We love a spa day. Relaxing by the pool with some bubbles, flitting between the sauna, hot tub and steam room — maybe even indulging in a treatment or two. And now, one of Yorkshire’s own luxurious spas has been recognised globally at The Global Spa Awards 2026.
The Three Graces Spa at the five-star Grantley Hall near Ripon, which also has a Michelin ‘key’ has been named the Best Spa Hotel in the UK — and it’s no surprise. The spa was recognised for its outstanding wellness facilities and exceptional guest experiences. The only question we had was: how do we get on that judging panel? What a life — travelling the world to judge the very best spas.
Located on a historic North Yorkshire estate, the spa team has worked hard to stand out in a competitive field of luxury wellness destinations. The Global Spa Awards celebrate excellence across the industry, highlighting the finest spas, wellness retreats, clinics and spa brands worldwide, and recognising their commitment to exceptional service, innovative treatments and holistic wellbeing experiences.
Grantley Hall’s Three Graces Spa is truly world-class, featuring an 18-metre indoor pool framed by elegant arches, an indoor-to-outdoor hydrotherapy pool with massage jets, and a Nordic Spa Garden complete with ice baths and an outdoor sauna.
Guests can also experience the snow room — a chilled spa designed to complement heat therapies, believed to boost circulation and aid recovery — alongside all the expected luxuries, including a hot tub, sauna, steam room and bespoke treatments tailored to individual needs.
A spokesperson for Grantley Hall said: “We’re so proud of this accolade, based on both the expertise of the world’s leading spa and wellness experts and the opinions of guests who have visited first-hand. These awards, presented to the best spas across the globe, are recognised as one of the most prestigious and authentic honours in the luxury spa and wellness industry, so it’s a fantastic achievement for our exceptional team.”
