Romance is a glass of champagne at the edge of an infinity pool with your loved one as the sun sets. It’s a seven-course tasting menu in a candle-lit dining room with white tablecloths and gleaming silverware after a soothing couples’ massage. Or a day simply spent pottering about the thermal suites and relaxing by the pool, à deux.
Whatever your idea of the best spa breaks for couples is, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to romantic hotels in the UK, with sprawling country house hotels complete with beautifully tended wellness gardens, elegant townhouses with ancient thermae waters tucked into the depths of the building, and lakeside lodges where one can watch the evening take over from the comfort of a private hot tub.
