The grounds of Whatley Manor Hotel and Spa set the scene for wellbeing, pampering and tranquillity, enveloping the world class spa in an environment teased into perfection. The Aquarias Spa is set within the hotel grounds, purposefully designed for contemporary wellbeing. Perhaps you will start in the gym, which is fully equipped with cardio, weights and an airy studio space. Then head to the indoor/outdoor hydrotherapy pool complete with airbed, airtub, neck massage jets and air bench; stretch out on heated stone recliners and ease those muscles with the myriad of therapeutic experiences in the thermal suite. For example, there’s a tepidarium, salt scrub and experience showers and thermal cabins including the caldarium, steam grotto, laconium and infrared sauna.
The spa fuses the warm elegance of traditional Cotswold style with the best of modern wellbeing experiences. This extends to the spa treatments, which combine effective technology alongside holistic therapies. For example, there is a Natura Bissé Bubble Suite, which is exclusive to the Aquarias Spa and created to house the Natura Bissé Bubble. It offers exceptional therapies from the pioneering Spanish luxury skincare company, which was voted the World’s Best Spa Brand 2018, and is a place where the air you breathe will be 99.99% pure, making it rejuvenating and purifying mind and body. In addition, the spa offers its own indulgent Aquarias Spa Rituals designed to revive energy levels, ease stress and restore balance.
Hotel & Accommodation
Surrounded by 12 acres of gardens, Whatley Manor is a country estate turned luxury hotel, where historic charm and contemporary hospitality combine. There is a 1920s theme that pervades through the whole property, from the interiors to the 6 distinct mini gardens within the grounds. Rooms and suites fuse elegance and sumptuous soft furnishings, bringing together the historic architectural features of the house with modern luxuries and designer details. The five star experience encompasses 23 rooms ranging from Classic Rooms to the Grand Suite, and all of which are offset by mesmerising countryside views and gold standard service typified by the little details such as home made biscuits and cordial in your room on arrival and the Molton Brown toiletries in the bathrooms.
Food at Whatley Manor is Michelin standard. The Dining Room serves a fine dining evening menu from Thursday to Sunday, while Greys Brasserie is the relaxed and ambient place for seasonal sharing boards, grazing dishes and an elegant a la carte menu at all times. Naturally, in an environment as beautiful as this, afternoon tea is a classic passtime that’s worth luxuriating in, and don’t forget to ask the advice of the master sommelier when pairing your wine with your meals.
