About
Unleash your free spirit at the beautifully boho Spa Retreat at Bloomsburys Biddenden. Tucked away in the Kent countryside, this hidden gem is a haven of tranquility and nature. But while it may have more rustic charm, tempting facilities and organic treatments than you can point a scented candle at, this is more than just a spa. It’s a holistic experience that will nurture your body and soothe your soul.
So what makes this rural retreat so magical? First there’s the incredible (and incredibly quirky) setting. Bloomsburys Biddenden is a true eco-haven, home to a chilled-out glampsite and an eclectically-styled restaurant, connected by serene gardens. A collective of on-site wellness businesses add to the eco-conscious zen. Where else could you take part in an aromatherapy breathwork session, try a spot of acupuncture, pick up a tincture from a herbal dispensary or visit an all-organic hair salon?
And then there’s the recently revamped spa itself. With a decor inspired by its natural surroundings, a spa host will show you around the aromatherapy sauna, hot tub and cold plunge pool. Take to your lounger for some sun-bathing in-between your botanical treatments. Flick through a book from the wellness library while lying on a heated massage lounger. And the even better news? Because it’s exclusive use, you get this private palace of pampering all to yourself.
Want to make a night of it? Go off-grid in stylishly sustainable yurts, log cabins and safari lodges. As luxurious as they are low-carbon, you’ll find solar-powered showers with underfloor heating, hot tubs and saunas. Snuggle up by log burners and firepits in the evening. And with fabulous food on-offer at the Garden Eatery, you don’t even have to cook - they’ll deliver meals to your door.
With so much on offer, it’s tempting to stay put, ditch digital and rewild. Just don’t forget to venture outdoors while you’re here. Set between Sissinghurst Castle and the historic village of Biddenden, there’s plenty to explore on your doorstep. Biddenden Vineyards is open to the public throughout the year, with free admission and tastings. Get lost in the colourful gardens and romantic ruins of Scotney Castle. Or cycle and sail at Bewl Water, the south-east’s largest reservoir.

The Spa & Wellness at Bloomsbury's Spa Retreat
Elegantly refurbished with a tranquil feel inspired by the gorgeous gardens, the Spa Retreat at Bloomsburys Biddenden is a piece of pampering heaven, far away from the hustle and bustle.
Step inside this serene space and you’ll instantly feel your shoulders drop. Natural materials combine with chic interior design touches to create a contemporary calming retreat where comfort abounds.
With a spa host to cater to your every whim, you’ll get the luxe facilities all to yourselves. Soak in the terrace hot tub, inhale the aromatherapy oils in the sauna, or feel the underfloor heating beneath your feet in the luxurious showers. Solar-powered and eco conscious, you’ll enjoy them even more knowing that your relaxation doesn’t come at the expense of the environment.
Stretch out on loungers and soak up the rays and the garden views. Sun not got its hat on? Head indoors to the luxury chill-out space with its heated massage loungers. Enjoy the views from the cosy snug and lookout room, or curl up with a book from the wellness library or inhale the aromatherapy oils in the sauna.
Wrap yourself in your fluffy towel and robe, then pad through to one of three zen-like treatment rooms for a soul-soothing, wellness-enhancing ritual. Treatments here involve artful applications of Botanicals natural products, to revitalise your skin and uplift your spirit. Skilled therapists offer a holistic approach to your beauty and wellbeing - one that embraces the healing power of nature.
Take a moment to breathe in the scented air while therapists work their magic. Then all that’s left to do is enjoy a herbal tea (or perhaps a glass of something that’s as bubbly as the hot tub), to keep the bliss going.
The Gym & Fitness at Bloomsbury's Spa Retreat
You’ve soothed your soul with a treatment. You’ve relaxed your spirit in the hot tub and sauna. Now it’s time to nurture the health of your body, and Bloomsburys Biddenden will help you do just that.

But if that doesn’t float your exercise boat, why not get out into nature? Bloomsburys Biddenden is surrounded by gorgeous countryside walks. A 30-minute stroll takes you to Biddenden Vineyard, while a slightly longer ramble takes you to Sissinghurst Castle. Ask for a map and they’ll give you a picturesque, traffic-free route.

Me and my partner had such a special experience here. The scenery was beautiful, the afternoon tea was delicious, the massage was so relaxing, but most of all the staff were so welcoming and attentive.

The Cara&Co Bloomsbury spa in Ashford is definitely worth a visit, especially for the afternoon tea package. On arrival you walk through beautiful gardens and feel at peace. The staff are extremely helpful and show you around. There is a sauna, Jacuzzi and massage chairs to enjoy. The full body massage was excellent and released all my stress. Then to top off the day you get a lovely box of afternoon tea treats (via nibble bits) to enjoy on the patio. Would definitely go back despite how long the drive was for us.

A special treat. A wonderful facial, spa and afternoon tea. The staff were welcoming and professional. The whole experience was so restful and we could easily have been in a Mediterranean oasis. So quiet.
