With a welcoming ease and warmth, this spa believes in the powerful effect of simply slowing down. A sauna, steam room and caldarium all offer somewhere to let the edges soften. And for those wanting a few gentle laps in water, outdoor and indoor pools await – as well as a large, bubbling hydropool for sitting in while staring seaward. Treatments are inspired by ayurveda and therapists here offer thoughtful approaches to both meditation and massage.

Outdoors, find the popular outdoor sensory spa garden amongst the fragrant flowers and herbs of the hotel’s gardens. This spa experiment draws upon the history of contrast therapies, where hot and cold are experienced in succession for a uniquely powerful effect. You’ll be guided into a wooden sauna, before pulling the cord on an ice bucket drench. The contrast is a huge shock to the system: it awakens you like nothing else, leaving you feel refreshed and anew.

Hotel & Accommodation

Bedruthan is a colourful four-star hotel perched on the cornish clifftops. Opened in 1959, the hotel has always been about easy living: days spent carefree on the sand, nights spent together with good food. Rooms are inspired by that simple scandi-modern style, with sea view rooms offering wide aspects over the big blue atlantic.

The hotel houses two restaurants: the wild café and the more intimate herring. The wild café serves sustainable, seasonal fare: bright summer salads, warm winter stews. The herring carefully prepares cornwall’s most precious produce, with the kitchen trying out more daring flavour combinations. If you’re looking for a tasty treat during your spa day, the herring now serves afternoon tea – including sweet patisserie, traditional sandwiches and scones with clotted cream.
