Spotlight on: Yorkshire Spa Retreat

Rural rest and relaxation

Setting the scene for an idyllic getaway, the surroundings at Yorkshire Spa Retreat are nothing short of blissful. In the heart of the North Yorkshire countryside, it's nestled within eight acres of parkland near Helmsley, within easy reach of attractions such as Castle Howard, Rievaulx Abbey, the Howardian Hills and multiple National Parks. So, whether you're here for a spa day or a spa break, you're surrounded by inspiring natural landscapes.

An award-winning retreat

Built in 2022, Yorkshire Spa Retreat is the ultimate in contemporary hospitality and wellness considerations. Those who wish to stay overnight are offered total tranquillity thanks to their secluded self-catering luxury lodges. Exclusive to Spabreaks.com is the brand new Hideaway Lodge, designed for two people and offering both high-spec style and connectivity with nature. Set within a private spa garden, enjoy loungers, outdoor seating, an outdoor kitchen, barbecue, a pergola and a copper bath with a rainfall shower on the decking area. There's even direct access to the spa facilities via a private gate.

Fine dining

While the lodge is designed so you can cook for yourself, bring your favourite snacks and snuggle in after a day of pampering, The Dome Restaurant is the retreat's welcoming foodie destination. Welcoming in the views of the grounds through vast windows, its connection with nature is unmistakable, not least thanks to the full sized olive tree growing in the centre. A relaxed space where you can enjoy meals throughout the day, whether you're in the mood for one of their pretty cocktails, light nibbles or a sumptuous Sunday lunch.

A five-star spa

The spa is very much the focal point of the aptly named Yorkshire Spa Retreat. A destination in its own right, it's purpose-built, ultra contemporary and designed to ground you in natural materials. Forged of wood, slate and stone, natural light floods in as you revel in facilities such as a hydro-pool, a natural outdoor swimming pool, herbal steam room, sauna, salt chamber, and a relaxation lounge. Completing the experience is a delicious selection of spa therapies from their signature Honey Butter, plant-based rituals to Tribe 517’s blissful holistic therapies.
