Fancy a golf and spa break?

You don't have to be a wellness guru to enjoy a spa break and you don't have to be a golf pro to combine your getaway with a round on some of the most beautiful courses in the UK. Golf and spa work in harmony with one another for lots of reasons, creating a beautiful setting for rest and relaxation, offering conviviality, fresh air or blissful solace and time to yourself.

For those sharing a spa getaway with a friend or loved one, the additional option of activities enjoyed together or separately only enhances the experience. It expands what it means to enjoy wellness, providing joy and inspiration for mind, body, soul, and sometimes adding a little healthy competition into the mix as well.

At Spabreaks.com we are experts in spa breaks, which means we understand the beauty of the whole experience. We are not golf specialists like our friends at YourGolfTravel.com, but we do have golf pros within our team and we do know that, for some, golf is just the detail to complete the perfect spa break.

For new golfers, casual golfers, or seasoned pros looking for a chilled out experience, our team is on hand to advise, support and recommend spa and golf experiences that everyone can enjoy.
