Summer Spa Days in the Suffolk Countryside at SbN
With the long summer days, golden sunsets and longer evenings, it’s no wonder we are all trying to make the most of the outdoors. However, there’s one thing we all crave a little more of at this time of year: relaxation. And what better way to unwind than with a spa day in the sunshine?
Once you arrive at Stoke by Nayland, the scent of summer wildflowers in the air and a warm Suffolk breeze nudging the trees welcome you with open arms. Perfect for solo spa seekers looking for some much-needed me-time, a romantic day with your partner, or a gathering of friends looking for a well-deserved pamper day, enjoy a blissful escape in the heart of Constable County.
Let’s take you through your perfect summer spa day…
Arrive and Unwind in Style
From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed not just by our friendly team, but by the great outdoors. With sweeping views across the Dedham Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Peake Spa offers an immediate sense of calm.
Slip into your soft robe and flip-flops (provided, of course), let go of your phone, and take your first deep breath of the day to fully relax and unwind.
With full access to the spa facilities, you can start your day exactly how you like. The 18-metre heated pool is perfect for a leisurely swim, while the jacuzzi bubbles can melt away any lingering tension. The sauna and steam room offer a blissful detox, while our cosy relaxation spaces are ideal for a bit of quiet time with an herbal tea and a good book.
Pampering Treatments that Make You Glow
As the morning continues, one of our spa’s experienced therapists can provide a treatment of your choice.
The spa menu offers a wide variety of treatments tailored to your needs. From soothing aromatherapy massages to hydrating facials that bring your summer glow to life, everything is designed to leave you feeling renewed. If you're in the mood for something a little different, the Rasul mud therapy experience is both fun and incredibly restorative, featuring a private steam room, mineral-rich muds, and lots of laughter, making it ideal for couples or groups of friends!
Prefer a finishing touch? Choose from our manicures, pedicures, or more advanced beauty and body treatments. If you're a new mum or mum-to-be, we also offer specialist pregnancy treatments to support and soothe your body during this precious time.
Not sure what to book? Our friendly spa team can help you choose something based on how you want to feel, whether that’s refreshed, glowing, totally chilled or all three.
Alfresco Dining
After your treatment, it’s time to indulge in another essential part of any great spa day - the food. At Stoke by Nayland, we make sure it’s not just good, but delicious!
With your own reserved table in Peake Bistro for the day, there's no need to get out of your cosy robes. Treat yourself to a delicious spread of freshly prepared finger sandwiches, warm scones straight from the oven with jam and clotted cream and an array of sweet treats like light Victoria sponge, zesty lemon posset or fruity raspberry pavlova. Paired with your favourite tea or a glass of prosecco, it’s an indulgence that is perfect for all.
If you’re after something a little more savoury, you can choose from our range of delicious light lunch options, including salads and ploughmans.
Our menu has been designed to suit every kind of appetite, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available throughout the day.
Keep It Moving
Once you have finished lunch, the afternoon offers a choice between gentle activity or total stillness.
For sports enthusiasts, our resort’s fully equipped gym is open to all spa guests. We have everything you need for a solid workout, whether that’s a high-energy cardio session or stretches to keep your body mobile and flexible.
If you’d rather continue winding down, you can head back to the spa and spend more time at the pool. A second visit to the steam room or a quiet rest in our relaxation lounge is often the perfect way to let the day settle. Alternatively, take a walk on our scenic grounds and watch golfers in the distance.
Evening Sunsets
As the sun begins to dip over the horizon, the light softens and the countryside takes on a golden glow. This is when our Twilight Spa truly shines.
With our Twilight Spa package, enjoy an evening spa experience, exclusively on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 5.30pm - 9.30pm. Enjoy our spa facilities, a complimentary glass of prosecco on arrival and watch the stars begin to appear. It’s a popular choice for couples and friends looking to spend quality time together after work without feeling rushed!
Finish your spa day with a drink at the Orchard Lounge & Terrace, and unwind in style.
Make It a Spa Break
There’s always the option to extend your stay - and we highly recommend it. Why not choose one of our spa breaks?
At our resort, we have a range of overnight accommodations, including contemporary hotel rooms and suites. Our eco-lodges are perfect for groups looking for additional space amidst our countryside setting.
Our spa breaks are the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion, reconnect with your loved ones, or simply take time out for yourself. With local walking trails, charming villages nearby, and championship golf courses on site, you’ll find there’s plenty to explore once you’ve had your fill of pampering.
Book Your Summer Escape
At Peake Spa, our warm, welcoming atmosphere puts you at ease the moment you arrive. From the thoughtful details, expert therapists and quality products to delicious dining and a picture-perfect setting, it’s the sense of space, both indoors and out, that makes you feel like you’ve truly stepped away from the everyday.
There’s nothing stuffy or overly formal here. Just a calm, peaceful environment where you can breathe deeply, unwind and feel more like yourself again.
Summer dates do get booked up quickly, especially weekends, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead. If you can visit midweek, you’ll often find things a little quieter and more relaxed.
Whether you’re coming alone, with a loved one, or with your favourite people in tow, there’s no better place to slow down and soak up the summer.
Clear your schedule, book that spa day, and let the sunshine, prosecco and pure bliss do the rest!
