Top five luxury golf and spa resorts in the UK…

From pitch and putt to sea salt scrub, golf and spa resorts offer the ultimate in couple-compatible weekend breaks.

Offering a hot combination of green and steam, here’s five of the best luxury hotels in Britain.

The Grove, Chandler’s Cross, Hertfordshire
Voted Best UK Spa Retreat by Conde Nast Traveller, The Grove combines a state-of-the-art swimming pool with a pampertastic treatment menu offering oriental joint massage, holistic hand treatment with hot stones, and many more. You can’t get more romantic than the private ‘deep couples bath’ surrounded by candles and petals and available for up to three hours at a time. Perfect after a day on the designer 18-hole golf course. More

Westin Turnberry Hotel, Ayrshire, Scotland
Breathtaking ocean views can be enjoyed from both the professional golf course and the indoor oasis. When you’re not bathing in sea crystals or practising your swing at the golf academy, you may want to knock a few back in the whisky bar, or even hire a 4x4 for off-road driving with an expert guide. A ‘spa at night’ package offers couples an oriental head massage and dinner for two on the terrace overlooking the green. More

Celtic Manor Resort, Usk Valley, Wales
A sprawling country residence nestled in 1400 acres of golfing grounds makes for a golfer’s paradise. Throw in one of Europe’s premier golf clubs, a profession golf shop and academy offering private tuition and you might find yourself short of time to spend in The Forum, where sixteen treatment rooms, plunge pools and a holistic centre surround a 50-seater free form spa bath and swimming pool. There’s also an entertainment centre for kids. More

The Vineyard at Stockross, Newbury, Berkshire
The 18-hole par 71, 6353 yard golf course is a two and a half mile drive to the nearby sister hotel, while the spa is located onsite and offers all the usual steamy, bubbly facilities as well as innovative treatments with ingredients ranging from caviar to basalt. Connoisseurs will find plenty to gorge on in the Michelin star restaurant, or can go one step further with the ‘deconstructing the grape’ spa treatment – a red wine body nourishing wrap. More

Bovey Castle, Devon
Both the 1926-built championship golf course and the contemporary wellness centre make the most of their setting, with views across the Dartmoor National Park in which this imposing castle residence lies. 150 cocktails are offered in the piano bar, but some of the holistic treatments – sweet milk and oranges facial, yellow cornmeal body scrub – sound even more delicious.
