If Team Society got £1 for every time we get asked about spa recommendations, well let’s just we’d be on the first flight to Mexico.
Jokes aside, (we’d stay put in the beautiful north-east) we’ve come up with a list of spa days in both Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Of course everyone wants something that bit different from a spa day, and a venue which has it all is admittedly hard to find.
We’ve whittled down our selection, with a combination of independent and bigger brands.

A popular wedding venue, the spa and leisure facilities add that something extra to this beautiful spot in Aberdeenshire.
You can tailor your spa day with soothing ishga treatments and beauty treatments, and there’s also some fantastic offers available at present.
The indoor pool is rather lovely, and there’s a choice of indoor and outdoor hot tubs, plus an oak barrel sauna and steam room.

With Thainstone House famed for excellent dining, we’d recommend booking a package and making a day of it.
The afternoon tea spa day is particularly popular, but we’re hooked by the Twilight Spa package.
Relax under the stars and treat yourself to dinner after a leisurely swim.
Devona Spa at Hilton Aberdeen TECA
