Designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, there has
been spa bathing in Bath’s natural thermal waters for thousands of years dating
back to the Celts and Romans.
Today, Bath is enjoying major developments in the sphere of
spas & wellness.
Building upon the success of Thermae Bath Spa, a day spa which
opened in 2006 after a major programme of restoration, work is well underway on
the construction next door of the Gainsborough Bath Spa Hotel, At the heart of
this new 5 star hotel is Spa Village Bath, which will make use of the naturally
warm, mineral-rich waters and offer a range of authentic health & beauty
treatments.
The City is taking full advantage of these developments and
is positioning itself as the UK’s leading spa & wellness destination. The
destination management organisation, Bath Tourism Plus, has launched a number
of new spa packages and introduced a section on its popular website, to promote spa and
wellbeing. The City is actively involved in the Great Spas of Europe, the
European Historic Thermal Towns Association and will host the Café of Europe
event in 2015. History has never felt so good!
