Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa
The Lake District, United Kingdom
You’ve flopped - baby whale-style - into an infinity-edge vitality pool with neck jets massaging the tension away as you look out over Lake Derwentwater…
Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa wants to whisper “shh” in your ear as it strokes your hair. It’s set in 40 acres of lush grounds with a waterfall and lakeshore. The spa itself has a thermal suite with 12 different ‘heat’ experiences, 5 treatment rooms, and a Champagne bar.
Book the Deluxe Spa Suite for free access to the spa, or choose a cheaper room rate and pay extra to use it.

St Michael's Resort
Cornwall, United Kingdom
St Michael’s is your classic sit-at-the-front-apple-for-teach overachiever. We relate.
Let’s start with the setting - nestled in subtropical gardens, this guy is a couple of minutes from the South West Coastal footpath and opposite Gyllyngvase Beach AND it’s just a 15-minute stroll into Falmouth.
You’ll spend your day doing your best baby seal impression in the hydrotherapy pool or being rejuvenated in one of the 10 (!) treatment rooms. Evenings are for smashing through locally caught seafood overlooking Falmouth Bay.

The Lygon Arms
The Cotswolds, United Kingdom
To complete the holy trifecta of English staycations (Cornwall, Lake District…) we’re heading to The Cotswolds!! Broadway is the sort of village others aspire to be like. There’s honey-coloured stone wherever you look, cosy timber-framed boozers, and boutiques selling hand cream more expensive than your car.
The Lygon Arms sits in the middle of the high street. It’s a regal 16th-century hotel. The spa treatments here are particularly good, try the Lygon Warm Oil Massage for “deep muscular tension”... we feel seen. If the weather’s nice take a green juice out onto the Italian-style sun terrace.

The Athenaeum
London, United Kingdom
The Athenaeum hotel didn’t get the memo... London is supposed to be a concrete jungle, guys.
Step inside for the kind of designer foliage that’ll make you part with £7 for a latte. The spa has a similarly natural look... if mother nature was a Mayfair baller. Think, cedar-wood hot tub, steam room, sauna, and Moroccan rose hot stone massages.

Leonardo Royal Hotel
London, United Kingdom
Y’know what doesn’t sound relaxing? Being sandwiched in the City of London close to the bustling Tate Modern and Millenium Bridge. BUT Leonardo Royal London is ripping up the rulebook.
This sleek modern hotel in St Paul’s is all modernist glass and vast, airy courtyard bars. Head to the Rena Health Leisure Spa for Caudalie treatments or for laps in the 18-metre indoor pool. Brekkie is included in your stay.
