Milsom Kesgrave Hall Hotel, a luxury hotel in Suffolk, UK, has unveiled plans to build a new spa, with building work expected to begin as soon as next month (April).

Plans for the £1m spa were first revealed in 2017, when hotel operator Milsom sought planning permission from Suffolk Coastal District Council for a health spa with treatment rooms, showers, changing rooms, indoor and outdoor relaxation lounges and a cafe.

The spa, expected to complete in November this year, will be located in a standalone building separate from the hotel and will feature five timber-built double treatment spaces, inspired by the hotel's surrounding woodland, with further plans to add a steam room, sauna and gym at a later date.

Owner Paul Milsom said: "Kesgrave is a fantastic location. The one thing we haven't had is the spa treatment side and that's a welcome addition to what we are doing."

"The intention is that this will not be a big membership business but a day spa. We have included double treatment rooms because going for treatments with a friend, your partner or your mother is one of the growth markets for spas," Milsom added.
