Welcome to the North East

A region rich in history, contemporary culture, breath-taking landscapes and ruggedly beautiful coastline.

If being pampered and pummelled while surrounded by nature’s bountiful beauty is your thing, chose a spa in the North East and you will not be disappointed. In fact, the region has one of the highest concentration of Five Bubble Luxury beauties, from Asian-inspired Seaham Hall on the Durham Coast to the three floors of spa heaven at Rudding Park in high-end Harrogate.

Countryside lovers will adore The Swinton Country Club & Spa, set on the 200-acre estate, home to 120 fallow deer; sink into side-by-side freestanding baths at Nadarra Spa at The Coniston and admire views of the Yorkshire Dales - all rolling hills with a dramatic lake at the centre.

Newcastle and Durham have set the bar high for stylish city living, while the area also offers the ultimate escape to England’s least populated county, Northumberland. Famed for its wide and, often, deserted sandy beaches and protected moorlands; its national park - the northernmost in the UK - offers 400 square miles of woodland, hiking tracks and squeaky clean rivers.

Ocean lovers can wander the 62-mile Northumberland Coast Path – from Cresswell in the south to Berwick-upon-Tweed in the north – dotted with dramatic castles, pretty seaside towns and bracing clifftops.

Sitting proud on its rocky plateau overlooking the North Sea, Bamburgh Castle makes a magical backdrop for beach walks.
Located east of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, discover Harrogate’s fashionable spa resort heritage at the Royal Pump Room Museum.
Durham Cathedral has dominated the skyline of this Medieval city for the past 900 years; Harry Potter fans should visit Chapter House and Cathedral Cloisters for a Hogwarts experience.
