A Lake District resort is investing £500,000 to expand its spa.
English Lakes Hotels Resorts & Venues has revealed it will add a new lounge space, an outdoor balcony and extra treatment rooms to its spa at Low Wood Bay.
The centrepiece of the spa’s transformation will be the newly designed Spa Lounge.
Developed in close collaboration with DV8 Designs, Mason Gillibrand Architects and Cubby Construction, the project also includes expanded facilities with five new treatment rooms and a balcony with scenic fellside views and access to the spa’s outdoor thermal facilities.
Product development manager at English Lakes Hotels Annabel Berry said: “The team has created a design plan for a serene and stylish environment that draws inspiration from the natural beauty of Windermere and its surrounding fells.
“The reimagined spa lounge will offer a tranquil and beautifully designed space where guests can relax before or after their treatments.
“The spa lounge will open onto the Fell View balcony and outdoor thermal experiences, seamlessly connecting indoor comfort with panoramic Lakeland views.
“And our newly designed mask bar will invite guests to personalise their skincare experience by sampling a range of treatments tailored to different skin types.”
Low Wood Bay was voted the best spa in North West England at the 2025 Good Spa Guide regional awards, having previously been the first spa in the region to attain the highest ‘Five Bubble Luxury’ rating.
Earlier this year, upgraded spa facilities, including the Upper Deck with an 18 metre infinity relaxation pool, private seating, fire pits and loungers, were opened.
Group operations director at English Lakes Hotels Michael Kay added: “This significant investment underlines our continued commitment to amazing guest experiences.
“We’re aiming to enhance our reputation as one of the Lake District’s premier destinations for luxury relaxation and holistic wellbeing.”
The project is scheduled for completion by the end of January.
