In 2017, Buxton’s Devonshire Spa at the University of Derby’s Buxton campus was shortlisted in the Good Spa Guide Readers’ Choice National Awards.
The spa, based in the Devonshire Dome, was a finalist in the Best Customer Service category alongside spas including Center Parcs’ Aqua Sana Whinfell Forest and Longleat Forest.
The commercial spa also provided practical training for students aiming for careers in spa management.
Isobel Stockdale, Head of Spa and Tourism at the University of Derby in Buxton, said: “This is fantastic news for our staff, students and guests.
“It is testament to the high-quality work we are doing in terms of real-world learning for our students, alongside running a successful commercial spa. The calibre of nominations is superb, so to be able to compete alongside high-profile names is a real success for us all here at Buxton.”
At the time, the spa’s thermal facilities included a hydrotherapy pool, foot baths, a sauna, steam rooms and a relaxation lounge, as well as a hammam room.
The spa was named Best Luxury Emerging Spa in Northern Europe at the World Luxury Spa Awards 2017 and Professional Beauty’s Day Spa of the Year in 2016. It was also shortlisted for Professional Beauty’s Regional Spa of the Year.
Sian Jones, Spa Manager, added: “We are delighted. We pride ourselves in our unique spa on our guest service and aim to always exceed expectations. As a small spa, to be featured amongst such prestigious spas is wonderful.
“This nomination adds to a successful list of accolades the spa has received over recent years and really helps to put Buxton on the map as a destination for excellence in spa and wellness.”
The 2017 Good Spa Guide awards ceremony was scheduled for 14 November.
