Holidays in Scotland can mean a myriad of different things; walking in the Highlands, dining at Michelin star inns, historic tours of ancient cities, country pursuits, or relaxing in some of the country’s most elegant spas. From country house hotels with the most exceptional pools and hydrotherapy offerings, to a cutting-edge city oasis offering the most efficacious of treatments, these are some of the best spa hotels in Scotland.

Visit a hotel in a castle in Ayrshire, where guests are greeted by rolling countryside, fairytale architecture and a dedicated loch side spa complete with an infinity swimming pool. Or perhaps you would prefer a Swedish wood fired hot tub and a Finnish sauna cabin as well as holistic treatments using regional organic skincare products, including those that contain powerfully therapeutic Hebridean seaweed.

Wellbeing also includes plenty of fitness, from country strolls to facilities including all-weather tennis courts, state-of-the-art gyms and elegant indoor lap pools. Whether it’s country retreats or city escapism you’re looking for, these are some of the best spa hotels in Scotland to visit.
