Step into a Cocoon of Calm this Autumn
09/09/2025
Autumn is a season of slowing down, offering time to turn inward and prepare for the months ahead. The autumn equinox brings with it shorter days, and as a golden glow settles over Dartmoor’s rolling hills, Gaia Spa at Boringdon Hall becomes a sanctuary for rest, reflection and renewal. We invite you to take a pause, step in from the crisp air, and immerse yourself in a warm cocoon of calm.
A Journey To Peace
This season, embark on one of our signature GAIA Journeys. Each journey combines two of our signature treatments, working in harmony for a transformative therapeutic experience.
The GAIA Balancing Journey is thoughtfully crafted to anchor your energy and bring equilibrium to the body. A hot stone massage soothes aches and pains, followed by a nurturing Jade facial to encourage blood flow and relieve tension. A hand and arm massage completes the journey to support total relaxation.
Designed to quiet the mind and encourage peace within, discover the GAIA Calming Journey. Experience a restorative sequence of touch that begins with a grounding back, neck and shoulder massage, followed by your choice of scalp or Indian head therapy, and completed with a gentle arm and hand massage. Extend your calm with a 90-minute journey that includes a facial cleanse and massage focussing on pressure points to gently relieve tension.
At Gaia Spa, every detail is designed to support your wellbeing. Our treatments and rituals blend intuitive touch, natural ingredients, and mindful intention, inspired by the rhythms of nature.
Spa Days Under The Stars
Whether you're seeking a full day of healing or a few hours of quiet escape, Gaia Spa Days offer curated experiences to suit every need. From nourishing treatments to time spent in the pool, steam rooms, sauna, and relaxation spaces, each spa day is an invitation to focus on you.
As the evenings draw in, take a few hours to relax with the Twilight Spa Package. Arrive in the late afternoon, slip into a robe, and enjoy full access to the spa facilities as the quiet of dusk guides you into deep relaxation. Add a three-course meal at Boringdon’s 2 AA Rosette Mayflower Brasserie with the Twilight and Dine Package, for added nourishment after a busy day.
If you’re looking to upgrade your evenings, settle in with the Hesperus Spa Day, named after the goddess of evening star. Enjoy a 60-minute Gaia treatment, full use of the spa facilities, and an unforgettable evening dining experience in the MICHELIN star and 4 AA Rosette restaurant Àclèaf.
At Gaia Spa, our patio hot tubs become prime stargazing spots in the long, dark evenings. Sit safely cocooned in warmth under a twinkling canopy, while the cool autumn air provides a refreshing contrast as you seek out the constellations.
A Place To Pause
Whether you’re watching the mist roll over the hills from the hydrotherapy pool, enjoying a soothing treatment, or relaxing in the sauna, every moment here at Gaia Spa is an invitation to slow down and return to yourself this autumn season.
