THE Well Spa at Bluestone National Park Resort has been recognised as the Best Spa for Sustainability by the UK’s Good Spa Guide Awards 2025.

Over 100 spas were reviewed by representatives of the awards, 250,000 spa-lovers then voted for their shortlisted favourites, and winners were crowned across eight categories.

Situated in a purpose-built manor house and named after a 13th century holy well on Bluestone’s estate which today provides almost half of its water, The Well Spa is operationally fossil fuel free, using green electricity and BioLPG. About a third of the spa’s electricity use is met by solar, including an on-site solar farm.

The Well Spa spa boasts ten treatment rooms, an ice room, the Sanctuary relaxation area and lounge area.  A vitality pool set in serene surroundings of the garden courtyard, and suite of thermal rooms - including traditional brick sauna, herbal steam room, marine steam room, and Celtic-influenced sauna - are heated using BioLPG; a plant-based alternative to standard propane which has a carbon footprint of nearly zero.  (The Well Spa at Bluestone National Park Resort)

The seaweed for The Well Spa’s signature Seaweed Bath Experience is sourced from Câr y Môr, Wales’ first community-owned regenerative ocean farm.

Marten Lewis, director of sustainability at Bluestone National Park Resort, said: “Our guests visit the spa for a variety of reasons, to be pampered, for peace and tranquillity, or utter indulgence; and shining a light on all the environmentally friendly work that goes on behind the scenes is set to make each visit all that more rewarding.” (The Well Spa at Bluestone National Park Resort)

Daphne Metland, founder of The Good Spa Guide, said: “Indulgence and sustainability go hand in hand at The Well Spa. This award reflects the effort and evidence-based achievements that have been made across multiple areas including the responsible sourcing of ingredients for spa treatments, solely supporting renewable energy use, a conscious and effective management of waste, and promoting circular economies, all the while creating meaningful and memorable spa experiences for guests.”
