We are delighted to announce the opening of a brand new SENSORY SPA GARDEN at Bedruthan, the award winning hotel nestled on the hilltop above the sand and surf of Mawgan Porth, Cornwall.
Spectacular sea views, a deep and luxurious spa pool and the cleansing benefits of a cedar sauna, eucalyptus steam room and lavender caldarium make Bedruthan one of the most restorative luxury spas in Cornwall.
The new Sensory Spa Garden is designed to invigorate all your senses in a one-hour experience, inspired by fire, earth, water, air and space. Guests will be invited to move through the seven stages designed to detoxify and renew your body. Each stage draws on the sights, sounds, aromas and textures of nature and the refreshing properties of the sea air, blowing off the Atlantic.
The one-hour Spa Garden Experience starts off with 'cool', with a dry salt scrub in the gently heated stone room to exfoliate and prepare the skin. Then the experience moves towards heat in the group rainforest shower to wash off the salt and prepare the body for heat.
Next, guests move to the sea-view cedar wood sauna. The heat of 80 degrees opens pores and slows the mind down, allowing guests to sink into a deep relaxation.
For those brave enough, the next option is a cold drench under the bucket shower or cold plunge in the small cedar wood tub. The bright fresh water will leave skin tingling and alive, with the body's core still warm. Moving between the heat and cold as you desire, then sink into the deep cedar wood hot tubs; enjoying the muscle-relaxing heat and the beautiful surroundings of the scented garden.
With a final wet-scrub using our oil, seaweed and salt scrub in the shower room guest's skin will be treated to a full cleanse and left feeling soft and nourished, and the experience is topped off with a hot, herbal drink as you sit around the fire pit, with your foot immersed in a warm copper footbath.
Spa Director Steph Crosby explains how they developed the idea of a spa “I wanted to develop an experience combining the traditional art of spa'ing and the concept of nature bathing. Thermotherapy, contrasting hot and cold temperatures is the therapeutic backbone to this experience, a more sharing communal feel was also important being inspired by the mother land of spas, Scandinavia, where it's part of a weekly community routine. We have purposely created a space that doesn't feel like an indoor spa with the roof taken off but a spa within a Cornish botanic garden.
There is therapeutic elements at every corner of the spa garden from the all year round scented flowers, to the laughter created when being brave with the cold water drench.
To describe the spa in a few words I would say; purifying, social, sense of adventure, daring to be different, enchanting, Magical and Vibrant.”
