ibis Styles Paignton Hotel announces opening of its ‘Drift’ dry spa

The ibis Styles Paignton Hotel has today announced the opening of its new ‘Drift’ dry spa, representing a ‘first of its kind’ in the hotel group’s UK collection.

Open to hotel guests and local residents every Wednesday to Sunday, the new Drift spa boasts the unique distinction of being the first in the ibis Styles’ nation-wide portfolio to offer three beauty treatment rooms alongside a fully-equipped gym.

Visitors will be able to enjoy a range of personalised wellness experiences, designed to promote holistic wellbeing, from traditional massages and luxury manicures to more bespoke, specialist treatments such as reflexology and oncology to support cancer care.

The ibis Styles Paignton is the latest £30 million venture from Singapore-based owner Fragrance UK Luxury Hotel Group, which opened their neighbouring hotel, the Mercure Paignton Hotel, back in April 2023.

Both sites are franchised by the world class Accor group and operated by RBH Hospitality and represent a combined investment in the local area of £70 million.

The team say that the opening of the ibis Styles Paignton Hotel’s Drift dry spa ‘signifies its unique offering to local residents and visitors from further afield, as well as the company’s long-term commitment to boosting the local economy and putting Paignton on the map as a premier UK holiday destination.’

‘We’re truly excited about the opening of the ibis Styles Drift dry spa,’ says Jason Parry, General Manager for ibis Styles Paignton.

Combining your stay with ‘spa treatments and a delicious meal with sea views’

‘It provides our guests with a unique opportunity to enjoy the full package by combining their stay with spa treatments and a delicious meal with sea views at our Deller’s Cafe.’

‘I’m very proud of the ibis Styles Paignton team, who have worked tirelessly to launch this hotel back in January and since helped it become a popular hotspot in the local community.’

‘We look forward to witnessing the continued success of our hotel, especially with the new addition of the Drift dry Spa.’

With 121 spacious and comfortable bedrooms, ranging from standard to superior, the interior design draws inspiration from mythical shorelines as well as the surrounding seaside landscapes, characterised by playful palettes of aqua blues and bold neons.

The hotel also offers an all-day dining experience at Deller’s Cafe, a contemporary space overlooking the sea, blending British seaside cuisine with American diner inspiration like an ice-cream parlour and waffle bar.

The opening hours for the spa are: Wednesday 1000 to 1730, Thursday 1000 to 1730, Friday 1000 to 1900, Saturday 1000 to 1730 and on Sunday from 1000 to 1600.
