Nobody does eco-spa quite like Ockenden Manor Spa, a modern retreat built respectfully, and to the highest spec, inside a 19th Century walled garden in West Sussex. Step inside and find yourself surrounded by contemporary finishes of soft fabric sofas, floor-to-ceiling windows and a curved reception, blended with natural elements and textures of wood, stone and bamboo alongside relaxing woodland imagery. Recoup on the stylish curved ergonomic loungers, finished in dark wood and topped off with green velvet, and look out across the park with its leafy mature trees. Or take to the tremendous pool area, which flows from indoors to outdoors, cleverly fed by the manor's own natural spring. We recommend indulging in one of Ockenden's signature treatments, such as Isopod Floatation water therapy, using saltwater for complete weightlessness, ideal for reducing stress and boosting endorphins for that feel good factor.
