Signet Spa, The Retreat at Elcot Park, UK

Wellness and fitness go hand in hand in The Retreat at Elcot Park’s new Signet Spa. There are facilities to suit guests seeking an active visit as well as those wishing for rest and relaxation.

In addition to an infinity heated outdoor swimming pool with views of the north Wessex downs, there is an indoor vitality pool with bubbling loungers, water massage cannons and a reflexology volcano.

Heat experiences come in the form of a Himalayan sauna and an aroma essence steam room, a salt flotation chamber, drench showers, in addition to a relaxation area and three treatment rooms. The offer is completed by a gym, fitness studio, tennis courts and a hair and nail salon.

A fun take on wellness Yoga and Pilates classes are held in the studio and, when weather permits, outside in the tranquil walled garden or under the age-old oak trees.

“The Signet Spa is a retreat within The Retreat,” says spa manager Kirsty Pienaar. “Since we opened in the newly re-imagined 18th-century country house hotel in May 2022, our focus has been wellness, but always with a side order of fun.

“We like our guests and members to kick back and relax – our focus is always on wellbeing – but we don’t like to take ourselves too seriously. Clients can always have a cocktail at the bar in 1772 or an afternoon tea in the Orangery to balance it all out!”
