A luxury retreat north of York is about to open its spa following a £12 million investment.
The spa, called Salus, will open within the grounds of the Aldwark Manor Estate next month.
Named after the Roman goddess of safety, wellbeing, and prosperity, the new spa is described as “a sanctuary for relaxation, fitness and holistic wellbeing”.
It includes a scenic sauna, steam room, and 15-metre heated swimming pool.
Outdoors, in the spa garden, visitors can try the hydrotherapy pool or outdoor sauna, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Yorkshire countryside.

The new gym has been fitted with the latest equipment. A unique indoor/outdoor studio will provide space for group classes ranging from instructor-led yoga and high-energy workouts, to on-demand online courses taught via a wellness kiosk.
The outdoor workout area will also provide stations for circuit training and bootcamps.
General manager of Aldwark Manor Estate, Richard Smith, said: “The launch of Salus Spa marks an exciting new chapter for Aldwark Manor Estate.

Our vision has always been to create a sanctuary where guests can relax, recharge and invest in their wellbeing.”
The £12 million investment in Salus Spa follows £18 million already spent on the hotel since it was bought by its new owners in 2019.
This has included a redesign of the estate’s 18-hole golf course, bedroom renovations, and the launch of the Chartwell restaurant.
