This spa has cleverly capitalised on the fact that Bath has many visitors who come to Bath for the reason that Bath is called Bath.

Apparently Bath is the only location in Britain to have natural thermal springs which is the very reason for the city’s existence and at the core of its development throughout the centuries.

Thermae Bath Spa is a beautiful modern spa complex, very attractively designed to fit in with the lovely architecture that Bath is famous for. There are several hot pools, including a rooftop pool with breathtaking views over the city (day and night).

You can also indulge in a good range of treatments - body wraps, massage, floatation, facials, hot stone therapies…. These are certainly not cheap but you get the feeling you’d get a very professional service.

Generally a spa session in the New Royal Bath (which includes access to all additional pools and cafes, but not the Cross Bath) costs £22 for 2 hours.

We only had an hour and half so we opted for the Cross Bath spa session for £13 each.

The Cross Bath is a small private open-air pool seperate to the main building, with its own source of hot mineral waters.

As most people end up going for the main baths, we were the only people in the Cross Bath, and the privacy of having our own spa was very exciting, and we were extra chuffed because we’d paid loads less than everyone in the New Royal Bath, and we didn’t have to share!

A great treat and a lovely way to get the real Roman feeling of bathing in Bath. Might be a really nice place to have a sort of hen party with girlfriends.

Thermae Bath Spa is a brand new spa. It has an open-air rooftop pool with bubblig seats ;-). The view of the city of Bath is amazing ! It's breathtaking!
There are also four steam rooms and foot bath to massage your feet. Delicious...
It's about £20 per person for 2 hours. You have to pay £2.50 more if you need a towel. It's THE thing to do if you need a day break! Enjoy...
