Always double check opening hours with the venue before making a special visit.
The Titanic Spa is a remarkable space. It’s set in a restored early 20th‑century textile mill in the Linthwaite Valley, Huddersfield, and from the outside, actually resembles an enormous ocean liner – its vintage facade reaching high into the sky, dotted with elegant windows.
Inside, it’s just as impressive, but in a more indulge-yourself sense. The staff are all wonderful – friendly, likeable and enthusiastic about making your visit as pleasure-led as possible. No forced formalities, just natural chatty warmth – all very Yorkshire.
Once you’re on board, there’s a lot to choose from. Grab a cocktail outside and do a spot of sunbathing, then take a seat in the outdoor hot tub, or just kick back on a beanbag in the Relaxation Lounge.
Inside, there’s a huge salt-regulated pool, with plenty of room to swim, and various spots to zone out and relax. You’ll find a sauna and steam room just steps away, and in all honesty, you could spend a good few hours here alone.
A Titanic Spa visit isn’t complete without a massage. There’s a good spread of options on the menu, from classic Swedish to aromatherapy and hot stone sessions.
The Elemis Freestyle Deep Tissue Massage comes strongly recommended: 55 minutes of body-bending bliss, with the same level of friendly, calming professionalism you find throughout the spa.
The mud chamber is a satisfying detour. Go with a partner (or some open-minded chums) and slather each other with mineral-rich muds, settle into the room-filling hot steam, and finally wash it all off. It’s messy, tactile low-tech fun, and not something you find at most spas. For £35 per person, you get 25 hands-on minutes – a mucky must.
The Heat & Ice Experience is the Titanic Spa’s showpiece. This is a circuit of saunas, steam rooms, plunge pools and cooling showers, designed to push your body from hot to cold and back again. Move between herbal-infused steam, crystal saunas, an ice room and bracing experience showers – so many, you’ll probably have to come back to complete the lot.
It’s a pleasing mix of structure and choose-your-own-adventure that leaves you refreshed and ready for the rest of the spa. We’ll take a look at the accommodation and dining options in a future article, but spa day trippers can relax, all the above comes highly recommended. The Titanic Spa is one of the more impressively kitted-out spas in the North, with an expert team to match.
