Portavadie Spa Day

Spa Experience with 2 Course Lunch for 2

But Scotland is also pretty hot at keeping fun levels up when the temperature drops.

Feel the heat with this Big Deal on a spa experience with lunch for two at Portavadie on Loch Fyne.

Located on Argyll’s Secret Coast, Portavadie offers a haven of tranquillity among some of Scotland’s most striking scenery.

One of the most striking features of the luxurious resort is the Spa and Leisure Experience.

Built using glass, steel, stone and neutral tones, the new facility is a light filled, modern space with Scotland’s largest heated outdoor infinity pool.

The Telegraph has called the leisure complex the ‘jewel in the crown of the resort’.

With spa pools, an indoor pool, sauna, gym and fitness suite – all with stunning views of Loch Fyne – it is easy to see why.

Available Monday to Friday, today’s Big Deal is for two people to enjoy a spa experience with full use of the leisure facilities plus a two course lunch in the Spa Café.

Spa facilities include hydro pool, sauna and steam room plus relaxation space.

Of course, guests are also welcome to treat themselves to spa treatments and with today’s big deal you will receive a 10% discount on these.

DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Westerwood Spa and Golf Resort

Spa Day with Rasul Treatment, Afternoon Tea + Use of Leisure Facilities for 2

ABBA were right. It is a rich man’s world.

Happily, you don’t have to have an oligarch’s bank balance to enjoy the finer things in life.

Like this Big Deal for two from the DoubleTree by Hilton Westerwood Hotel.

It includes a soothing Rasul treatment in a refurbished spa, afternoon tea with a mocktail and a half day in the leisure club. Weekend supplements and seasonal shut-outs apply.

The award-winning DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Westerwood Spa and Golf Resort is set within stunning grounds with views towards the Campsies. It is also handy to reach from Glasgow as it’s just a twelve mile drive along the M80.

Once you arrive, you can both sink into the heated pool and forget that it’s winter for an hour or four.

Joy.

For many, the highlight of a spa day here is the Rasul treatment. Based on an ancient Arabian ritual, this 30 minute, self-applied treatment uses mineral-rich mud or algae gel to deep cleanse and invigorate the skin. This treatment takes place in one of the spa’s private double treatment rooms. A romantic idea for a couple.

Mineral muds or algae gels are presented to smooth onto the body and face yourself before you sit within the enfolding warmth of the Rasul. Steam, infused with relaxing aromas, is then gently introduced to the private chamber to help soothe tense muscles and open the pores.

Towards the end of the experience, the steam will disappear to be replaced by a cool shower, leaving your skin feeling deeply cleansed and beautifully soft when you emerge. 

This Big Deal is £59 for two people to enjoy a soothing Rasul treatment in a refurbished spa, afternoon tea with a mocktail and a half day in the leisure club at DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Westerwood Spa and Golf Resort.

Valid from now until the end of March 2020, this Big Deal would make a gorgeous Christmas gift but would also be ideal for anybody who needs to de-stress in the frantic run-up to Christmas.
