Prioritising wellbeing this April

On 7^th April we mark World Health Day, a timely reminder that wellness isn’t a luxury, it’s a daily practice. April is also Stress Awareness Month, a powerful period of reflection, inviting us to notice what’s weighing us down and choose healthier ways to restore balance.

Even a few slow minutes in your day can be a small but powerful reset.

Team tip from therapist Ami: “I use breathing exercises to stay calm. Meditation apps have many different ways we can use our breath to relax.”

Your serene sanctuary

Inspired by nature and delivered with thoughtful expertise, Gaia Spa near Plymouth is a sanctuary where nourishing and nurturing come first. Time spent at Gaia Spa is your opportunity to step away from the strains of the everyday and focus on your health and wellbeing, whether that’s through a targeted treatment, a restorative spa day, or an unhurried spa break.

Our menu of treatments has been carefully curated. Centred around the mind–body connection and the power of touch, each experience is tailored by our therapists to support your unique needs, utilising naturally formulated products to help you feel calmer and lighter.

Treatment of the month: GAIA Restorative Treatment

Our GAIA Restorative treatment is a deeply grounding ritual combining a therapeutic back cleanse and exfoliation with GAIA’s unique body scrub, followed by a detoxifying mud mask. After warm towel removal, your back is treated to a hot stone massage using your chosen oil blend: Awakening, Balancing, or Calming.

Product of the month: Awakening Body Scrub

Exfoliate, cleanse and moisturise in one simple ritual. Handcrafted with mineral-rich clay and natural sea salt, the GAIA Awakening Scrub buffs away dullness while helping draw out impurities and lock in moisture. Finished with an invigorating essential oil blend of rosemary, Ravensara, peppermint and lemongrass, it leaves skin smooth, nourished and delicately fragranced.

A season to restore: Signature Spa Break

As we move through Stress Awareness Month, a spa break can be a gentle way to slow down and reconnect. Enjoy peaceful time for you within the tranquil surroundings of Gaia Spa at Boringdon Hall with our Signature Spa Break, created to help you unwind, rebalance and leave feeling restored. Book a Courtyard Room on a Signature Spa Break for stays until 30th June 2026 and enjoy the gift of an upgrade to a serene Wellness Room*. Designed with natural tones and textures, our Wellness Rooms are your cocoon of calm only moments from the spa. Quote code WELLNESS when booking.

Facilities that support your health

Gaia Spa’s facilities complement our treatments, helping you feel better in your body. Enjoy a relaxing swim in our 30°C indoor pool, or step into the swim-through hydrotherapy pool with timed hydro jets. Warm-water bathing and gentle movement can feel soothing for muscles and joints, support circulation, and offer a calming, low-impact way to reset.

For heat therapy, choose our Herbal Sauna for gentle warmth and aromatherapy, or the traditional Finnish Sauna for a more intense dry heat. Both can encourage deep relaxation, support circulation, ease post-workout stiffness, promote detoxification through sweating, and help you sleep more soundly afterwards.

Whether you’re seeking a quiet moment of calm or a full mind-and-body reset, let this month be your cue to prioritise you, with a spa day, spa break, or tailored treatment at Gaia Spa at Boringdon Hall in Devon.
