From their relaxing atmosphere, delicious food, and heated waterbeds to all their spa experiences which include massages, facials, inhalation rooms and a whole lot more.

Here's all the fun and fabulous spa experiences in the stunning spa in Woburn Forest…

Aqua Sana Woburn Forest review

Aqua Sana in Woburn Forest is located in Bedfordshire and just under an hour away from London King's Cross St Pancras station. As the spa is located in Woburn Forest you guessed it, it's part of Center Parcs.

The scenery is incredibly picturesque and peaceful. During your time at the spa you'll feel a million miles away from the city. Surrounded by trees, greenery and the outdoor activities in Center Parcs you're constantly reminded of your location - in the heart of a forest.

You're given fresh towels and robes on arrivals and are told not to take your phone into the spa as they want to encourage you to relax, unplug and unwind. Surprisingly it seemed that everyone completely adhered to the rules.

They have a big changing room with lockers, toilets, hairdryers, mirrors and a swimsuit dryer – we were very impressed.

The entire spa is fresh, clean and modern and all the staff are friendly and approachable. There's also staff members near every section of the spa who are able to advise you on what to do next.

And not only are the staff lovely but the other spa goers are too. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable which is perfect for anyone who finds getting in your swimsuit daunting.

You receive welcome drinks and are allowed pastry or fresh fruit alongside a drink – the perfect and healthy start to your day. For lunch they have a wide range of different meals. You can either sit inside the Vitalé cafe or eat your meal on the balcony and have a lovely view of the forest.

If you don't want to sweat too much or let your hair frizz up (we can relate, tbh) then the Blossom Spa is ideal. In this section a heat room, steam room and rain walk room are all available.

Fancy turning the heat up a little? The Herbal section is perfect; there's a sauna, inhalation bath and a relaxation lounge.

Dare to turn the temperature all the way up? Then the Fire and Ice spa is where you'll want to be. There's a stone sauna, lava volcano sauna that's very toasty and if you do need to cool down then head into the snow and ice room.

There's plenty of treatments available too but the Brighten Glow Facial and Massage was incredible. I felt at ease, completely comfortable and at a total state of relaxation the entire time.
