10 spas to book for Valentine’s Day

The International Day of Love has evolved in recent years to celebrate self-worth, friendship and family, alongside the traditional loved-up twosome (here, here). So, whether you’re one half of a couple looking for romance, a group of gals in need of some fun or a solo siren craving some peace and quiet, we’ve got a spa break idea for you. The best part? there’s still time to book.

The Sky’s the Limit at...
Hoar Cross Hall (Staffordshire) & Eden Hall Day Spa (Nottinghamshire)

Two spas; one message: Under The Same Sky. The intention? To shift the focus away from grand statements more towards time together, be it romantic, platonic or familial. With two 5 Bubble Luxury spas to choose from – for a day experience (Eden) or the full overnight shebang (Hoar Cross) – this duo won’t disappoint.

Love is in the Air at...
The Spa at Manor House Hotel (Alsager) (Cheshire)

If swinging on a hanging day bed with a loved one is all you need to feel fuzzy inside, then allow The Spa at Manor House (Alsager) to play cupid. You’ll find two beside the outdoor vitality pool, several lining the swim-up bar and another by the indoor pool – that’s on top of double treatment rooms, cosy lounges and gorgeous grub.

It’s all About You at...
The Elms Hotel and Greenhouse Spa (West Midlands)

This year The Greenhouse Spa invites you to celebrate with a Just for You Package. Relax into a tailor-made 90-minute facial and massage, enjoy four hours of spa time – the indoor pool (with its hanging plants and nods to gardening) is a Spa Spy favourite - salivate over a pretty afternoon tea and leave clutching a Temple Spa gift card.

Escape with ESPA at...
The Day Spa at Whittlebury Park (Northamptonshire

The Spa at Whittlebury Park’s ESPA Escape and Relax package offers a good value stay with no romantic stone left unturned. As well as an 80-minute ESPA treatment (and gift), the package includes a two-course lunch, spa time, a three-course dinner, an overnight stay in a Club room and – thanks to a late check out - a leisurely breakfast.

No Expense Spared at...
Chaun Body + Soul at The Langham (London)

Nothing beats lolling about in a sexy London hotel - Chaun Body + Soul’s Touch of Luxury Couples package gives you just that. A relaxing foot massage leads into a muscle-melting back, neck and shoulder massage on side-by-side beds followed by a 30-minute Connect with Nature facial. A glass of Champagne and Caviar bring the sense of occasion.

Wuthering Heights feels at...
The Verbena Spa at The Feversham Hotel (North Yorkshire)

North Yorkshire’s chocolate box town of Helmsley provides the whimsical, The Feverhsam Hotel and Verbena Spa the romance. As well as a double treatment room for side-by-side soothing, the spa has a Mediterranean, fairy-lit terrace for killer sunsets, a his-and-hers step-up alfresco hot tub; an outdoor pool with butler service; and cosy thermal rooms.

Fall for it All at...
Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa (The Lake District)

We love a cracking view at Good Spa Guide… the watery vistas at Lodore Falls will make your jaw drop time and time again (this is The Lake District, after all). So far, so romantic. Add a Champagne bar, a private Rasul for two and a strict ban on little ones (sorry kiddies), and you’ll be smitten kittens.

Double the Bubble at...
The Spa at Lucknam Park (Wiltshire)

The Spa at Lucknam Park’s Time for Two offer does things properly with a glass of Joseph Perrier Champagne, a 60-minute Melting Candle Couples Massage, full use of the extensive facilities and 10% off food at the Walled Garden Restaurant. Staying over? Put the passion in the plan with a four-poster.

Romance is a Go at...
The Rabbit Hotel & Retreat (Ireland)

If a private rose petal-strewn tub for two - complete with a bottle of bubbly and chocolate truffles - doesn’t scream romance, then we don’t know what does. Add spa lunch in the Palm House and the Romance at The Rabbit package is all you need to get the sparks flying.
