Countryside retreat Fawsley Hall Hotel & Spa in Northamptonshire, UK, has opened the doors to its The Spa at Fawsley Hall.

The spa has undergone a significant refurbishment led by Curveline Design, following a £1.5m (€1.7m, US$2.1m) investment.

Fawsley Hall is part of Hand Picked Hotels, a family-owned collection of 19 luxury country house hotels where the emphasis is on personalised stays.

The renovation was focused on creating a calming, restorative atmosphere and enhanced facilities to offer a bespoke, individual spa experience for guests and members.

The overhaul has transformed the arrival experience which is now complete with light and bright open spaces and soft hues of sage green and pink.

Guests can access a new indoor swimming pool and poolside area complete with a steamroom and sauna, alongside a new outdoor hydrotherapy pool. Both indoor and outdoor poolside areas feature spacious relaxation spaces.

The spa has also expanded with a new Himalayan salt sauna, steamroom and six treatment rooms with Gharieni concept beds.

To mark the reopening, Fawsley Hall has introduced new treatments supplied by its spa partners Elemis and Comfort Zone.

The refreshed menu will span both ancient rituals such as reflexology and modern treatments including the Elemis Biotec Radiance Renew Facial.

The spa’s Matrix-equipped gym has also been expanded to provide new training areas along with the new ‘Spatisserie’ serving healthy lunches and afternoon tea, and a large relaxation area overlooking the courtyard and hydrotherapy pool for those wanting to relax and soak up the benefits of being surrounded by nature.

Julia Hands, chair and CEO of Hand Picked Hotels, says: “This sizable renovation has been carefully designed to create a boutique atmosphere and offer a truly personalised experience for guests and members.

“The whole space is filled with natural light, and provides a new, premium lifestyle spa experience where guests can completely switch off, disconnect and reconnect with loved ones.”

Additional facilities include a manicure and pedicure lounge, separate-sex changing rooms and deep relaxation areas.

The spa renovation is joined by a part refurbishment of six dedicated spa bedrooms and, in Q3, a new spa garden will open within the hotel’s 2,000 acres of lush grounds.
