Gisborough Hall announces plans for new Sakura Spa

Gisborough Hall hotel in North Yorkshire has revealed planning permission has been granted for a new destination wellness retreat. Sakura Spa will open in spring 2026.

Located on the tip of the North York Moors, the multi-million pound Sakura Spa will invite guests to reconnect with the natural world through a deeply immersive, holistic wellbeing experience.

Set within a private woodland garden, the spa will feature six treatment rooms offering signature treatments that use results-driven, touch-led therapies.

There will be an extensive thermal garden with a vitality pool, steam room, saunas and a garden relaxation room. There will also be secluded outdoor relaxation spaces and a dining area, exclusive to spa guests.

“As a family, we remain deeply committed to the long-term future of Gisborough Hall,” says owner Lord Gisborough. “The creation of Sakura Spa is a significant investment that reflects our belief of the potential of this place.”

“For generations, the Chaloner family has been deeply rooted in this cherished corner of the country, committed not only to preserving its natural beauty but to nurturing the community,” he adds.

“The Sakura Spa represents more than just a new chapter for our hotel. It is a heartfelt investment in wellbeing, inspired by the surrounding woodland.”
