Thorpe Park Spa

A grown up retreat that’s not what you expect

First of all – it’s not what you think. Thorpe Park Spa & Hotel is miles away from the theme park that bears the same name – both geographically and philosophically.

Situated just outside of Leeds, this is a place for grown-ups only – this is the place you go to lower your blood pressure, not raise it.

Thorpe Park Spa offers a range of treatments from the popular (and affordable) ESPA range, as well as grooming options such as waxing, eyebrow care, tanning and a full range of make-up packages.

Spa newbies can try out one of the ‘taster’ treatments offered by Thorpe Park Spa – each of these facials and massages lasts less than half an hour and at £40 or less, they’re well worth a try.

For veteran spa-goers, there is an impressive list of massages, including a few Thai-inspired YTSARA treatments. The spa’s YTSARA Samunprai Thai Herbal Heat Energiser is perfectly suited to men in need of a full body de-stress, or adventurous types who fancy trying something completely different.

Fitness enthusiasts can make the most of the facilities by working out at the spa’s state of the art gym, then treating themselves to a healing sports massage such as the ESPA Aromatherapy Massage – Intensive Muscle Warmer.

Thorpe Park Spa may not be what you expect, but it could be what you need. Just make sure you double check the sat-nav directions, or you could be in for a bit of a shock…

• TREAT YOURSELF:  to the ESPA Total Body Care treatment – a little bit of everything, including a body scrub, massage and facial.

• PERFECT FOR:  First timers who want a gentle and friendly introduction to the whole spa experience.
