Spa of the Month: Calcot Spa
This June, as we celebrate the kind of glow that comes from feeling well in both body and mind, we invite you to explore our Spa of the Month, Calcot Spa. Set within 220 acres of rewilded meadowland in the heart of the Cotswolds, it’s a place where thoughtful design, natural surroundings and a considered approach to wellbeing come together effortlessly. From its lavender-lined courtyard and heated outdoor hot tub to its new deep relax lounge, Grain Store café, and Grain Store fitness facilities, Calcot Spa offers an experience that feels both restorative and quietly luxurious.
Among the most requested therapies is Forest Therapy, an Aromatherapy Associates massage ritual inspired by the Japanese art of forest bathing. It begins with guided inhalation to centre the breath, followed by carefully applied massage techniques using a unique blend of essential oils including Cypress, Ho Wood and Pink Pepper. These oils were chosen not just for their scent, but for their proven ability to bring clarity, ease tension, and help the body let go of accumulated stress.
Many guests choose to extend the effects of the treatment with a walk through the grounds - especially the private nature trail - where the changing light, open space and wild botanicals offer a gentle sense of perspective. Calcot Spa also hosts guided walks and beekeeping talks, creating subtle but meaningful ways for guests to engage with the land that surrounds them.
This is the kind of place where small rituals leave a lasting impression. From the first breath of essential oils to the final moment spent wrapped in stillness, everything is designed to lift your mood and reset your focus, leaving you feeling lighter, clearer, and re-energised.
To celebrate Calcot Spa as our Spa of the Month, we’re working on something special for our Instagram followers. Keep an eye on @aromatherapyassociates for an opportunity to experience this remarkable escape for yourself.
