The hotel spent four months revamping the Dartmouth Spa, which now boasts an indoor pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and gym.
The spa will also now offer Rasul mud treatments – a detoxifying experience based on ancient Egyptian bathing rituals – using a dedicated Rasul Chamber, infused steams and specially-formulated muds.
Other facilities include three single treatment rooms, a dual treatment room for couples, manicure and pedicure areas and a relaxation room offering Elemis treatments.
Jamie Waugh, managing director at Dartmouth Golf & Country Club said: “We take great pride in offering all our customers the best possible facilities – whether they are spa lovers, golfing fanatics or hotel guests.
“The latest transformation of The Dartmouth Spa is part of our ongoing commitment to make Dartmouth Golf and Country Club one of the top places to enjoy an affordable spa experience in the south west.”
Health and Well Being
Dartmouth Golf & Country Club is the latest in a number of hotels and resorts across the UK that have made significant investments in new or updated spa facilities in recent months.
Scotland’s The Gleneagles Hotel opened its new £5m leisure complex, The Club, earlier this year as part of its development work ahead of the Ryder Cup 2014.
McDonald Hotels & Resorts also announced its intention to spend £1.4m in updating its spa facilities.
Last year, BigHospitality reported that Northern Ireland’s Galgorm Resort & Spa planned to invest in a new leisure wing, and Harbour Hotels added a luxury spa to its facilities as part of a multi-million pound refurbishment.
A report from Hilton in 2012 revealed that nearly 40 per cent of UK travelers view a spa as a ‘somewhat important’ factor when booking hotels, with demand even stronger from Chinese and Australian guests.
The report revealed that business travelers were also starting to look for hotels with spa facilities.
