THE Hastings Hotels Group-owned Culloden Estate & Spa has spent £250,000 updating its spa facilities.

The renovation programme included a new nail bar and pedicure facility, upgrade to the swimming pool area and a complete refit and update of the ladies changing facilities.

It comes as the five-star property was named by The Times as one of the Best Luxury Spas to Book in 2023 - the only hotel in Northern Ireland included on the list, where it joins other luxurious hotels including Claridge's in London, The Rosewood Baha Mar in the Bahamas and Cheval Blanc in Paris.

The Times said: “The Culloden is renowned for its A-list appeal; with a beautiful backdrop of Belfast Lough and the Co Antrim coastline, walking around the grounds of this grand castle like building feels like you’re on the set of Bridgerton.

“Throw in some fine dining, opulent decor (think luxe carpets, art-adorned walls and grand chandeliers) and a top-tier spa, and you have yourself a VIP hotspot.”

The property's general manager Niall Burns said: “This most recent renovation programme means Hastings Hotels have invested £1,000,000 in The Spa at Culloden over the last two years, introducing a new linear vitality pool which enables views of the garden through the floor to ceiling windows a Tylarium, which is a combination of a sauna and steam room, and most recently a new nail bar.

“This has enhanced our luxury spa and wellness offering and helped position the Culloden as Northern Ireland’s ultimate 5-star property.

“It is also fantastic to have been recognised as one of the Best Luxury Spas to Book in 2023 by The Times and with our luxurious facilities, first-class service and stunning surroundings, it is no surprise that the hotel continues to be recognised alongside the best hotels around the globe.”
