Set within Pennyhill Park in Bagshot, Surrey, The Spa is a substantial wellness destination in its own right. Its 45,000 sq ft setting brings together indoor and outdoor pools, thermal experiences, treatments, fitness facilities and dedicated spa dining, with enough variety for a full day or overnight break.
Warmer days lend themselves to the outdoor pool and private cabanas, while saunas, steam rooms and hydrotherapy make colder visits equally appealing. Pennyhill Park Spa offers facilities for guests aged 16 and over, with younger hotel guests permitted to use the outdoor pool at designated times during the warmer months.
A Spa Built for a Full Day
More than 20 spa experiences cover swimming, thermal therapies, cold-water facilities and quieter spaces for rest.
The Quiet Room has basket beds, while heated ceramic beds in the Tepidarium provide gentler warmth than the saunas and steam rooms. The Laconiums offer another mild-heat option, alongside hot and cold foot spas and a dedicated Mud Room.
For greater privacy, four outdoor spa cabanas have loungers, extended decks and large copper baths with spa jets. Each includes soft drinks, infused waters and tea and coffee facilities, with food and drinks available to order.
Pools, Heat and Cold
Water plays a central role in the experience. The 25-metre indoor Ballroom Pool has fibre-optic lighting and underwater speakers, while the 18-metre Open Air Pool remains available year-round and doubles as a cold-water experience in winter.
The heated outdoor Hydrotherapy Pool is reached through a swim-through entrance and fitted with massaging jets. An indoor hot tub beside the Ballroom Pool is joined by three heated Canadian hot tubs outside.
Thermal facilities include herbal and dry saunas, steam rooms, the Tepidarium and Laconiums. Cooling options range from the Ice Igloo and Plunge Pool to the Drench Bucket and Experience Showers, with Cold Mist, Tropical Rain and Tropical Storm settings.
The breadth of facilities allows guests to move easily between heat, cold and hydrotherapy, with dedicated contrast therapy experiences making further use of these spaces.
Treatments with a Personal Focus
Treatments span massage, facials, body therapies, prenatal treatments, cancer-care treatments and specialist wellness services, with [comfort zone] and 111SKIN among the principal skincare brands.
The Spa Massage is tailored during an initial consultation, using rose, geranium and peppermint oils with pressure adjusted around areas of muscular tension. Deep Release Massage takes a more focused approach to tired muscles, nerve endings and pulse points along the spine.
For gentler relaxation, the Tranquillity Pro-Sleep Treatment combines light rhythmic massage with [comfort zone] Tranquillity Oil, soft brushes and music. Cedarwood and sweet orange essential oils complement a treatment inspired by Indonesian Sea Malay Massage and centred on rest and sleep.
The two-hour Aromasoul Body Ritual combines exfoliation, a moisturising wrap and full-body massage using a chosen [comfort zone] aromatherapy oil. Best of Both pairs a back massage with a facial using the [comfort zone] Remedy range.
Other body treatments include the Hydrating Body Wrap with scalp massage and the self-led Mud Experience For Two in a private steam room. The Body Strategist Mud Experience incorporates body mud, peeling products, cream, oil and traditional Chinese gua sha tools.
111SKIN facials add a results-led skincare element. The Harley Street Facial focuses on nourishment and hydration, while the Rose Gold Radiance Facial incorporates facial massage, a Wrinkle Minimising Wand and rose quartz crystals. The Black Diamond Ultra-Anti-Aging Facial uses the brand’s Intensive Collection, Fine Diamond Particles and deep facial muscle massage techniques.
The breadth of the menu allows treatment selections around priorities such as muscular release, sleep, skin health and body care, with specialist options available where needed.
Fitness with Greater Purpose
Fitness is a significant part of the Pennyhill Park wellness offering. The 3,000 sq ft gym has cardio equipment, free weights and resistance machines alongside hybrid-training equipment including Skillmills, a wall-ball target and SkiErg.
The fitness team runs 73 classes each week across studio workouts, functional training, tennis and swimming. Hotel residents and spa-day guests can use the gym and join classes, while personal training provides a more structured option.
Pennyhill Park also works with 292 Performance on specialist performance profiling. Using VALD technology, sessions assess strength, power and asymmetry across more than 20 movements to identify imbalances and areas for improvement.
The one-hour assessment leads to a personalised development plan that can be followed independently or with personal training. It can support goals ranging from sporting performance to returning to training after injury, giving the fitness offering considerably more depth than a conventional hotel gym.
Spa Days with a Clear Focus
Spa Days combine access to the facilities with treatments, dining or more specialised wellness experiences.
The Tranquility Spa Day includes full spa access, a 60-minute Spa Massage and credit towards food and drink at Themis or the Pool View Bar. Radiance Spa Day centres on a Skin Regimen Facial, while Radiance Spa Day Plus adds a Wellsystem dry water massage.
The Contrast Therapy Spa Day takes a different approach, combining a self-guided journey through the heat and cold facilities with a dedicated wellbeing treatment and lunch. Other options pair spa time with Afternoon Tea or private cabana use, allowing visits to focus on relaxation, skincare or greater privacy.
Staying Longer with a Spa Break
Spa Breaks combine the wellness facilities with an overnight stay, leaving more time for treatments, swimming and thermal experiences.
Spa Escape brings together accommodation, spa time, dining and treatment-led relaxation, while the Contrast Therapy Spa Escape develops the hot-and-cold approach across an overnight stay. The Pro Sleep Spa Retreat places greater emphasis on rest and recovery.
Other options include the Muddy Spa Break, incorporating the Mud Room, and the Surrey Spa Break with bed, breakfast and spa access. Cabana-focused packages add a more private outdoor element.
Staying overnight also opens up Pennyhill Park’s rooms, suites and wider restaurants, while relevant packages allow more time to enjoy the spa across the stay.
Lunch Without Leaving the Spa
Themis, at the entrance to the spa, keeps dining comfortably within the day. Robes and flip-flops are welcome, so there is no need to change for lunch.
The menu spans breakfast dishes, soups, salads, wraps, larger plates and desserts. During warmer weather, the Pool View Bar serves drinks, cocktails, light lunches and sweet options beside the outdoor pool, while an indoor pool bar operates during colder months.
Overnight guests can also explore Pennyhill Park’s wider dining collection, including Hillfield and Michelin-starred Latymer, although Themis remains the natural choice during a dedicated spa day.
A Surrey Retreat Worth Setting Time Aside For
The Spa at Pennyhill Park has enough depth to spend the day moving between swimming, thermal bathing, fitness, hydrotherapy and relaxation, with more specialised experiences available through contrast therapy, 292 Performance and targeted treatments.
Spa Days offer several ways to experience the facilities without staying overnight, while Spa Breaks allow more time to explore the wider wellness offering. For a luxury spa retreat in Surrey with genuine breadth across relaxation, fitness and treatment-led wellbeing, Pennyhill Park makes a compelling choice.
