So, there is not only the UK’s first Gin Spa in central Glasgow, but each treatment room boasts a different gin theme, including the spot’s newest Caorunn gin-themed treatment room. Guests are invited to relax in the bespoke, serene spaces, where they will be swiftly whisked off to the Highlands.
The Gin Spa is a multi-award-winning innovative destination spa located in Merchant City. Opened in 2017, the spa has been a hit amongst gin lovers, offering treatments, packages, tastings and afternoon tea experiences. The Gin Spa’s focus is on the customer experience itself, and offers a specific range of treatments specialising in massages and facials (and a wide variety of gin, of course!).
Secret Glasgow got the chance to try The Gin Spa, and we got the Weight Off Your Mind package. The package is designed for those needing to relieve stress and anxiety, starting off with a pressure point massage and self-guided meditation. Then, the treatment is followed by an Indian head massage, as well as a neck, shoulder and arm massage and finished with a heated towel neck stretch. At the end, we enjoyed a satisfying gin and tonic to experience the full concept of the spa.
My treatment room was the Caorunn room, which offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the unique blend of classic and hand-foraged botanicals that are crafted together to create the award-winning gin. Once entering the room, guests can immediately smell the aromas that mirror Caorunn’s key notes. The décor is also a nod to its core botanicals and the unique serving of apple garnish.
Take a sip as you sit back and relax, with an opportunity to try the Highland-based gin’s selection of award-winning gins. Spa-goers are also invited to try the new Caorunn Blood Orange, which has also been announced on the shortlist for the Best Citrus Flavoured Gin category at the Scottish Gin Awards. Honestly, you MUST try a wee gin and tonic with the blood orange flavour, as it is truly divine, in our humble opinion.
To experience the brand new addition to The Gin Spa, simply book any treatment or package and request it to be performed in the Caorunn room. For example, the Gin To Your Tonic package offers 6o minutes of spa treatments of your choice for two, followed by a prosecco afternoon tea and a complimentary gin and tonic from the Fevertree Trolley.
The Gin Spa does not just have the perfect serve, but there just is so much more than meets the eye. From themed rooms to well-thought-out treatments and experiences, the spot is the perfect combination that should satisfy every gin and spa lover.
