The Grove has self consciously styled itself as London’s ‘groovy grand’ country estate and is in fact the ancestral home of the Earls of Clarendon, set in 300 acres of private Hertfordshire parkland. It’s only 18 miles from central London, making it the ideal urban day-spa retreat. While Hugh Grant tees off on the golf course, Victoria Beckham has sampled its Sequoia Spa which truly is one of the UK’s best. Its contemporary, sleek design using natural materials infuses a sense of calm, balance and tranquillity created around original listed stable buildings. It is one of only 10 sites in the world to offer the ESPA Ayurvedic treatments. The spa’s main pool is a thing of beauty with its vaulted ceiling and chic black slate lining. There are separate male and female heat experience areas including a crystal steam room, Finnish sauna and Turkish hammam. There are 12 large treatment rooms with en suite showers and a luxurious VIP couples' suite which is fully self-contained. The therapeutic saline water vitality pool has 11 individually controlled massage zones. The sunken ornamental garden, juice bar and private spa dining add to the sense of pampered well-being.
