Solent Hotel unveils new spa following six-figure refurb

Solent Hotel and Spa in Fareham, part of Daniel Thwaites, has unveiled the transformation of its award-winning wellness space, following a six-figure renovation. 

Taking three months to complete, the refurbishment includes a brand-new pool area, as well as a salt sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and storm shower. 

The new design draws on inspiration from the hotel’s coastal location, incorporating blues and natural greenery, reflecting the sea and bringing elements of the spa garden indoors. 

The spa is available to guests as well as through membership for regular customers.

Whilst using the new wellness facilities, guests can also dine at the hotel’s FYR Restaurant,  which offers an open plan, theatre style grill kitchen on the outdoor terrace, complete with nearby fire pit for al-fresco dining. The new menu offers up a selection of locally sourced grilled meats, seafood, British classics and fine-dining dishes for both residents and non-hotel guests alike. 

Regarding the renovation, Nathan Chart, general manager at Solent Hotel and Spa, said: “Within three months, the pool area had an incredible transformation, delivering an inclusive environment for all those seeking relaxation. As we start the new year and wellness is naturally at the forefront of everyone’s minds, we look forward to welcoming our guests to experience the new facilities for themselves.”

Gemma Barratt, group spa director at Daniel Thwaites, added: “We’ve created a space that resonates with the natural beauty of our surroundings while offering modern, high-quality facilities. We want our guests to feel at home in the spa, which will have an elegant, chic seaside style with a playful feel. It truly is a unique experience we’ve created for the area.”
