Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding- April/May 2020 (Issue 20)

The latest news from around both counties NEWS AQUA SANA LONGLEAT FOREST UNVEILS NEW FOREST SPA Aqua Sana Longleat Forest in Wiltshire has unveiled its new Forest Spa that includes experiences drawing inspiration from different aspects of nature including the changing of the seasons and some of the most beautiful forests around the world. Following a £6million investment, the spa is spread across five zones: Nordic Forest, Hot Springs, Forest Immersion, Volcanic Forest and Treetop Nesting. It features steam rooms and saunas, rainforest showers, a heated outdoor pool, an ice cave, reflexology footbaths and a selection of relaxation rooms. It has also introduced the Forest Cavern and the Moonlight Steam Room. The Forest Cavern replicates the feeling of discovering a cave, inspired by local ones in the region, nestled deep in a tropical forest infused with pomegranate and myrrh, perfect for practising mindfulness and breathing techniques. The Moonlight Steam Room, accompanied by a Moonlight Shower, carries the forest theme through by replicating the sensation of a darkened tropical forest with a dusky glow from the light of the moon. The Vitalé Café Bar has also been transformed, bringing the outside in through an abundance of foliage and large windows showcasing views of the woodland setting. To celebrate the launch of the Forest Spa, Aqua Sana Longleat Forest has introduced a new and exclusive two-hour treatment designed by group spa manager Kay Pennington. The Nature’s Ultimate Remedy treatment uses all-natural, sustainable ingredients to deliver an earthy experience that lifts, contours and refreshes the entire body and includes a full body brush with a scalp massage, hot stone massage and face mask application. Aqua Sana Longleat Forest offers a range of spa days and packages from £59 per person, and spa breaks from £169 per person. Guests on a Center Parcs short break can also enjoy spa sessions from £45 per person for three hours.
