Spring at The Gainsborough Bath Spa

This spring, YTL Hotels’ five-star The Gainsborough Bath Spa invites guests to immerse themselves in a curated calendar of wellness and creativity. From the launch of a new treatment menu at the Spa Village Bath to invigorating yoga sessions, speaker event series and art workshops, The Gainsborough remains the definitive destination for an authentic and elevated experience in the centre of Bath. 

New Spa Menu 

The Gainsborough Bath Spa is proud to unveil a new, elevated treatment menu harmonising ancient thermal traditions with modern therapeutic innovation. Guests can experience the Thermal Mineral Wave, a unique full-body massage performed on warm water cushions that mimics the rhythmic flow of the springs, or indulge in the Copper and Quartz Firming Massage, which utilises pure copper tools and warm rose quartz to provide anti-inflammatory sculpting. For those seeking rejuvenation, the Blue Diamond Performance Facial offers a high-end anti-aging journey powered by Omorovicza’s premium line and advanced LED technology. Additionally, the Mineral Mud Back, Neck and Scalp Treatment is a new 50-minute detox featuring a warm mud application and deep pressure massage. For a grounding experience, the new Foot Massage combines a vigorous knee-high scrub with the soothing heat of hot stones to release deep-seated tension. 

The new spa menu also offers guests a selection of 25-minute add-ons, to enhance the Spa Village experience including a mini facial, foot massage, mineral scrub or head massage. Guests can also add LED technology to their treatments, with no additional treatment time.
