot sauna cold plunge and a hot tub with panoramic ocean views. Oh, and did we mention there’s an indoor thermal suite and indulgent Templespa rituals too?
• Bannatyne Health Club & Spa Hastings: Bexhill may be packed with history, but this contemporary day spa just down the road is pure, modern luxury. Flit between the sleek, heated indoor pool, steam room and the bubbling warmth of the outdoor jacuzzi. After a results-driven Elemis facial or wrap, you can hide away in the zen-like relaxation room, before wrapping up your afternoon with a well-deserved glass of fizz in the Café Bar.
• The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne: The locals call this historic five star-hotel ‘the White Palace’ – and so will you after you’re treated like royalty at its health club and spa. Head downstairs and the opulent architectural features give way to a high-end wellness sanctuary with magnificent indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a steamy whirlpool and organic, seaweed-infused rituals using luxury products from ishga and Oskia.
• The Alfriston: A drive inland from Bexhill brings you to this beautifully restored 14th-century manor house nestled in a chocolate-box South Downs village. The Alfriston’s boutique Signet Spa is designed entirely around a slower pace of life, thanks to a dreamy outdoor pool, wood-fired hot tub and sauna. You can even treat yourself to a bespoke body ritual before walking off your bliss with a ramble along the banks of the neighbouring Cuckmere River.

What to Expect During Your Spa Day Near Bexhill

Exactly what to expect depends on the Bexhill spa deal you’ve booked, of course! But if you’re checking in for the Morning Dip at The Relais Cooden Beach, here’s a taste of what awaits

• 10am arrival & check-in – Change into your swimwear, snuggle in your plush robe and start your spa morning with a delicious herbal tea in the zen-like reception at the spa in the Relais Cooden Beach.
• Enjoy two hours of spa serenity – Dive straight into your two-hour spa session, wallowing in the indoor vitality pool, lounging on heated loungers and basking in the steam room and sauna. It’s the perfect amount of time to let the water wash away your worries.
• Savour a rebalancing coastal ritual – Drift further into zen with a luxurious 50-minute treatment of your choice. Whether you opt for a signature Drift Away massage or a skin-loving Pelegrims facial, you're in for a serious pampering session. You can even try your hand (or should that be feet?) at a spot of reflexology. 
• Scoff a beachside lunch – There’s nothing like a morning of wellness to work up an appetite. And luckily, your morning package includes a generous £30 food and drink allowance. Head over to The Rally Bar & Restaurant to fuel up on tasty dishes served with gorgeous views of the sea.
• Spend the afternoon in Bexhill – Once well-fed and watered it’s time for a bracing coastal walk into the town centre. Spend your afternoon spotting quirky local history at the Bexhill Museum, hunting for antique treasures or catching an exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion.

More to Do in Bexhill Post Spa

A Bexhill spa day is ideal for those who love to explore, so here are some quirky things to do after your massage oil has dried. Just don’t smudge your manicure!

• Dive into the De La Warr - You can't miss a visit to this 1935 modernist marvel sitting right on the beachfront. Pop into the Pavilion to explore cutting-edge art exhibitions, catch a live performance, or sip a coffee on the balcony and drink in the panoramic views of the English Channel.
• Explore Bexhill Beach & Promenade - Take a leisurely stroll along the flat, two-mile promenade stretching past the town's elegant Edwardian seafront. Less crowded than its neighbouring resorts, Bexhill Beach features listed Victorian shelters, retro beach huts and a wide expanse of sand that reveals itself at low tide.
• Go back in time at Bexhill Museum – Uncover a delightfully quirky mix of local heritage just off the seafront. A visit to the Bexhill Museum lets you explore the town’s proud history as the birthplace of British motor racing, admire a gallery of vintage fashions and view a family model railway hosted by the town’s famous former resident – the comedian and actor Eddie/Suzy Izzard.
• Row a boat in Egerton Park – This green oasis is perfect for a lazy post-treatment afternoon. You can wander the beautifully landscaped paths, rent a boat on the traditional boating lake or watch the resident swans from the lakeside cafe.
• Shop Bexhill's vintage boutiques – The town is an absolute mecca for bargain-hunters and lovers of the pre-loved. Take a stroll through the town centre to browse independent boutiques and charity shops packed with retro collectibles, vintage fashion and antiques.
