However, relaxation isn’t the only benefit of Eden Hall’s new outdoor oasis. It provides multiple physical and psychological benefits too, according to Dr Glenn Williams, principal lecturer in psychology at Nottingham Trent University.
In addition to reducing blood pressure and stress levels, Dr Williams revealed that being around fire and water connects humans to the natural world - similar practices to what our ancestors followed - which is a wholly nourishing spiritual experience. Listening to the sound of running water and being beside fire can also improve a person’s heart and breathing rate - essential for achieving ultimate tranquillity.
The garden also has a new botanical brasserie, called The Vinery, for a spot of dining as all that chilling can make you feel hungry. The bright space has been designed to bring the outdoors in, with incredible panoramic views.
New menus include breakfast, all-day and drinks menus, boasting a selection of popular dishes and drinks. During breakfast, guests can choose from a range of delicious and freshly cooked dishes including a matcha yoghurt bowl, full English breakfast, and American pancakes. On the all-day menu, guests can enjoy teriyaki vegetables and noodles, Eden Club sandwich, pizzas, and salads.
Complementing the food is an extensive drinks menu including an array of cocktails such as Garden of Eden, Summer Delight and Tropical Royale.
Commenting on the launch, Eden Hall’s managing director Nerys Chell said: “We’re thrilled to unveil the new Spa Garden at Eden Hall. Helping our guests relax and unwind is core to Barons Eden, and we know the garden will be a haven for guests to help improve their overall health and wellbeing.
“We can’t wait to welcome guests to enjoy the new features and we hope the new tranquil environment will be the perfect outdoor sanctuary that can be appreciated for many years to come.”
Nestled in 15 acres of manicured grounds near Newark, the spa is already home to a crystal-clear swimming pool, outdoor hot tubs, rose infused steam room, saunas and tropical showers as well as 25 individual treatment rooms. Guests can choose from a wealth of experiences, from a spa day to a twilight spa experience under the stars, as well as delicious dining options in the recently redesigned Taste of Eden.
