There is a sauna, herbal steam room, hydrotherapy pool, and luxury lodges for guests to stay overnight

A brand new luxury spa is opening in North Yorkshire next month.

The £4.5million retreat is on an 11-acre site in the Helmsley countryside and has luxury holiday lodges, a bar and a restaurant and a £1m nature inspired spa facility which spans 10,000 square feet. Guests can enjoy a Himalayan salt sauna, hydrotherapy pool, herbal steam room, and a herbal lounge.

What's more the "oasis of calm" also has a large relaxation dome for yoga, pilates and meditation. An outdoor natural swimming pond mimics a chilled mountain lake providing rejuvenating benefits.

Treatments on offer include full body massages, facials and beauty treatments as well as bespoke spa packages such as the Yorkshire Ritual Day - two luxury spa treatments, access to the facilities and a two-course meal.

Alongside the spa experience, there is an on site restaurant called The Dome which is open to both guests and non-guests.

The spa is close to a number of national parks with plenty of country walks and the likes of Castle Howard and Rievaulx Abbey are a short drive away.
