Spa-town breaks

Go with the flow at one of Britain's elegant spa towns, which have developed around natural springs of pure mineral water. These luxurious destinations have been around for hundreds of years and people continue to enjoy the natural spring waters to this day - make sure you're one of them.

Lie back and float away…

Where better to pamper yourself than one of Britain's elegant spa towns? Step back thousands of years and discover our natural spa waters… some of Britain's best-kept secrets.

Harrogate in North Yorkshire is the picture of English gentility with its redeveloped Turkish Baths. The original rare and colourful Arabic tiles remain intact, and the elaborate arched roofs and oak and mahogany changing rooms are reminiscent of Victorian luxury.

Imagine floating, perfectly relaxed, in a warm pool of natural salt water... no, not the Dead Sea, but the Droitwich Spa Brine Bath in Worcestershire. The natural Droitwich brine water is ten times stronger than seawater and is only rivalled by the Dead Sea. So lie back and experience the therapeutic and remedial benefits of this truly unique spa.

Finally, no spa break is complete without a visit to Bath; Britain's most famous spa town. The Romans recognised the unique qualities of Bath over 2000 years ago and today you can sample the natural mineral-rich hot waters in the fabulous new Thermae Bath Spa. The spa boasts the only natural hot-water rooftop pool in Britain, so let your troubles float away while you take in the views of this glorious World Heritage City.
