Wear Park Spa at Exeter Golf and Country Club has partnered with ESPA and will open its two-treatment room facility on 1 December at the 120-year old retreat, with plans for future expansion.

On the first floor of the Club’s Georgian manor house, in the heart of the facilities, the Wear Park Spa will offer a variety of ESPA treatments, such as reflexology, reiki, plus face and body therapies. The full range of treatments will be rolled out as the spa expands in the future, a spokesperson for the Club told Leisure Opportunities. Massage therapists will be trained by ESPA.

Thermal facilities such as steamrooms, saunas and whirlpools will be available to members and guests visiting the spa as part of a package. Members of the public coming just for treatments will not be able to access the wet zone as it is located in a separate part of the club. There are plans to include entry to the Club’s outdoor pool – in a Victorian walled garden – and wet zone as part of packages next summer, according to the spokesperson.

The Club is currently recruiting beauty therapists for the spa, which will also provide manicures and pedicures. Beauty products will either be supplied by OPI or Jessica, the spokesperson confirmed.

The bottom floor of the Georgian building is dedicated to a dining venue that will serve traditional British cuisine. Like the spa, the floor to ceiling windows downstairs in the restaurant look out on the 18-hole golf course. Spa pamper packages will include visits to the restaurant for lunch, early dinner or afternoon tea.
