Luxury Yorkshire retreat unveils its state-of-the-art wellness and fitness destination.
Following a £12 million investment, Aldwark Manor Estate has announced the opening of its brand-new spa, Salus, a luxury wellness and fitness destination set within the grounds of the historic country estate, launching in November 2025.
Named after the Roman goddess of safety, wellbeing, and prosperity, the new spa is designed to be a sanctuary for relaxation, fitness and holistic wellbeing. Salus will offer both indoor and outdoor facilities, combining contemporary design with the estate’s signature sense of tranquillity.
Guests will be able to enjoy an array of spa experiences including a scenic sauna, steam room, and 15-metre heated swimming pool. Outdoors, in the beautiful new spa garden, visitors can immerse themselves in the hydrotherapy pool or indulge in the outdoor sauna, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Yorkshire countryside.
The new gym has been fitted with the latest Technogym equipment, offering a complete fitness experience with advanced cardio, strength and functional training options. A fully equipped, unique indoor/outdoor studio will also provide space for group classes ranging from instructor-led yoga and high-energy workouts, to on-demand online courses taught via a wellness kiosk. The outdoor workout area will also provide stations for circuit training and bootcamps.
Aldwark Manor Estate has also confirmed a partnership with global British skincare brand, ELEMIS, as its principal spa product range. Boasting over 30 years of research and development, the world-renowned brand is committed to unlocking the secrets of skin longevity and has won multiple awards. Their products will feature in the spa’s retail range and will be incorporated in treatments when they launch in 2026.
General Manager of Aldwark Manor Estate, Richard Smith, said: “The launch of Salus Spa marks an exciting new chapter for Aldwark Manor Estate. Our vision has always been to create a sanctuary where guests can relax, recharge and invest in their wellbeing. With world-class facilities and partnerships with exceptional brands like ELEMIS, we are proud to bring a spa experience of this calibre to Yorkshire.”
The £12 million investment in Salus Spa follows £18 million already invested in the hotel since it was bought by its new owners in 2019. This has included a redesign of the estate’s 18-hole golf course, bedroom renovations, and the launch of fine dining restaurant, Chartwell. Since opening in May 2024, Chartwell quickly went on to receive 3AA Rosettes and a Michelin-recommendation within just five months. The transformation of the spa reaffirms Aldwark Manor Estate’s commitment to offering a leading luxury destination for leisure, dining, golf, weddings and wellness.
Further information regarding membership packages and prices, as well as the official launch date, will be announced later this month.
