Drawing on a fusion of contemporary and classic styles, award-winning designer Amanda Rosa worked in collaboration with ESPA. The result is a cutting-edge spa experience in keeping with the hotel’s traditional image yet with a truly distinctive character and style.

Voted one of the world’s leading spas by Leading Hotels of the World.

The stunning spa at Gleneagles is set within a unique golfing country retreat with sumptuous five star accommodation. 

ESPA was involved in all phases of the project, from initial concept and design through to pre-opening, recruitment and training.  ESPA continues with an ongoing management contract with the spa.  

The impressive 1650 square metres spa was designed around the concept of ‘timeless elegance’.  Combining both classic and contemporary, the spa’s elegant design features crisp, strong lines, and a warm colour palette of bronze, taupe and claret.  Beautiful limestone flooring, dark walnut walls and black Venetian plaster columns contrast with paler neutral leather and subtle atmospheric lighting. 

No expense was spared in the creation of the spa’s truly distinctive style, from the specifically commissioned artwork and glittering chandelier, to the reception’s shimmering curtain of silver faceted beads.  This attention to detail was also focused on the heat experience within the spa.  Guests journey through crystal steam rooms with shimmering bronze mosaic tiles, glinting copper bowls filled with crushed stimulating ice and experience showers offering arctic mint mist and powerful cleansing jets. 

The spa’s bold centerpiece – the dark Vitality Pool, stunningly lit by fibre optics, creates an impression of seemingly bottomless waters while powerful jets massage away stresses and strains.  For relaxation, dark walnut wood panels with niches lined in bronze mosaic tiles and glimmering candles create a cocooning atmosphere - or the Courtyard Garden bathed in natural light from the glass roof provides an area of total beauty and tranquility.

The ritual of TIME offers the guests a totally personal journey created for their needs at that time.

In keeping with the resort’s golfing heritage, the Golfer’s Tonic provides a relaxing treatment after a hard day on the green.  Targeting swing tension held in the back and neck, and golf-weary legs and feet, this begins with a soothing foot soak and scrub. A deeply relaxing back massage follows, with hot stones to release tension and muscle stress.
