Whether you're child-free for the day or child-free in general, some getaways are just for grown-ups, with some of the best adult only resorts, hotels, and spas for you to explore.
The Spa Hotel at Ribby Hall Village in Lancashire is exactly what it sounds like - a whole village of experiences to enjoy, and at the heart of it is one of the most popular adult only hotels, the dedicated Spa Hotel. A beautiful, contemporary place, it centres around the Aqua Thermal Journey, which includes a range of hydrotherapy experiences, saunas and steam rooms. There's also a beautiful Zen Garden with its own salt sauna, hot tub and glorious views.
This beautiful four-star retreat in Cheshire includes a really special adult-only spa experience with a swim-up bar and enchanting 'secret' garden. There's an all-season outdoor spa complete with a pool house, vitality pool, hydrotherapy tub, pavilion, summer house, salt steam inhalation chamber, potting sauna shed, plunge bath and seating areas. There's also a beautiful pool for length swimming or relaxing.
King Street Townhouse is one of the most stylish destinations in Manchester, and their associated King Street Gym & Spa is a great place to pamper yourself for the day. The purpose-built space is ultra modern, and has everything you could ask for to feel amazing. There's a state-of-the-art gym, an outdoor infinity pool, thermal experiences and, in a world-first exclusive, they work with Perricone MD to offer a range of bespoke, specialist spa treatments and results-driven facials.
Arguably one of the most romantic places in the UK, Hoar Cross Hall in Staffordshire is exceptional. Whether you visit for a day or a couple of days, everything is award-winning and beautiful. There's lots of things to do, from walking around the grounds to playing tennis. The interiors are immaculate, the architecture historic, the gardens enchanting and the spa is first class. Relaxation takes you on a journey from their 26-metre saltwater vitality pool to saunas, steam rooms, a Snooze Room and a Slumber Lounge. Then prepare for dinner in one of their two highly prized restaurants.
The clue is in the name here really because Studley Castle Hotel in Warwickshire is, literally, a castle as well as an adult only hotel and spa. Like something from a fairytale, visiting here instantly feels like a special occasion. There's lots of things to do in the grounds and gardens, from country sports to yoga. The Stables Spa is a modern space that envelops you in wellness, and food is a real feast in either The Market Kitchen in the Evesham Restaurant or the elegant Brasserie32 with its heritage British recipes.
