Winter has well and truly come to an end and what better way to warm up and celebrate than with a little well-priced luxury. While taking a flight to a far-flung beach might be out of the question at the moment, if you're able to safely explore the UK, a day at one of the UK’s best spa resorts might just be the answer instead. The following hotels guarantee a luxurious spa experience without ever skimping on quality.

Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa, UK

After 18-holes of golf head to the health club

Indulging in high-end spa treatments is made that much more enjoyable after a day out in nature – and you can do just that at Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa's. Their fantastic location right next to the River Tweed means guests can make the most of the great outdoors. Enjoy the close-by fishing, golfing, canoeing, shooting, quad biking and hiking before you go to the luxury spa for facials, make-overs and yoga classes.

The Southcrest Manor Hotel, UK

Enjoy the 10 acres of stunning private lawns and woodland after your treatment

It’s not often that a place manages to combine tranquil scenery and a short commute to the nearest town centre, yet the Southcrest Manor Hotel does just that. Surrounded by ten acres of woodland, this luxury hotel has a spa centre, Swedish and infrared saunas, a gym, beauty treatments, a hot tub and an award-winning restaurant. And, if your idea of luxury includes retail therapy, Redditch is only four minutes away.

New Bath Hotel & Spa, UK

Pamper yourself with Afternoon Tea and Prosecco

The New Bath Hotel & Spa is an 18th-century hotel that maintains a historical atmosphere without compromising on high-speed WiFi. With rain showers in every bathroom, steam rooms, hot tubs, saunas and a revamped ‘spring water pool’, the New Bath Hotel has really committed to providing guests a luxurious experience. After a long soak, opt for a Swedish massage, hot stone full body massage or facial, and finish off with Afternoon Tea and Prosecco in the lounge.

Hotel St. Mellion International, UK

Awe-inspiring beauty treatments and award-winning restaurants

Hotel St. Mellion International is a four-star Cornish hotel that has an awe-inspiring list of beauty treatments. Choose from a Body Nectar Nourishing Wrap in Sweet Orchid or Frangipani, or a Lime and Ginger Salt Glow. Next, head out for a round of golf followed by a visit to one of the hotel’s two award-winning restaurants.

The Cliff Hotel & Spa, UK

Choose from the never-ending list of spa services

It would probably be easier to talk about the spa services that The Cliff Hotel & Spa doesn’t provide, rather than the ones they do. They’ve got hot and cold stone massages, an ice fountain, a steam room, a hexagonal hydrotherapy pool and a stunning view of Cardigan Bay. Once you’ve worked your way through all this pampering, head out to play a round of golf or a wander along the nearby Poppit Sands.
