Gold List: Schloss Roxburghe opens in Scotland

Set in 300 acres of land in the Scottish Borders, Schloss Roxburghe this year announced the opening of the new 1,100sqm Schloss Spa. The wellness facilities were part of an extensive expansion at the Destination by Hyatt collection hotel, which also included an additional 58 rooms, a purpose built banqueting suite and several cottages in the grounds.

The new spa, designed by Kitzig Design Studios, includes a heated outdoor infinity pool complete with LED lighting and an underwater sound system. Indoor and outdoor relaxation areas have been created along with an additional plunge pool.

The spa’s thermal suite and pools were provided by Aquateq. A Finnish dry sauna sits half-sunken into the ground and is complete with a larch exterior finish and large landscape windows that offer stunning outdoor views. The facilities also include an aromatic sauna with the option for guests to select their own fragrance for a personalised experience. A modern fitness suite has been created with a range of Technogym equipment.

Spa partnerships

The spa’s holistic approach is said to support total wellbeing, mindfulness and rejuvenation and will serve hotel guests and a local membership.

Three treatment rooms each boast therapy beds supplied by Gharieni. James Allan, spa director at Schloss Roxburghe, says: “All of our treatments and rituals have been carefully chosen to provide the most exclusive and unforgettable experience and we are excited to have partnered with both Aromatherapy Associates and Kloris.”

The relaxation areas include suspended open fireplaces and large cabana day beds hung from the ceiling and panoramic windows overlooking the parkland. Spa management is provided by TAC | The Assistant Company and Fashionizer Spa supplied the team’s uniforms.
