Estelle Manor estate, located in Oxfordshire, has opened its new spa, Eynsham Baths. This long-awaited spa, set in the ancient woodland of the 60-acre estate, has taken five years to create.
Inspired by Roman bathhouses, this 3,000 square metre spa has classical architecture including sculpted stone columns, pilasters and hand-shaped bricks. A grand mezzanine bathing hall is located at the centre of the baths and includes two cold plunge pools plus a Scottish bucket for an invigorating deluge of cold water.
The concept is rooted in the work that neurobiologist Dr. Huberman and neuroscientist Dr. Søberg did on thermodynamics and the proven benefits of cold-water therapy — immune-boosting, circulation-charging, weight loss-inducing and mood-transforming.
The spa also encompasses 10 treatment rooms, including couples’ suites and thermal cabins, plus a lounge and an open-air hideaway and bar.
Treatments
The spa is offering ancient rituals, informed by the world’s oldest philosophies of health and longevity. The rituals draw inspiration from ancient healing customs found within Indian, Tibetan and Chinese traditions.
Three years were spent formulating five different plant remedies for the spa’s product offering, under which a multitude of products have been created. The Eynsham Baths five bespoke plant remedies are specially formulated, including an array of oils, silken balms, liniments, body scrubs, soaps and facial oils. They are a form of natural medicine, guided by the wisdom of plants.
Massages include Marma Chikitsa with Chakra Healing, an ancient art that recalibrates the body’s Prana, resetting guests’ circadian rhythms and allowing them to truly decompress. There is also an Indian Potli massage, incorporating the use of heated poultices, infused with ayurvedic herbs.
Through time-honoured techniques, the expertise of highly skilled practitioners and considered remedies, Eynsham Baths allows you to reconnect with yourself on a transformative journey of wellbeing.
