The 6 Best Spa Hotels in the New Forest

Careys Manor

The New Forest National Park, which is one of Britain’s most attractive, has all the ingredients for a relaxing break: woodland and heathland, miles of walks, easy cycle trails, free-roaming wild ponies plus welcoming pubs and farm shops. And what better way to add another ingredient for relaxation than to stay at a New Forest spa hotel. We’ve picked out some of the best hotels with a spa whether you prefer country-house style, one with great food or one that’s good for families.

For a country house hotel

Chewton Glen

  • For classic country-house luxury, Chewton Glen ticks all the boxes: understated elegance, superb service, golf course, tennis courts, acres of gardens and parkland, and excellent food. Plus, there’s a world-class spa with hydrotherapy pool, crystal steam rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, and vast treatment menu.
  • If Thai-style treatments intrigue you, check out the spa at Careys Manor, an historic country house turned hotel. There’s a full hydrotherapy suite plus Thai masseuses that can winkle out every tight muscle you never knew you had! And guests staying at nearby Montagu Arms, another country-house hotel, also have access to this delightful spa.

For a family friendly spa hotel

New Park Manor

  • With a games room, creche, cinema, bicycles as well as a swimming pool, New Park Manor has plenty to keep children happy while the grown-ups relax in the spa. The latter has hydrotherapy pools and thermal rooms as well as plenty of treatments.

New Forest foodie hotels with a spa
