Best spa hotels in South East

Pigs have foraged in the New Forest since the Norman Conquest, but a different breed arrived in 2011, when Robin Hutson took on a Georgian hunting lodge and reinvented the English country house hotel.

The Gallivant, Camber

The name says it all: a place to skip along Camber Sands, enjoy backgammon in the bar, chill in the garden or relax with yoga – and with no children to disturb the peace.

Lime Wood, Lyndhurst

A New Forest bolt-hole, this country house hotel has an easy glamour, romantic and family-friendly rooms, heart-warming Italian food and top-notch spa.

New Park Manor, BROCKENHURST

Charles II might not recognise his old royal hunting lodge today but, as the father of at least 11 children and a great lover of his spaniels, the Merry Monarch would enjoy the dog-friendly, inclusive ethos.

The Pig at Bridge Place, Canterbury

A short hop from Canterbury, a Grade I listed Jacobean mansion and former music venue that once hosted rock legends such as The Kinks, was the sixth addition to Robin Hutson’s Pig collection

Park House, Hotel & Spa, Midhurst

More than 70 years after the O’Brien family first opened their Edwardian country house to the Cowdray Park set, third-generation owner Seamus O’Brien presides over a thriving spa hotel.

The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne

A ‘perfect position for walking on the Downs and the beach’, this majestic, white Victorian hotel is on the seafront and has views stretching along the coast.

Beaverbrook, Leatherhead

Nestled in the Surrey Hills, this opulent, art and memorabilia-filled hotel is in a late Victorian mansion, once the rural retreat of press baron Lord Beaverbrook.

Spa hotels in the South East embody all different kinds of experience. Visit a cosy bolt-hole in Beaulieu and combine your stay with fine dining and a luxury overnight break. Stay in one of the UK’s most celebrated country houses, complete with a purpose-built spa inspired by the surrounding herb garden. Or alternatively you might head to an ultra-contemporary city hotel and spa with sea views.

Surrey parkland to riverside settings, historic style to modern architecture, the most forward-leading non invasive cosmetic treatments to totally holistic therapies, these are some of the South East’s top spa hotels to visit.
