FAQ

Is there an age restriction for spa access?

Got a spa-loving mini-me? Age restrictions depend on the Ayr spa you’ve booked. But when it comes to the thermal suite access or treatments, most of our spas in Ayr are strictly for over 16s or 18s only. But there is some good news if you’re booked in for the night at Marine Troon, the SpaSeekers venue that’s closest to Ayr. Start blowing up those armbands, because kids are welcome to splash in the pool at family swim times.
