Cliveden House Hotel & Spa

Berkshire, England

Cliveden House, owned by the National Trust and part of Iconic Luxury Hotels, is the sister property to the famed Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa in Hampshire. Located in Berkshire, it’s just 40 minutes from London and 25 minutes from Heathrow Airport.

Steeped in a rich and varied history, Cliveden House was built in 1666 by the Second Duke of Buckingham as a place for entertaining his friends and mistresses. When Cliveden was bought by the Waldorf-Astor family in the 1800s, its reputation as a party house continued. Everyone from Winston Churchill to Charlie Chaplin is said to have graced its doors. Most famously, it was at Cliveden in 1961 that John Profumo met Christine Keeler.

Now a luxurious five-star Relais & Châteaux hotel and spa, the Grade I listed stately home is set within 376 acres of grounds and boasts antique furniture and beautiful period features.

The spa at Cliveden provides an opportunity to rebalance and de-stress, offering a range of facilities and treatment experiences that will leave you feeling like royalty.

The Spa

Cliveden House Spa

Hidden behind the brick walls of the garden and enveloped by tumbling scented roses and lavender, the spa at Cliveden offers a genuine sense of wellbeing and relaxation.

Facilities range from a steam room and infrared sauna line beside the sublime indoor pool. In the garden there are outdoor hot tubs and the infamous ‘Profumo’ pool, the last remaining listed outdoor pool in England, made famous by the 1960s political scandal.

If you fancy getting a sweat on, there are indoor and outdoor tennis courts, pickleball courts, a gym and a fitness studio offering a timetable of classes that include Pilates, HIIT, yoga and Tai Chi.

The history of Cliveden also informs a selection of signature body treatments. Anna-Maria, for whom Cliveden was originally built, and Nancy Astor, one of its most famous residents, are strong women whose names are given to fragrances in the spa’s own product range and signature massages.

The spa offers exclusive treatments by nutritional skincare experts OSKIA, plus
hair and scalp treatments from Monpure London, the world’s first dedicated scalp and hair health brand. Finishing touches are available courtesy of The Studio, which provides a full range of mani-pedi services.

When it’s time for refreshment, head to The Spa Kitchen, situated in a quiet corner of the spa overlooking the ‘Profumo’ pool, for flavoursome and nutritional dishes, and freshly made smoothies and juices.
