The Spa & Wellness at Riverhills Health Club & Spa
Life can be stressful. But you can carve out an oasis of peace at the centre of it all, with a little help from Riverhills. Put on your snuggly robe, because this boutique day spa boasts eight sublime treatment rooms, including double rooms so you can both be pampered together.
In collaboration with skincare brand TEMPLESPA, Riverhills’ face and body rituals draw inspiration from the vibrant Mediterranean. Whether you're in the mood for a results-driven facial, a detoxifying wrap, or a rejuvenating massage, they’ll help you to glow from head to toe.
Take some time to chill in the relaxation room, but don’t leave without trying the Serail Mud Chamber. A great activity to do with friends, you’ll apply mineral rich mud before stepping into the steam room. There’s space for four of you to relax together, or just go with a partner for a sense of inner peace you can both share.
No matter how burnt out you feel when you walk in, you’ll float out of Riverhills energised, cocooned - and with your skin feeling silky smooth.

I brought my Mum a spa day which included a full body massage and facial, mini manicure and pedicure. The first two treatments were done in the morning and were great. Lovely and relaxing and extremely enjoyable. The last two treatments we had to wait 3 hours for and had a 4pm. We felt that the girls rushed this so they could leave early and we had both treatments in 30 minutes. This wasn't worth waiting 3 hours for and we had to drive to Lowestoft back to our accommodation afterwards.

Riverhills is a lovely run spa and we had a great day, the package through SpaSeekers is a great deal. The treatments were great as were all the staff. If I had to make one comment, the chairs round the pool are not the most comfortable but I would always recommend Riverhills.

We had a lovely day. Great place. Really helpful staff, and very good treatments. The food was excellent too. The only downside was we had to pay £13 each for gown, towels and flip flops (which we could take home). The reason we had to do this was because we booked through you and not them direct (which they do not charge you).

Myself and my partner had an amazing day. All the treatments were wonderful and very relaxing. The use of the leisure facilities was lovely, helped fill gaps between treatments and lunch. Our favourite treatment was the body exfoliation, it was just so relaxing and smooth. Our day ended with a facial, pedicure and manicure all with the same staff, we would like to say that these two were super lovely and amazing not only at their jobs but they were very engaging with conversation and helped have a lovely time. Their names were Danielle and Hannah. Only negatives were that on our first treatment only 1 of us went and the other waited for 30mins. No one came to talk to the person waiting until after, however they rearranged the treatment for later in the day and were very forgiving. Lastly, we waited 25mins for some scones with cream and jam, they came frozen in the middle to which we sent back and then we waited another 25mins for the next lot. The waiter we dealt with was very kind.
