Fairmont St Andrews Signature Spa

If you happen to be staying in St. Andrews this year, and particularly at the Fairmont Hotel located just 2 miles out from the town, make sure you arrange a spa treatment at the hotels Signature Spa. 

I have been able to experience the Spa on various occasions and each time have opted to have a different treatment…just to be able to fairly judge the different options on offer of course! 

A few of my favorites:

North Sea Salt and Seaweed Exfoliation – using a mixture of seaweed, Celtic salts and eucalyptus, this lovely scrub left skin soft and glowing for days. 

Stress Relief Massage – focuses on the head, neck, shoulders and back for maximum tension release.  Ideal for someone sitting at a desk for long periods!  According to my friend who is a keen golfer, also effective after a round of golf at easing tired muscles.

Naturally Tan – with the not-so-sunny clime ever present in Scotland, it’s always nice to have a glow.  This treatment starts with exfoliation then the tan is applied leaving skin with a golden hint and no residual odor from the product.

This is just a sample of the treatments on offer – take a look for yourself by clicking here.

I would always recommend speaking to your agent about booking treatments in advance as the Fairmont’s Spa can book up pretty quickly.  We’d be delighted to make any bookings on your behalf.

Torrance Course revamped at St. Andrews

Torrance New 18
18th at Torrance Course, Fairmont St. Andrews

The Torrance Course at the Fairmont St.Andrews re-opened mid summer after being closed for extensive refurbishment. Improvements were made to all tees, fairways and all 63 bunkers were completely rebuilt in a revetted style. Now the bunkers are a real hazard to be avoided. The European Seniors Tour visited in August for the Scottish Seniors Open and in 2010 it is one of the venues for Local Final Qualifying for the Open Championship.

What was a pleasant course is now a really good one, the greens were always in great shape and that has not changed, it also has great views down towards the town of St.Andrews and over the Estuary towards Carnoustie. We highly recommend adding to your schedule, especially if staying in the resort it can easily be added on our arrival day or as an additional round during your stay.
