Welcome to the third iteration of<\/em> Vogue\u2019s global spa guide<\/a>, a collection of the 100 best spas in the world, compiled based on first person reviews and careful editing. This year, we\u2019ve renewed our focus on places that have established a reputation for exceptional care of body and mind. Whatever you are seeking when it comes to wellness, there is something here for you.<\/em><\/p>\n Heckfield Place<\/a> is less than a decade old\u2014this delightful hotel and 438-acre estate in the Hampshire countryside, just an hour\u2019s drive from London, only opened in 2018\u2014but it already has the feel of an institution. You can chalk that up partly to the grandeur of its setting: the sweeping driveway, the Grade II-listed Georgian manor house that is its beating heart, and of course, the elegantly landscaped gardens, which include two lakes, a seemingly endless number of forest trails, and a working farm.<\/p>\n Any reliance on the clich\u00e9s of an English country house hotel ends there, however: The interiors have been very stylishly reimagined by Ben Thompson, a prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Ilse Crawford, with bespoke contemporary furniture, crackling fireplaces, and a distinctive palette of soft greys, sages, and earth tones that threads its way through every room. (I especially loved the earthy feel of the hand-woven rush mat sourced from a local workshop at the foot of my bed, and the terracotta tiles in my bathroom.) It doesn\u2019t look, or feel, quite like anywhere else, which is exactly what you hope for from a hotel of this caliber.<\/p>\n And then, there\u2019s the 17,000-square-foot spa, which only opened in 2023, The Bothy by Wildsmith<\/a> (Wildsmith<\/a> being the hotel\u2019s in-house skincare line, named after the estate\u2019s head gardener in the 19th century. The brand has become so popular that it\u2019s now sold in Liberty and often appears in the bathrooms of rival hotels\u2014it\u2019s just that good.) The reason it opened so many years after the hotel is that the team wanted to make sure every detail was right, and that patience paid off: it\u2019s a doozy. In the words of The Bothy\u2019s director, Reka Seres-Erdei: \u201cThe Bothy is the reknitting of all parts of the estate\u2014it represents the vision of accepting and living by the natural cycles of seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/assets.vogue.com\/photos\/69d54f9f1458eef5d2fd650e\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/voguespaclub2026.png\"\/)
