Space and style are the best words to describe the magnificent three graces spa and elite luxury gym at grantley hall. A purpose-built environment where the design is sympathetic to the history of the hotel, but purposeful in its own right, it caters to modern wellbeing with old school charm. The 18-metre indoor swimming pool is surrounded by columns and neatly spaced loungers offering plenty of space. Take a dip in the indoor to outdoor hydrotherapy pool, enjoy the thermal experiences available in the sauna, steam room and snow room or work out in the gym before unwinding in a tranquil relaxation area. You should also feel free to dedicate the whole day to time in the spa as it even has its own restaurant. The three graces spa lounge is a magnificent space that offers a beautiful range of healthy, nutritious drinks and snacks throughout the day, where you can watch the world go by on the outdoor terrace.

Treatments in the spa continue the dedication to holistic modern wellbeing. Aimed at achieving a sense of luxury and equilibrium, they use award-winning british spa brand ila to deliver a collection of face and body treatments fusing bespoke techniques with ancient wisdom, attaining deeper levels of balance. These are accompanied by therapies from pioneering luxury spanish skincare brand natura bissé, which embodies sophisticated elegance, efficiency and feminine intuition using avant-garde technologies alongside effective skincare products.
