The family-owned Cairndale Hotel in Dumfries has unveiled the luxury Cairndale Spa, following a £2 million transformation of its former leisure club.

Covering almost 1,300 square metres, the two-storey spa includes six treatment rooms, relaxation areas and a spa cafe.

The lower ground floor houses a thermal pool which features a number of jets, water blades and airbeds. In addition, visitors can take advantage of the aroma steam room, herbal steam room, Himalayan salt sauna, infrared sauna, herbal lounge, rasul, hammam and private bathing suite along with access to a dedicated café and juice bar.

Cairndale Spa has partnered with UK brands VOYA Organic Beauty, Tribe517 and Gaia Skincare. These are joined by the exclusive Cairndale x Annandale Collection, a range of whisky and vanilla scented products created in collaboration with the nearby Annandale Distillery.

The development has been supported by an award of almost £400,000 in funding from South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE) and has created over 20 new jobs for the area.

Matthew Wallace Jr, Cairndale hotel and spa director, has overseen the development since its inception.

He commented: “Cairndale Spa has been in the planning for a long time, with the last six months since work began being particularly busy, but we are thrilled to now be ready to welcome visitors. It is fantastic to see our hard work and the investments come to fruition and I genuinely believe that we have created something outstanding that the whole region can be proud of.

Wallace Jr. continued: “Our team has worked tirelessly to create a space where guests can relax, unwind and experience luxury bespoke treatments and spa packages within easy reach of some of the most beautiful and less explored parts of southern Scotland.

“We are fully committed to supporting and working in partnership with tourism organisations and local businesses to help put Dumfries firmly on the map as a leading and popular Borders destination.”

The Wallace family have owned and run Cairndale Hotel for 40 years.
