About
The glorious Dorset countryside is famous for its natural beauty, fun attractions and sunny disposition. But we think we’ve found something that makes time spent in this bucolic bolthole even more relaxing - the award-winning Arcadia Spa at The George Albert Hotel.
Nestled in an area of outstanding natural beauty between the county town of Dorchester and the Somerset town of Yeovil, the Arcadia Spa has an enviable West Dorset location. Where else can you go from ocean-hike to Iron Age hill fort to Bridport brasserie, all in one day? But while it makes an ideal base for exploring the Jurassic Coast and visiting attractions such as the Cerne Abbas Giant and Abbey, chances are you’ll find it hard to wrench yourself away from all that’s on offer right here in Arcadia.
The idyllic retreat boasts a sauna, steam room and hot tub, along with soul-soothing rituals from the cocoon-like comfort of six tempting treatment rooms. With luxury body polishes, relaxing massages and Nimue facials that make it look like you’re ageing backwards, you’ll arrive frazzled then float out looking (and feeling) like you’ve just had two weeks in the Med.
The independently-owned Arcadia Spa nestles in The George Albert Hotel, so making a weekend of it will always be a temptation. With a warm and welcoming atmosphere, 39 sleek rooms offer contemporary comforts from WiFi to elegant furnishings. Kick back and relax at the hotel’s restaurant, Kings, or enjoy morning coffee (or a post-massage cocktail) in the cosy lounge.

We had booked the couples full body massage which gave us access to the spa facilities as well. Good points - the spa was very clean and the staff were great. The Jacuzzi and sauna were perfect and the massage was fantastic. Free tea and coffee and water are available as well. Not so good - the steam room wasn’t working, the shower in the spa side jets were dangerous as the water was too hot and we couldn’t get it to go cold, the robes were on the small side. Overall it was good and the massage alone was worth what we paid.

Such a good and relaxing experience! Me and my best friend booked through SpaSeekers and they also helped me to get in contact with the hotel a bit faster for having a confirmation date (as I’ve been booking from a day to other - amazing customer service!). The staff, the spa and everything was a very good experience and we left feeling very relaxed and happy. I’m planning on making another book for my mum for birthday gift. Definitely recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Arcadia Spa at The George Albert Hotel serve afternoon tea?
Yes it does. Well, is it even a spa day if it doesn’t involve sipping tea while indulging in freshly baked scones, tasty cakes and dainty finger sandwiches? And because it’s served in the spa, you don’t have to leave the snuggly comfort of your robe - just watch out for crumbs.
Does Arcadia Spa at The George Albert Hotel have a swimming pool?
Relax, water babies! While there’s no swimming pool at Arcadia Spa, it doesn’t mean you won’t get wet. Pack your cossie, because the spacious Jacuzzi is warm and inviting, while experience showers will wash your stress away.
Does the Arcadia Spa at The George Albert Hotel have accommodation?
It sure does. Check in and chill out, because you’ll find 39 bedrooms designed with comfort in mind, offering spacious ensuite bathrooms, tea and coffee making facilities and free WiFi. Choose from double, twin, single, family, and accessible rooms.
What time is check-in at Arcadia Spa at The George Albert Hotel?
For spa day packages at Arcadia Spa, arrival and departure times vary, so please check your booking confirmation.
What should I pack for my spa package at Arcadia Spa at The George Albert Hotel?
Very little as the spa provides the robe and towel. It might be a good idea to bring flip-flops along with more than one swimming costume so that you can stay warm and dry when using the relaxation room.
What is there to do near the Arcadia Spa at The George Albert Hotel?
Nearby Dorchester is well worth a visit. Dorset’s county town and the birthplace of poet Thomas Hardy, it’s a history lover’s dream thanks to its fascinating Museum and the Roman Town House, the finest example of its kind in Britain. Visit Hardy’s Cottage, now managed by the National Trust, alongside his Victorian townhouse Max Gate. Or while away the hours strolling the pedestrianised streets while enjoying the independent shops and bustling markets.

Both treatments and the spa facilities are only available to those aged 16 or older.
Is Arcadia Spa at The George Albert Hotel pet friendly?
