Sure, everyone knows Bournemouth has an abundance of stunning clifftop and beachfront hotels with sea views, but who knew so many of them offered spa breaks too for a truly holistic seaside staycation?
Travelling to the coast for its clean air and health benefits has long been a tradition in the UK and, indeed, is how Bournemouth flourished in the 1800s. Today, the seaside destination offers a multitude of venues for much needed R&R, cementing the comprehensiveness of the town’s offer in the modern era.
Many of the big hotels have been running spa packages for a number of years but the recent addition of the five-star quality Eforea spa at the new Hilton has helped to render Bournemouth one of the country’s wellness top spots. It’s now possible to find almost every major treatment and brand in Bournemouth, as well as opportunities to team a day of indulgence with an evening meal, afternoon tea or glass of bubbly.
With one in five people taking a dedicated wellness break at least once a year*, it’s not only the breadth of choice available that’s impressive, our sprawling beaches and micro climate make Bournemouth the perfect setting for a wholesome retreat. With miles of golden sand and waves gently lapping on the shore, there’s no better backdrop for your 2018 spa staycation.
