The first Aqua Sana opened at Center Parcs Sherwood Forest in 1987. Since then, with continued investment and development, the brand has grown to include six spas in different locations across the UK and Ireland: Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, Elveden Forest in Suffolk, Longleat Forest in Wiltshire, Whinfell Forest in Cumbria, Woburn Forest in Bedfordshire and Longford Forest in County Longford, Ireland. Each spa is nestled in a peaceful woodland, making them the perfect escape from the everyday, a place to get close to nature and spend time with someone special.

The award-winning spa brand recently underwent a huge brand refresh to become the new Aqua Sana Forest Spa; the name better reflecting its offering. Historically, Aqua Sana was the umbrella brand for Center Parcs' spa offering, with its Forest Spa component representing the sizeable hydrothermal facilities on offer at its spa locations. Now, the rebrand to Aqua Sana Forest Spa incorporates the full offering, giving a nod to the forest setting of all its spa locations. Stuart Angus, director of spa at Aqua Sana Forest Spa, said: “Over the last five years, we’ve been transforming a number of our spas into our Forest Spa concept." Across six locations, guests can explore up to 25 immersive and sensory experiences which have been inspired by the natural world, from volcanoes and hot springs to forest glades and mineral caves. "As we’ve evolved our offering, we felt now was the right time to also evolve our branding to better reflect who we are to guests staying on a break at Center Parcs and our spa guests who are visiting for the day.”
