A new spa is coming to Ullswater Heights
Leisure Resorts has revealed plans for a major wellness development at its Ullswater Heights resort near Penrith. Announced on 22 October 2026, the multi-million-pound project is due to start construction in November, with a summer 2027 opening target.
What will the spa include?
The proposed facilities include a 12-metre outdoor hydrotherapy pool with a swim-up bar, sauna and thermal experiences, treatment rooms, relaxation domes, outdoor fire pits and a gym. The design is intended to make the most of the northern Lake District setting.
Who will be able to use it?
The operator says the spa is being developed for holiday guests, lodge owners and local residents. It has also referred to membership options, but final packages, day-pass prices, treatment menus and booking rules have not been confirmed.
When will it open?
Summer 2027 is the target, not a confirmed opening date. Construction timetables and final facilities can change. Do not assume spa access is included with an existing holiday booking before the operator confirms it.
Where is Ullswater Heights?
The resort is at Silver Howe, Newbiggin, Penrith, CA11 0JB. It is an established lodge destination, distinct from the proposed spa, and can be explored through our Ullswater Heights resort listing.
