With its sleepy thatched villages, lushly wooded valleys and sublime beaches, a spa break in Devon relaxes you before anyone’s even so much as laid a hand on your chakras. This vast county, which is flanked by two epically beautiful coastlines, has a raft of soothing spa hotels guaranteed to relax even the most pent-up of visitors. It’s little wonder the Victorians used to flock to the Devonshire seaside to convalesce and breathe its restorative fresh air.
Recharging can be as little as simply sitting in the Devon sunshine on a lounger looking out at the view, to top-to-toe treatments that will set you back on the path to serenity. All of the hideaways below offer this and everything else inbetween. We’ve reviewed the best of Devon’s spa offerings, from snazzy state-of-the art hotels and seaside escapes, to grand country estates, historical wonders and high-tech hideaways. These are the best spa hotels in Devon.
