Indulgent Spa Hotels Across Buckinghamshire
You’ve landed in beautiful Buckinghamshire. Now let the indulgence begin! But which of our Buckinghamshire spa hotels wins the crown for the county’s ‘most indulgent’? Here are our top picks.
- Horwood House: Looking for a luxury spa in Buckinghamshire? Horwood House ticks every box. Named as one of SpaSeekers’ top ten spa hotels for Valentine’s Day, a £6.5 million refurbishment has elevated it into one of the UK’s most stylish retreats. Believe us. You’ll see where every penny was spent as you unwind in H Spa’s wafty-curtained private booths!
- Taplow House Hotel & Spa: Right on the Berkshire border, this elegant country house retreat is one of Buckinghamshire’s best-kept spa secrets. Set within six acres of tranquil gardens, this peaceful escape boasts an outdoor hydrotherapy pool with room for ten. And when you’re ready to return to the warmth, a glass-covered walkway leads you straight back to the spa, so you can stay cocooned in comfort from start to finish.
- Wave Spa at Crowne Plaza Gerrards Cross: Just moments from the leafy charm of Beaconsfield village, Wave Spa & Wellness has three floors dedicated to the art of self-care. Relax with a swim, sauna and steam before padding to the spa where a mud rasul and a menu of ESPA treatments will pamper you to perfection.
- Crowne Plaza Marlow: Take a break from exploring Marlow’s fabulous food and shopping scene with a spa day at the stunning Crowne Plaza Marlow. Set in a peaceful spot just a stroll from the town centre, it’s the perfect place to unwind – if you can bear to leave the pool and thermal suite, that is!
- Bannatyne Health Club & Spa Milton Keynes: Proof that a day trip to Milton Keynes isn’t just about retail therapy, at Bannatyne you can be pampered with a massage, then sweat it out on the treadmill! It may not be a spa hotel. But whether you're chasing endorphins or seeking to feel a little more zen, this is your one-stop spot to sweat, stretch and soothe.
Spa Days and Pampering Packages
Whether you’re craving a glow-up or a lie-down, we’ve rounded up the top spa experiences to help you plan your perfect escape.
- Mesotherapy: Seeking instant radiance? Run, don’t walk, to Horwood House. This refreshingly needle-free treatment is pain-free and packed with results. In fact, some spa insiders say it’s like Botox, but better. Try it as part of a pampering package that includes full use of the pool, sauna and steam room, all set within the elegant surroundings of this Grade II-listed Buckinghamshire retreat.
- Robed and relaxed afternoon tea package: Hate spas that make you get dressed up for afternoon tea? If you’d rather stay wrapped in your robe, Taplow House has you covered – literally. Their afternoon tea spa packages let you sip fizz and nibble scones in the elegant Grenfell Lounge. The menu changes with the seasons, but the dress code stays the same: robed, relaxed and totally comfy. Just watch out for crumbs in your lap!
- Mud rasul: Looking for something fun to do with your other half? Get gloriously grubby together with an indulgent half-day escape at Wave Spa at Crowne Plaza Gerrards Cross. Alongside use of the thermal suite and pool, you get a self-administered rasul ritual that’s messy, steamy and surprisingly romantic (or hilarious, depending on your technique).
- Spa day with Indian afternoon tea: How’s this for a delicious twist on the traditional? A spa package at Crowne Plaza Marlow lets you float around the pool and thermal suite, before an afternoon tea experience packed full of flavour. Featuring Indian savouries, delicate sweets and scones with an exotic twist, it’s a truly unique way to lift your pinkie.
- Gym and spa day: Unless you’ve got a will of iron, sticking to your exercise goals while you’re on a spa day can be a tough sell. But the fitness-fostering facilities at Bannatyne Health Club & Spa Milton Keynes make being active feel like a breeze. Spin class, anyone?
