Ellenborough Park, set within 90 acres of idyllic Cotswolds countryside, is redefining luxury wellness with the introduction of the Japanese Head Spa, a first-of-its-kind offering among UK country estates. Just two and a half hours from London, the historic estate has long been celebrated for its timeless English charm and distinguished wellness offerings, now further enhanced with new treatments and immersive experiences.

At the heart of Ellenborough Park’s wellness portfolio lies the Spa Garden Retreat, a private sanctuary enclosed by historic cobblestone walls and lush flora. Guests can indulge in a glass-enclosed hot tub, traditional Scandinavian sauna, and an invigorating ice bath, designed to promote circulation and detoxification. Constructed with recycled materials and surrounded by native plant life, the retreat embodies the estate’s commitment to sustainable luxury.

The newly launched Japanese Head Spa elevates relaxation with a treatment that has gained popularity worldwide. Combining scalp massage, acupressure, and detox techniques, the therapy improves circulation, encourages hair growth, and promotes restorative sleep, making it a holistic experience that goes beyond beauty. This new addition complements Ellenborough Park’s six spa treatment rooms, thermal suites, heated outdoor pool, fitness centre, and meditation-focused Karma Room.

Wellness extends beyond the spa, as the estate encourages guests to immerse themselves in the Cotswolds landscape. Complimentary walking maps highlight scenic routes of varying distances, ideal for all ages. Guests can also enjoy countryside activities, explore chocolate-box villages such as Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water, and visit nearby attractions including Sudeley Castle and the Cotswold Farm Park. For equestrian enthusiasts, the iconic Cheltenham Racecourse is accessible via a private track, making Ellenborough Park a dream destination during racing season.

Ellenborough Park is easily reached in under 2.5 hours by car from London, or via train from Paddington to Cheltenham Spa, followed by a short taxi ride.
