Saltmoore, North Yorkshire’s New Wellness Retreat

Saltmoore, the much-anticipated new wellness retreat, opened its doors on 14 November 2024, transforming the former Raithwaite Sandsend in North Yorkshire into a luxury escape amidst nature.

Positioned between the unspoilt coastline and the heather-clad North York Moors, Saltmoore offers two hotels, Saltmoore House and The Beach House.

Saltmoore bubble bath

Featuring a total of 72 rooms, a state-of-the-art spa with treatments by Wildsmith, and three dining venues overseen by Michelin-starred Chef Consultant Tommy Banks, the site has been completely transformed by the team behind Saltmoore.

At the heart of the estate Saltmoore House, a sophisticated 43-room hotel, showcases indulgent interiors inspired by the sea and moors.

Guests can unwind in spacious privacy, from cosy ‘Snug’ rooms to luxurious suites, many with balconies and roll-top baths.

The Beach House, a family-friendly 29-room property, provides relaxed, coastal-inspired accommodation with woodland views, outdoor tubs, and dog-friendly options.

The spa, ‘The Sanctuary at Saltmoore,’ is a truly holistic escape with an indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and six treatment rooms, featuring Wildsmith products and rejuvenating treatments inspired by the surrounding natural elements.

For those a little more adventurous, begin your morning at Saltmoore by taking a plunge in the ice bath, a real wake-up to sharpen the senses and improve your mood.

Guests can also enjoy a cryotherapy chamber, which is said to offer relief from chronic inflammation and elevate skin health.

The onsite Wellness Café serves smoothies, nourishing bone broth, and seasonal healthy dishes.

Saltmoore’s dining experience is led by Head Chef Adam Maddock, alongside Michelin-starred Consulting Executive Chef Tommy Banks.

Dining options include a laid-back Brasserie and a gourmet restaurant soon to open in Spring 2025.

We think it could be set to become one of the best restaurants on the East Coast.

Sat within 85 acres of woodland, the estate has a variety of wellness-focused outdoor activities, from cold water swimming to cycling and stargazing in the rural landscape.

Nature lovers will also enjoy spotting wildlife in their natural habitat, such as deer and badgers across the grounds.

Room rates start from £400 on the weekend and will be from £300 midweek at both Saltmoore House and The Beach House.
