Top 10 new spas: AmberRose Spa at Lodge on Loch Lomond, UK

AmberRose Spa at Lodge on Loch Lomond, UK

The 48-room Lodge on Loch Lomond expanded its facilities this June to encompass the AmberRose Spa. Designer Ann Colquhoun and Andrea Roberts Organic Architecture have reconfigured the hotel’s old swimming pool space, which was rarely used, to create a spa that’s pitching to rival some of the best destination spas in Scotland.

The name of the spa is taken from the first names of both of the owners children, Amber and Rose, who provided a unique piece of artwork for the reception area. Facilities include two treatment rooms, dedicated manicure and pedicure stations, and a thermal suite. Providing panoramic views over Loch Lomond, the suite offers a two-person rasul mud chamber for touchless treatments, an aroma steam room, hot and cold showers, a Himalayan salt sauna, a herbal sauna and heated relaxation loungers.

Meeting the demand for wellness “I’ve been working with the Lodge for several years, as prior to the spa being created I was a mobile therapist delivering in-room treatments for hotel guests,” says AmberRose spa manager Correen Scott. “Market research confirmed there was demand for a separate spa space and there’s no doubt the new facilities enhance the overall guest experience.

“It was a very difficult decision to lose the swimming pool but already the introduction of therapeutical treatments and facilities has seen a strong bookings trend from leisure guests. The spa team is settling in well and looking forward to building on the early momentum with a strong season ahead.”
