They have state-of-the-art Symbio cardio technology, a group cycling studio, woodland yoga cabin and over 15 exercise classes every day. But don’t think they only do fitness – the Spa Garden is beautiful, the hydrotherapy pool’s massage jets and swan necks are perfect for relieving aching shoulders and the spa treatment therapy team is award-winning. You’ll leave feeling ready to take on 2025 with a spring in your step. foxhills.co.uk

When you walk through the door to The Granary Spa you step into a personal experience which embraces you and takes you away from the outside world’s everyday stresses. Their holistic therapists provide exceptional treatments, using the best natural and organic products to leave you restored and refreshed.

3 The one for Luxury
Exactly what you would expect from a heritage country hotel in the Garden of England. At Brandshatch Place Spa you can unwind in an indoor swimming or spa pool or relax in the sauna or steam room. Meanwhile their treatment rooms offer pampering-a-plenty with options including ELEMIS facials, scrubs and wraps, and mani-pedis. You also get to take advantage of all the hotel facilities while you’re there. Check out their traditional afternoon teas in the majestic dining room for an extra sweet little post-spa indulgence. handpickedhotels.co.uk
4 The one for health
Set in three acres of Victorian gardens, just 10 minutes from Tunbridge Wells, Knowle Grange Health Spa is a surprisingly little-known retreat. Here you can beautify with everything from spray tans to makeup but also find holistic therapies including Reiki healing and Kinesiology. Elsewhere, take a dip in the heated natural spring water pool, warm up in the steam bath, sauna, or jacuzzi, hit the gym or take a fitness class – it’s all going on. knowlegrange.co.uk
