Some of the Best Spa Experiences Near Heathrow
Waxing, fake-tanning, manicures, pedicures… If your pre-holiday beauty routine involves spending hours in your bathroom, you’ve been doing ‘getting vacay ready’ all wrong. Our spas near Heathrow offer a far more luxurious way to slip into holiday mode, with blissful treatments that get you glowing before you even hit the gate. Here’s our favourite places to get beach-ready, without a single DIY face pack in sight…
- Saks Hair & Beauty Heston: Meet your pre-flight beauty routine’s secret weapon. Just 15 minutes from Heathrow, spa deals at this contemporary salon inside David Lloyd Heston offer expert facials and massages, along with a spa lunch – and you don’t even have to be a David Lloyd member to enjoy them.
- Hilton London Syon Park: Skip the cookie-cutter airport hotel experience and escape to somewhere far more indulgent. This four-star spa hotel near Heathrow is only 25 minutes from the airport. But because it sits within 200 acres of historic parkland (and was once the home of the Duke of Northumberland) it couldn’t feel further from the bustle – and the immaculate Kallima Spa’s not too shabby, either.
- Utopia Retreat at Great Fosters: Heathrow can be hectic, so the old-world grandeur of this Grade I-listed Surrey hotel is a welcome change of pace. Just 20 minutes from the airport, this former hunting lodge of Henry VIII now pampers guests with luxurious Templespa treatments that make you feel like royalty. And if you’re visiting in summer, cocktails by the outdoor pool and hot tub will melt your pre-flight nerves faster than a warm G&T at 30,000 feet.
- Bannantyne Weybridge: Want a quick wellness boost before take-off? Just 25 minutes from Heathrow, this sleek Surrey spa is ideal for travellers who want to squeeze in a soothing treatment, a relaxing swim and even a quick workout before heading to the airport.
- Macdonald Berystede Hotel & Spa: Just 25 minutes from the airport, this Berkshire bolthole makes a brilliant option if you want to stay overnight at a spa hotel near Heathrow. This Victorian mansion has a fairytale feel, and one-night spa stays include dinner, breakfast and plenty of time to unwind in its seriously soothing spa – the outdoor hydrotherapy pool is a must.
