Schloss Roxburghe announces new spa in Scottish Borders

Schloss Roxburghe, set in 300 acres of land in the Scottish Borders, has announced the launch of a new 1,100 sqm Schloss Spa.

Part of the exclusive Destination by Hyatt collection, the hotel’s extensive expansion, due to open mid-November 2022, will include an additional 58 rooms, a purpose-built banqueting suite and several cottages in the grounds.

Around an hour’s drive from Edinburgh and Newcastle, the historic estate, previously owned by the Duke of Roxburghe, underwent a full refurbishment in 2019 and this new phase marks a significant move in expanding the wellness offering for guests.

The spa at Schloss Roxburghe

The new spa, designed by Kitzig Design Studios, will include a heated outdoor infinity-edge pool complete with LED lighting and an underwater speaker sound system; indoor and outdoor relaxation areas; and an additional plunge pool. The thermal suite and pools were provided by Aquateq. The wellness offering also includes a modern fitness suite featuring equipment supplied by Technogym.

Spa partnerships

The spa’s Finnish dry sauna sits half-sunken into the ground, bringing it to ground level from the outside, and is complete with a larch exterior finish and large landscape windows to enjoy the views. The facilities also include an aromatic sauna with the option for guests to release their own aromatic fragrance for a personalised experience.

Three treatment rooms offer experiences by Aromatherapy Associates and Kloris. Each boasts a therapy bed supplied by Gharieni. Allan says: “All of our treatments and rituals have been carefully chosen to provide the most exclusive and unforgettable experience and we are excited to have partnered with both Aromatherapy Associates and Kloris.”

Space to relax

The relaxation area will include suspended open fireplaces and large cabana day beds suspended from the ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the parkland. Other suppliers include TAC – The Assistant Company and Fashionizer.

The spa’s holistic approach is said to support total wellbeing, mindfulness and rejuvenation and will serve hotel guests and a local membership.
