Where will you be cooling off? Spas with outdoor pools

We’ve been waiting for temperatures to hot up all summer and it seems like our prayers have finally been answered. With temperatures hitting 30 C the weekend, believe it or not, we will soon be looking for ways to cool off!

July is set to be a scorcher and what better way to enjoy the Great British heat wave than by lazing beside an outdoor pool or enjoying an alfresco spa experience? However, to avoid the crowds at your local lido, head to a spa to truly relax.

Visit Ragdale Hall, a picturesque spa set in the rolling Leicestershire countryside. Plant yourself by the outdoor pool - surrounded by beautifully tended gardens - good book in hand and be safe in the knowledge that you only have to lift a finger to take advantage of the extensive treatment menu or enjoy the Thermal Spa, which consists innovative heat and water experiences.

Grayshott Spa, located within an hour’s drive from London in Surrey, is a serious destination spa dedicated to healthy living with fitness programmes and life coaching offered in addition to their treatment menu. Their outdoor pool opens from April to September and is the perfect place to unwind and forget about work – at least for the duration of your stay.
