The Best Spas In Aberdeenshire

If you have toured all the castles, visited the museums, played one too many rounds of golf, or simply over-indulged in the delicious food on offer, Aberdeenshire has a number of different spa options at which to be pampered. Here are the best spas in Aberdeenshire to take the weight off your feet – and relax.

1. Thainstone House

If you would like to pair an overnight break with your Aberdeenshire spa, then have a look at Thainstone House. Situated in Inverurie in an 18th-century building set in 44 acres of grounds, the location is certainly luxurious. Add to this a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, outdoor hot tub, range of treatments and therapies, and access to the gym and pool, and you will be ready to curl up in that bed at the end of the day, relaxed and comfortable.

2. Senses Healing & Beauty

Located in the heart of rural Royal Deeside, in the wee village of Ballogie, Senses Healing & Beauty offers a variety of treatments and healing therapies; from massage through to Reiki, as well as using the vegan Tropic range of products. Book well in advance as, unlike the others in this list, Senses is a small local practitioner. If you like or want to try, alternative therapies, or will be in the area and simply need a manicure or facial, Senses can deliver. It is also worth mentioning the lovely view from the window.

3. Hilton Grand Vacations at Craigendarroch Suites
