Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort, one of Scotland’s most iconic privately owned estates, is proud to announce that its newly opened Imperia Spa has been awarded “Best New Spa” at the prestigious Good Spa Guide Awards 2025.
Taking place on 24th November 2025, The Good Spa Guide Awards, recognised nationally as one of the leading authorities in the spa and wellness industry, celebrated excellence in design, innovation and guest experience.
The “Best New Spa” accolade honours standout destinations that deliver exceptional treatments, world-class facilities, and a fresh, forward-thinking approach to wellbeing.
Commenting on the award, The Good Spa Guide’s Spa Spy said, “Imperia Spa at Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort was presented with the “Best New Spa” crown for its sleek design, serene setting, high-end treatments and stand-out service, confirming that Scotland’s spa scene is one to watch”
Opening in July 2025, after a multi-million pound investment, The Imperia Spa is set within 350 acres of rolling countryside just 20 minutes from Glasgow. Inspired by Gleddoch’s rich heritage as the stately home of shipbuilding magnate, Baron Lithgow, and by the majestic salons of Europe’s grand imperial hotels, Imperia Spa evokes an age of elegance and excess, where every moment is designed to captivate and enchant. Drenched in gold, obsidian black, and marble, and adorned with quilted upholstery and fluted crystal, Imperia is more than a spa, it is an indulgent, glamorous hostess
