If you’d like to ease yourself into the new year with a spot of pampering, Bath is the perfect place to do it. 

The UK’s original spa city, Bath’s natural hot springs have been used for public bathing since as far back as the Roman times. In fact, the city used to be named Aquae Sulis (the waters of Sulis) after the goddess the springs were dedicated to. 

The most famous spa complex in Bath is of course the historic Roman Baths, which date from around 60-70 AD. But while you unfortunately can’t enjoy a dip there due to the water quality, there are plenty of other fabulous spas and pools to enjoy in Bath.

Here’s our roundup of the best Bath spa deals and packages in 2022…
