Riverhills Health Club and Day Spa in Ipswich is redefining the way guests enjoy their spa day with its ‘book time, not treatments’ concept, offering a rare level of flexibility and personalisation in the UK spa market. Discover Experiences Spa Days start from £85 for four hours of unlimited use of the facilities and a 30-minute treatment of choice from the Face, Body or Massage treatment menu.
Instead of selecting treatments weeks or months in advance, guests at Riverhills simply reserve their preferred treatment time when booking their spa day. The actual treatment is then chosen on the day, during a relaxed consultation with their therapist on arrival. Whether the guest craves a tension-melting massage, a radiance-boosting facial, or a restorative body treatment, the choice is made in the moment and every therapist is trained to deliver the full menu.
"At Riverhills Health Club and Day Spa, we believe your spa day should adapt to how you feel, not the other way around," says Debbie Lawes, Spa Manager at Riverhills. "Giving guests the freedom to decide on the day means they can truly respond to their needs, whether that’s to unwind, re-energise, or focus on skin health. And of course, so many spa days are not booked by the person who is having the treatment, so if you are booking for a group or gifting as a present, you can be sure the person will have exactly the treatment they want. It makes the whole experience more intuitive, more personal, and ultimately more rewarding."
The approach is particularly beneficial for groups and gift bookings, as Managing Director Dave Courteen explains: “We want everything about the Riverhills experience to be stress-free, and the ‘book time, not treatments’ concept means that if you are booking for a group of friends or buying a spa day as a gift, you can be certain that everyone can choose exactly what treatment they want. We’ve created a spa experience where guests can simply arrive and relax, without the pressure of planning every detail in advance.”
This unique concept is part of Riverhills’ £6 million transformation completed earlier this year. The sophisticated country house retreat now features a luxurious spa zone with a large swimming pool, sauna, volcano sauna, SnowSky, steam room, vitality pool, nine spacious treatment rooms, and a sensory spa garden. Beyond the spa, guests can enjoy a newly refurbished restaurant with an outdoor terrace, upgraded changing rooms, and enhanced fitness facilities including spin and HIIT studios, creating a complete destination for health, wellness, and relaxation.
Spa day experiences at Riverhills are available to book online, with packages including full use of the spa and leisure facilities, a treatment of choice, and dining options.
