From romantic spa breaks to quality time with friends, private hot tubs add a little extra wow factor. Here’s a few of our favourites…
From 12 person hot tubs by outdoor fire pits, to private pools bubbling away in luxurious suites with a glass of Champagne in hand, hot tubs might be an expected feature at most spas, but private hot tub is a whole other level of enjoyment.
This magical hotel spa in Ireland has so much to recommend it. From its luxury style to the River House, which is raised on stilts by the River Maine and is where spa guests enjoy classes.
Amongst its beautiful elements is the 12 person hot tub, where quality time with friends is perhaps best enjoyed in the form of the Beltane Experience. It’s a spa experience where you relax around a sunken fire with friends before enjoying a dip. There are also various wood-fired hot tubs dotted around Galgorm’s Thermal Village which can be booked privately for 60 minutes at a time, most overlooking the river.
Alternatively, those on romantic spa breaks will adore staying in the Signature Suite, which has its very own private hot tub on the balcony. Or for those travelling with groups of friends, the Red Oaks lodge can be hired all to yourselves, and also has its own outdoor hot tub.
A gothic favourite just a short distance from London, Alexander House Hotel Utopia Spa was once the home of the poet Percy Shelley. With that beautiful background, it’s little wonder that it is a favourite for romantic spa breaks. Stay in one of their magical Cedar Lodge Suites, dine in award-winning restaurants, and luxuriate in the Grecian-style spa.
A luxurious, sustainable spa in the South Downs, South Lodge is a tranquil experience that combines decadence and a real sense of wellbeing. The wild swimming pool is a real favourite, while the grass and sedum roof and natural light set the scene. Meanwhile, those on the Luxury Elysium Spa Break have the spa experience to themselves. Stay in a wow-factor suite complete with a private terrace and one of its very own private hot tubs overlooking the hotel grounds.
At this grand clifftop hotel, famous as the filming location of Roald Dahl’s The Witches where Jack Nicholson wooed Anjelica Huston with romantic calls and flowers, time together just got even better. Sweeping coastal views greet you and coastal-inspired Thalgo therapies restore your natural balance alongside therapeutic hydrotherapy.
