If you’re looking for a relaxing spa escape that feels a world away from London, Aqua Sana Spa at Woburn Forest is definitely worth adding to your list.
Set within the Bedfordshire countryside, around an hour from London, the spa is surrounded by woodland, making it feel incredibly peaceful from the moment you arrive. One of the highlights is the beautiful outdoor pool and terrace, where you can swim or simply relax outside surrounded by nature – particularly lovely when the weather is good.
Inside, there are more than 20 different spa experiences to explore, so you can easily spend an entire day moving between saunas, steam rooms, relaxation spaces and thermal experiences. There’s no pressure to follow a set schedule either, which I loved. You can simply spend the day at your own pace, stopping for lunch or a treatment in between.
Treatments are available separately, with everything from massages and facials to body treatments, but there’s plenty included within the spa itself if you simply want to relax and switch off for the day.
What I really liked about Aqua Sana is that it feels like a proper escape without having to travel particularly far. It’s surrounded by nature, there’s so much space to explore and you can easily make a full day of it.
Spa days start from around £75 per person, making it a lovely option for a relaxing day out, birthday treat or an easy wellness escape from London.
