WILD WATER, ICE BATHS & BUBBLES with a view....

Settle in to a new season with a switch-off spa session. We check out what’s new at some of Yorkshire’s finest

Titanic Spa, Huddersfield

Packing serious eco-friendly credentials, this is a spa that allows you to do good while indulging in a little bit of ‘me time’. Housed in an Edwardian textile mill, the building has its own water source located 100m below the spa, energysaving gadgets and ongoing charity initiatives revolving around wildlife and the environment. Think traditional 20th century architecture of the Pennines meets a sleek spa of the modern world. Enjoy hot and cold experiences inside, before submerging yourself in the sunken hot tub in the open air of the T Spa patio.

Inside the spa, it’s all about the Heat and Ice Experience on a sensory journey through the ritual of bathing. A series of experiences will heat and cool the body as you move between the sauna cabin, ice room, plunge pool, herbal infusion room, aromatherapy room and crystal steam bath. Lounge next to the salt-regulated 15m swimming pool or choose to sink into the bean bag pit by a crackling fire in the Relaxation Lounge.

Book the Private Mud Chamber to bathe as the ancient Egyptians did during this skin-nourishing, detoxifying experience. The Titanic Top-to-Toe Indulgent Body Treatment will have you scrubbed and soothed in 85 minutes with a NEOM Organics body scrub and massage.

SUSTENANCE

Offering a seasonal menu that’s organic and locally sourced, the bistro serves up a nutritious offering in the day and into the evening. Those staying later can enjoy champagne and cocktails in Bar 1911.
