balbirnie spa breaks

A brand new £5M addition, 4 years in design and development, THE SPA AT BALBIRNIE is going to be the best facility of its type in Scotland.
This is going to be a tremendous addition to Balbirnie and the fact that this new area will be added to the rear and west of the existing building in what is currently a small wooded area and a section of old car park, will mean that our day-to-day business in the interim period can carry on exactly as usual, and 100% as envisaged.
Balbirnie’s Managing Director Nicholas Russell says ‘The Spa at Balbirnie is going to take Balbirnie to another level entirely. Over the last few years our business and brigade have been so proud indeed to have received so many Industry awards, particularly for weddings, and those in particular seem to place Balbirnie very firmly at No 1 in the country. The concept of then adding the Spa will take what is perceived in these terms as the very best, and then we are going to make it even better, in fact miles better. There are Spas and there are Spas, but The Spa at Balbirnie is going to introduce a few aspects which are just totally unique differentiators, the rooftop thermal suite in particular is going to be just spectacular. We’ve got the best design team we could have ever have pulled together to bring this project to Fife. The services we will be able to offer to all of our clients are going to break new boundaries for Scotland, there are certainly tremendously exciting times ahead, I just cannot wait to see the new Spa open’.
The Spa at Balbirnie will be dedicated to providing our guests with the most amazing spa experience combining state-of-the-art design, facility and therapies with our own ethos of care and utmost attention to detail.
