Embrace the elements
The Wild Spa is a self-guided spa experience through the Elements Trail, a series of hot and cold therapies based on the four elements - air, earth, wind and fire.
Located alongside Scolton Country Spa, the Wild Spa is available for one and two-hour open sessions and private group bookings of two hours, a half-day or a full-day.
Follow the trail below …
Air
The open-air spa experience occupies a perfect spot overlooking the woodland, meadows and mountains. It begins with a warm outdoor shower to gently warm and cleanse the body.
Earth
This is followed by sauna whisking, which involves tapping and brushing the body with a whisk made from a leafy birch branch tip. This increases circulation and enriches the skin with therapeutic oils and vitamins.
We use traditional Finnish birch whisks which contain powerful antioxidants such as vitamin C and provitamin A, as well as saponins and tannins known for their skin-softening, nourishing and antimicrobial properties.
Fire
Next comes Fire. Step inside our cedar barrel sauna, perfectly positioned to capture magnificent mountain views and spectacular sunsets to the west.
Water
When you can’t take the heat any longer it’s time to cool down.
The shock of the ice bucket showers boosts circulation, releases endorphins, and tightens the skin. If the cold gets too much, just think about those benefits … and reach for the cord again!
Then it’s back to warmth, by taking a dip in the outdoor cedar barrel hot tub. Take time to bathe in the warm waters and appreciate the sounds and scents of nature that surround you.
… to end
The trail ends at the fireside. Gather around the heat of the fire pit and dip your feet into a steamy copper foot bath while enjoying hot herbal tea.
… and if you have a little more time to spare, extend your experience by adding wild seaweed bathing in the Wild Spas outdoor tin tubs. It’s a truly invigorating and therapeutic bathing experience.
