Headspace is everything as you prepare to have a baby. Everyone has an opinion about how to do things. Everyone feels they have a role to play. And everything can be overwhelming. With so much about to change and a whole new life adventure to go on, taking time out to breathe, focus and clear your head is a fundamental part of self care. That’s what a babymoon is all about and a spa babymoon takes the personal wellness to a supercharged new level, complete with some of the best pregnancy massages and spa treatments. Here are the best babymoon spa breaks in the UK…

The Spa @ Suites Hotel, Merseyside
One of the best spa hotels in the North West, The Spa @ Suites Hotel is ultra contemporary and super stylish. For those preferring a slick city vibe in their spas, this is the place to go.

Hatherley Manor Hotel and Spa, Gloucestershire
A four star hotel, Hatherley Manor is a place where everything is lavish. This is where you go for afternoon teas and snuggling by the fire in the historic manor house, and lolling in unapologetic splendour on the heated loungers in the brand new spa. Every one of their spa breaks is beautifully thought about, and their New Beginnings Babymoon Couple Break is no exception. Head to a dual treatment room together where there’s a 60-minute Elemis Peaceful Pregnancy Massage for mum-to-be and a 55-minute Elemis Biotec Supercharger treatment for dad. Finish the day with a three course dinner, a mocktail each and overnight accommodation.
New Park Manor Hotel and Spa, Hampshire
Surrounded by ancient woodland, New Park Manor Hotel and Spa sits in the heart of the New Forest. The hotel is a 16th century manor house, where wild deer roam in the morning light. Meanwhile, the spa is a more contemporary addition, with big glass windows around the pool and a peaceful atmosphere. Their tailored overnight babymoon break incorporates all elements of the estate. Start in the spa with a pregnancy massage for mum, a full body massage for dad and use of facilities. Then head to the hotel for a three course dinner, bed and breakfast.
Chewton Glen, Hampshire
Perhaps one of the best spa hotels in the UK, Chewton Glen is surrounded by 130 acres of gardens and countryside.

Accommodation at the hotel is second to none, whether you choose to stay in the traditional rooms of the main hotel or the more contemporary treehouse suites.
Down Hall Hotel and Spa, Essex
Within easy reach of London, Down Hall Hotel and Spa is your quintessential country house hotel. Superbly grand, beautiful gardens, a sense of escapism, but 45 minutes in the car from the city. The main building dates back to 1322 but has been sympathetically updated. Play croquet in the garden (or if you’re like us just drink tea and enjoy the view). Then head to the Eden Spa for luxury spa treatments. There’s no pool here, this is a place that’s really just about putting your feet up and being spoiled rotten.
