The Best Spa Breaks in Yorkshire

Been working hard recently (or perhaps not so hard) and feel you deserve a luxurious treat? Then welcome to this fabulous guide detailing the very best spa breaks across Yorkshire. You’re not alone in the desire to feel pampered. Britain’s love of all things spa dates back to the Romans, who developed the city of Bath into Britain’s first spa resort.

But fear not, since then the concept of the spa has changed considerably, and the beautiful selection of spas in Yorkshire are modern, tranquil and luxurious. To feel pampered, preened and thoroughly relaxed you need not travel far, as the number of spa hotels in Yorkshire might surprise you.
