A-Z of Spa
Each month we will be revealing a new letter in our spa glossary of treatments, therapies and more.
A
Apple
Apples are good for your health and well-being which is the ethos of the Spa. The golden apple is a focal point within the Escape Zone and reflects the warmth and luxury of the interiors, the product ranges and the guest experience within the Spa.
Architect
Concept Architect, Euan Dryburgh developed the initial design and it was then over to Leeds based Enjoy Design who were responsible for the implementation and delivery. The final design had to combine quiet, calm elegance, with a ‘wow factor’ for guests as unique as the existing hotel. The result is a building in harmony with the natural environment, further enhanced by the fully landscaped roof terrace. The scale of the building is deceptively large, sitting low, and subservient to the historic hotel, with a simple, glass pavilion capturing the reflection of the adjacent landscape and being lost in the parkland scenery.
Ashlar Stone
The original Rudding House is built from Ashlar Stone. To ensure a seamless aesthetic throughout Rudding Park it has been used on all subsequent developments, sourcing it from the same quarry in Doncaster to help unify the collection of buildings that make up Rudding Park.
Audio Zone
Located in the Escape Zone, the Audio Zone has been designed to centre mind and body listening to meditation and sound healing tracks through personal headsets available from spa treatment reception.
Aufguss
Rudding Park Spa team have been trained by Lay Pang Ong, Art of Aufguss Champion. The practice involves a Master of Aufguss using essential oils to create a stimulating environment within the sauna and circulating the aromatic air using a towel-waving technique. The ritual leaves the audience both mentally and physically revived. Benefits range from a meditative state of mind to improving cardiovascular strength, boosting the immune system, as well as alleviating stress and pain.

This traditional moorish mud treatment begins with an application of smooth warm mud selected specially for its mineral rich properties, to each other's face and body.
The sensation of warmth transfers deeply into your skin as the chamber fills with steam, opening pores and allowing your body to naturally absorb the mud's natural nutrients. As the temperature rises, the mud dries and draws out impurities, before a gentle rain shower helps ease the mud away. The experience is completed by one of our exfoliating body scrubs combined with a nourishing body oil.

Roof Top Spa and Garden
The Roof Top Spa Garden was designed by renowned landscape architect, Matthew Wilson, a regular on BBC Radio 4’s Gardeners Question Time. A respect of the natural landscape is reflected throughout the Roof Top Spa Garden, which takes its cue from the woodland glades that border The Spa. Guests can enjoy the south facing Sun Deck, warm open-air Spa Bath and Garden Sauna Cabin amongst this garden with swathes of ornamental grasses, flowering dogwood and mature trees that create the sensation of the garden floating in a woodland.
