Our Best Spas near Newton Abbot

Love to walk? Newton Abbot is a hiker’s paradise. It sits right on the Templer Way, an 18-mile route that lets you trace the old granite trail all the way from Haytor to Teignmouth. But when your legs have earned a rest, take them to one of these serene spas near Newton Abbot. Their relaxing treatments and stand-out thermal suites melt muscle tension faster than a Mr Whippy in the Devon sun.

  • Bovey Castle Hotel & Spa: It may be a 30-minute drive north of Newton Abbot, but this award-winning destination is well worth the (incredibly scenic) road trip. Hidden deep inside Dartmoor National Park, the five-star Neo-Elizabethan manor house will make you feel like literal royalty thanks to Templespa rituals and one stunning Art Deco swimming pool that looks right out over the River Bovey. 
  • Lorrens Ladies Spa: Calling all pampered princesses! Located just a 20-minute drive south down the road in Torquay, this hidden gem is strictly for the girls. At this robed-and-relaxed day retreat set in a beautiful Victorian villa, you get exclusive use of the sauna, steam room and cedar hot tub – meaning you can unwind in complete privacy.
  • Lincombe Hall Hotel & Spa: Leave your cares (and the kids) behind at this adults-only coastal retreat, just 25 minutes from Newton Abbot. A quintessentially British seaside hotel, it boasts an incredible five-bubble rated spa that serves as a masterclass in modern luxury. Blissfully peaceful and beautifully designed, it’s a place where the only sounds you’ll hear are the therapeutic whirr of the hydrotherapy pool and the clink of a well-earned gin and tonic.
  • The Imperial Torquay Hotel & Spa: Want to spa where Agatha Christie once wined and dined? Perched majestically on a cliff edge just 25 minutes from Newton Abbot, this historic Victorian hotel has been hosting famous faces since 1866. The ultimate destination for anyone who likes old-school glitz and glamour, nothing beats spending the morning at its 15m pool before a luxurious lunch at The Palm Court Lounge and Bar.

What to Expect During Your Spa Day in Newton Abbot

Exactly what to expect depends on the Newton Abbot spa deal you’ve booked, of course! But if you’re checking in for the 1 Night Time to Relax Spa Break at nearby Bovey Castle Hotel & Spa, here’s a taste of the joys that await you…

Spend the morning in Newton Abbot – Wander through the town’s historic indoor market, snap a photo of the 800-year-old St Leonard’s Clock Tower or take a walk through Decoy Country Park.

Take a scenic road trip north – After a pub lunch beneath the oak beams of Newton Abbot institution The Jolly Farmer, jump in the car for a breathtaking 30-minute drive north into the rugged heart of Dartmoor National Park to reach your five-star estate.

4pm check-in – Voted Best Large Hotel in England by VisitEngland, you know you’re in for something truly special. Retreat to your luxury overnight accommodation and feel your stress melt away, before heading out to explore the 275-acre estate.

55-minutes of blissful pampering – Head down to the tranquil Elan Spa for your 55-minute treatment. Choose from a mouth-watering menu that includes a deeply restorative Drift Away full-body massage or a radiance-boosting Champagne and Truffles Deluxe facial. Well, only the best for you!

Unwind in the Art Deco pool – Slip into your complimentary robe and slippers to enjoy full use of the leisure facilities. Swim a few peaceful laps in the stunning indoor pool, or retreat to the warmth of the whirlpool, sauna and steam room.

Fine dining by the estate – Glam up for the evening and make use of your generous £50 per person dinner allocation at Smith’s Brasserie. 

A restful night & bountiful breakfast – After a blissful night’s sleep in your palatial room, your stay concludes with a freshly prepared full English breakfast before your 11am departure.

Exploring Newton Abbot on your Spa Day

Love a spot of history, culture, shopping or sightseeing on your spa day? So do we! Complement your treatments with a trip to some unique highlights, scattered in and around the town.

Walk where a king made history: St Leonard’s Clock Tower is Newton Abbot’s most iconic landmark. You can’t miss it – it’s right in the middle of the high street. It was right here in 1688 that William III, Prince of Orange, had his first royal proclamation read to the people of England.

Sip a pint inside a piece of industrial heritage: Spend an evening at The Maltings Taphouse & Bottle Shop, a craft beer oasis hidden inside the brick-walled rooms of Tuckers Maltings. Built at the dawn of the 20th century, it was one of the last traditional floor-malting houses in the UK before being transformed into a buzzing cultural hub.

Discover a real hidden valley: Sneak away to Bradley Manor, a breathtakingly beautiful 15th-century medieval manor house managed by the National Trust. Hidden completely out of sight in a woodland valley just a short stroll from the town centre, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back into the Middle Ages.

Taste the local harvest: No trip to Newton Abbot is complete without exploring the cheese, cider and fresh bakes that fill the stalls of the town’s indoor market. 

Shop at the delightfully quirky Trago Mills: Make a mandatory pilgrimage to Trago Mills, South Devon’s most wonderfully eccentric retail institution. Equal parts shopping paradise and theme park, where else can you ride on a mini steam train, dodge free-roaming peacocks and spot surreal garden statues like a replica of the Statue of Liberty?

Secure your perfect Newton Abbot spa escape with our easy online booking system. You can thank us once you’re soaking in a hot tub with a refreshing glass of fizz…

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I bring anything to my Newton Abbot spa day?

Most of Newton Abbot’s best spa venues will provide robes and towels as part of your experience. But there are still a few bits and bobs you’ll want to have in your tote bag:

  • Smart/casual outfit: Planning a glamorous afternoon tea at The Imperial Torquay or dining in the stately Bovey Castle? Most luxury venues require you to ditch the robe at dinner time, so pack something sophisticated to change into.
  • Swimsuit: Essential for the pool, as well as the heat and hydro experiences.
  • A backup swimsuit: If you’re checking into Lincombe Hall Hotel & Spa, you won't want to leave the award-winning hydrotherapy pool. Packing a second swimsuit means you can dry off for lunch or a treatment – and avoid wriggling back into a cold, damp one later.
  • Flip-flops or sliders: At many spas, slippers or flip-flops come as part of the package. If yours doesn’t, bringing your own footwear will save you from soggy feet.
  • Comfortable clothes: If you’re treating your muscles to a massage, luxury oils may linger on your skin. Bring something dark and loose-fitting for the journey home to keep your best clobber oil-free.
  • Book or headphones: Some of the best spas near Newton Abbot boast whisper-quiet relaxation spaces. Bring a page-turner or a mindfulness app to help you switch off completely.
  • Sturdy walking shoes: With Newton Abbot sitting so close to Dartmoor National Park, a morning hike is practically mandatory. Pack your trainers or walking boots so your feet are supported.

Find out more in our guides, What should I wear to a spa? and What to expect on your first ever spa visit. You can also contact us if you have any questions.

How long will my Newton Abbot spa experience last?

It all depends on the package you choose. But whether you want a quick pamper session or an overnight escape, our spas near Newton Abbot have an experience to match your schedule. You can choose from:

Morning or afternoon spa sessions: A half-day package gives you a few hours of decadent downtime, but still leaves plenty of time to hunt for treasures at Trago Mills.

Evening escapes: Ideal if you’re looking to unwind after a long hike up to Haytor. You can sweat away the day's exertions in a thermal suite or even treat your tootsies to a pedicure.

Full-day packages: The ultimate choice for a whole day of indulgence. They typically include treatments, all-day access to leisure facilities and a delicious lunch to linger over – like the home-cooked, healthy lunches on offer at Lorrens Ladies Spa.

Overnight spa breaks: For a total mind-and-body reset, opt for a luxurious night away. Book a five-bubble rated coastal retreat at Lincombe Hall Hotel & Spa, soak up the history at The Imperial Torquay, or check into the majestic Bovey Castle Hotel & Spa.

Just remember that each package has its own unique timings and inclusions, so it’s always worth checking the finer details when you book. 

What time should I arrive at my Newton Abbot spa experience?

Arrival times vary depending on the specific Devon spa package you’ve booked. For example, if you like the look of the deeply detoxifying Body Blitz package at Lorrens Ladies Spa, your arrival time will be tailored to your treatment schedule. For overnight escapes, you usually just check in at reception from 3pm or 4pm as normal. 

Your booking confirmation includes all the finer details, so give it a thorough read before you set off. If in doubt, always aim to turn up early so you’re not feeling frazzled when you walk through the door.
