The Academy Spa

A spa day that runs at your own pace, where you can do as much or as little as you wish

If you’ve been unfortunate enough to go on a spa day in the past where the itinerary of rushed treatments have left you feeling so ‘relaxed’ that you need another spa day to recover, The Academy Spa in Harrogate will offer you a refreshing alternative.

The opulent surroundings have been designed to combine the very best that the West and the East have to offer – the spa is a combination of everything on the planet that is designed to relax and invigorate.

The staff at The Academy Spa appreciate that everyone wants to relax and be revitalised at their own pace, and this is why they offer all visitors a personalised package of treatments. The beauty of this system is that if you decide to just take some time to soak up the calming influences around the premises, such as the ambient lighting and comfortable areas to sit and unwind, nobody will be rushing over to you to whisk you into your next session.

Once your facial or massage has finished, The Academy Spa also has plenty of facilities to help you burn some energy. Their fitness area is extensively equipped, and the site also hosts one of the most prestigious tennis clubs in the United Kingdom.

Bringing the kids is also a great idea – the adjoining childcare facility gives them a great (and above all else, soundproofed) day out while you kick back and relax.

• TREAT YOURSELF:  to a slow-paced, lazy day off where you can be selfishly indulgent.

• PERFECT FOR:  Couples that want to enjoy some pampering, as well as those who don’t want to feel guilty about their kids being left at home.
