### The Spa at Lucknam Park, Wiltshire

**What To Expect:** Located just outside Bath in picturesque Wiltshire, Lucknam Park is surrounded by 500 acres of listed parkland and is home to an equestrian centre with 35 horses. Set within the hotel’s walled gardens, the spa underwent an extensive renovation earlier this summer and has partnered with 111Skin and Bath-based Natural Spa Factory. The new spa menu includes a variety of treatments including the Celestial Black Diamond Non-Surgical Face Lift – an intensive facial using science-led formulas – and the Cryo Cellulite Treatment, a unique contouring treatment that utilises cryotherapy and 111SKIN products to gently alleviate stubborn cellulite. Guests can also relax in the Japanese Salt Room (perfect for detoxing), a 20m pool with a glass ceiling, and a studio for yoga, Pilates and guided meditation.

**What To Book:** We love the sound of the new 111SKIN Rose Gold Radiance Facial which involves a smoothing wand and special rose quartz crystals to target fine lines and leave skin feeling fresh and revitalised. For total relaxation, treat yourself to the Molecular Hydration Face, Body &amp; Scalp Treatment designed to deeply moisturise the body, face and scalp.

**Price:** Treatments start from £130; spa days start from £170pp.

### Alexander House Hotel, Sussex

**What To Expect:** We defy you not to feel pampered in the award-winning Alexander House Hotel, nestled in rolling countryside just an hour outside of London. With an extensive treatment list that goes beyond standard offerings, this is a spa to be taken seriously – guests can relax in the hydrotherapy pool, outdoor saunas, private hot tubs and steam rooms. Plus, the hotel has opted for a more decadent approach to spa dining – think bottomless afternoon tea and a three AA Rosette restaurant.

**What To Book:** Expect a range of massages and Oskia facials, plus full-body treatments tailored to individual needs. During a Utopia Bamboo Massage, you’ll be massaged with warmed bamboo sticks to break down tension and reduce stress – something a little different from a standard massage.

**Price:** Treatments start from £105; spa days (available for half and full days) start from £150pp.
