Country house-style spa for Newmarket
A new luxury spa, influenced by its historic country house surroundings, is to open its doors in Newmarket, UK next month.
Situated adjacent to the Bedford Lodge Hotel, The Spa at Bedford Lodge is housed in a Victorian-era property which once formed part of the estate of the sixth Duke of Bedford.
Designed by Trevillion Interiors, the spa is themed around the fragrance of traditional English lavender and every aspect of the spa experience from the herbal tea before treatments, to the macaroon's served in the spa lounge emulates the inviting scent.
The design embraces the natural surroundings to create a stylish yet relaxed country house feel complemented with soft, muted neutral tones.
Large amounts of natural light are used throughout the facility with floor to ceiling windows occupying the building. Spa Manager Anna Ramsay said maximising the amount of natural light was a major focus during the development.
“Natural day light is important to rebalance the mind and body," she said. "A lot of spas are in the dark or the lower levels of hotels but its important that guests are exposed to natural elements to restore and rebalance the mind.”
The spa is open to both hotel guests as well as non-guests and has 10 treatment rooms. Facilities include a beauty room for manicures and pedicures and a therapy room for visiting cosmetic doctors offering non-invasive procedures.
There is also a spacious mezzanine hydrotherapy pool with shoulder massage fountains and views over the paddocks, outdoor rooftop hot tub, rasul for cleansing and detoxing mud treatments, experiential showers that stimulate the senses with a combination of music, lights and water.
A thermal area also features comprising a steamroom, sauna and hammam.
ESPA is used during treatments and the spa menu offer an extensive range of therapies for both women and men. Signature treatments include the Lavender Poultice Massage, which involves the use of exfoliation and warm herbal poultices. This gives heat to muscles and joints at the same time increasing circulation and is followed by a purifying massage, then a warm, compress infused with Lavender is applied.
Anna Ramsay said that the spa teams dedication to creating a unique, personalized experience will set it apart.
“As a team we are very consistent with service standard and we are making sure that we evolve and stay at the front of the industry. Every guests skin is different so personalising and tailoring treatments is a priority. Guests are also looking for treatments that are results driven and our menu reflects that.”
The spa will open its doors on 5 July.
