Our best spas in Knowsley
With its fabulous safari park and historic Knowsley Hall, you can’t beat Knowsley when it comes to a proper breath of fresh air. But sightseeing and lion-spotting isn’t the only way it’ll help you unwind. Our Knowsley spa hotels and day spas come so packed with life’s little luxuries, we’re already putting our cossies on. Care to join us?
- Chill Out Spa Knowsley: Squirrelled away in a beautifully converted Victorian stable block on the Knowsley Hall estate, this multi-award-winning spa feels like a high-end sanctuary. Where else can you sink into an outdoor hot tub while hearing the distant roar of a lion from the nearby safari park? Inside, the vibe is pure luxury, featuring a swish relaxation lounge and a range of top-to-toe treatments that make you feel like a guest of honour at the Hall.
- Best Western Premier Suites Knowsley: As the only all-suites hotel in the North West, luxury is pretty much the default option! Stretch out on a super king-size bed, then wander into your separate lounge to sprawl on the sofa and catch something on your second TV – because why not? And if you think your room’s posh, wait until you see the spa. Expect a sauna, foot spa, rainforest shower, Himalayan salt steam rooms and a mud rasul chamber, plus seven calming treatment rooms offering luxurious Thalgo rituals.
- Ruskin Boutique Spa: Just 20 minutes from Knowsley in nearby St Helens, this hidden gem is well worth the trip. This intimate, boutique escape has all the five-star feels thanks to its dreamy bathing rituals. But the real show-stopper here is the thermal journey – a cosy circuit of sauna, steam and hydrotherapy pool that has ‘spa goals’ written all over it.
Spa Packages in Knowsley
Why bother heading into Liverpool when Knowsley has world-class pampering of its own? These hand-picked packages let you sample some of the latest trends in spa-going for less, without the trek into the city…
- TEMPLESPA experience: TEMPLESPA has become a go-to for modern spa lovers thanks to its Mediterranean-inspired formulas, mood-boosting aromatherapy oils and holistic approach to wellbeing. Try it for yourself on the Luxury Spa Experience at Chill Out Spa Knowsley, where a Drift Away massage, Thalgo facial and express mani-pedi make for a seriously indulgent Knowsley spa escape.
- Mud rasul experience: If you like your spa days a little less serious and a lot more fun, a mud rasul is the trend to try. This ancient Arabian ritual has made a huge comeback, thanks to its mix of mineral-rich clays, gentle steam and the simple joy of getting delightfully messy. At Best Western Premier Suites Knowsley, you’ll enjoy a 30-minute rasul for two, plus afternoon tea or a light lunch, drinks and full thermal-suite access, for a wonderfully sociable way to unwind in Knowsley.
- Bathing ritual experience: Bath soaks are having a real moment, thanks to their blend of aromatherapy, mindfulness and skin-nourishing ingredients – and Ruskin Boutique Spa does them beautifully. The Bathing Soak Experience lets you choose from ESPA’s Bergamot & Jasmine, Positivity, Fitness or Energising blends, each designed to shift your mood just as much as your muscles.
Exploring Post-spa in Knowsley
Fancy a little sightseeing after your Knowsley spa day? This Merseyside gem is the perfect place for an adventure. Here’s how to add some local flavour to your pampering getaway…
- Walk on the wild side – Knowsley Safari is the area’s crown jewel. If you don’t want to take your own car through the baboon enclosure, hop on the Baboon Bus or explore the Foot Safari to see giraffes and tigers.
- Step into a masterpiece – Visit the Shakespeare North Playhouse in Prescot. This stunning, award-winning timber theatre is a nod to the area’s Elizabethan roots, and the perfect spot to catch a matinee or enjoy a drink in the chic surroundings.
- Discover stately grandeur – Take a stroll around the perimeter of Knowsley Hall. While the hall itself is a private home, the sheer scale of the 2,500-acre estate is breathtaking.
- Browse Prescot’s heritage – Prescot’s historic town centre has undergone a massive revival. Wander through its cobbled streets to find independent bistros, artisan bakeries, and the fascinating Museum of Watchmaking.
- Get back to nature – Head to Stadt Moers Park for a breath of fresh air. With over 200 acres of meadow and woodland, it’s a peaceful spot for a brisk walk to clear your head and reconnect with the outdoors.
