Relax, Rejuvenate, and Recharge at Nirvana Spa in Reading

At Court & Greens, we believe that true wellness is about finding balance, whether that’s through movement on the golf course or padel court, or through moments of pure relaxation. If you’re looking for the ultimate way to unwind and recharge, Nirvana Spa in Reading offers an unparalleled luxury spa experience that perfectly complements our ethos of feel-good escapes.

A Haven of Tranquillity

Nestled in the heart of Berkshire, Nirvana Spa is more than just a place to relax, it’s a sanctuary designed to rejuvenate both body and mind. With its stunning Roman-inspired architecture, calming ambience, and top-tier facilities, this award-winning spa provides an escape from the stresses of daily life. Whether you’ve just finished a morning round of golf or are taking a well-deserved break, Nirvana Spa is the perfect retreat.

The Ultimate Wellness Experience, at Nirvana Spa Reading

Nirvana Spa is renowned for its extensive facilities, each designed to promote relaxation and wellbeing:

Celestial Floatation Pool – Experience the sensation of weightlessness as you float in warm, mineral-rich waters under a sky of twinkling stars. They also provide a hair treatment to protect your hair from the salt, which makes the experience even more relaxing. Don’t worry if you end up floating into other spa-goers, this happened to us a few times!
Hydrotherapy Pools – A variety of heated pools and hydrotherapy jets help to soothe aches and pains, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. The pools are so spacious that there’s none of the usual waiting around for the jacuzzi to become less busy—there’s always plenty of space to use whichever facilities you want, whenever you want.
Salt Water Therapy Pool – This pool includes a series of exercises to try, which are placed around the pool and are much more effective when done in salt water. The challenge is mainly about trying to keep yourself vertical in the water, which feels strange at first, but you soon get used to it. Do be mindful that the salt can sting if you have freshly shaved or have any small cuts, but salt is also a great healer.
Thermal Suites – Enjoy the healing benefits of saunas, steam rooms, and tepidariums, which help detoxify the body and relieve stress.
Luxury Treatments – From deep tissue massages to invigorating facials, Nirvana Spa’s expert therapists offer a range of bespoke treatments tailored to your needs. On our recent visit, we indulged in a head, neck, and shoulder massage, which melted away tension. Afterward, we wrapped up in our robes and headed to the heated stone seats outside the treatment room, where they brought us a hot drink of our choice, creating an incredibly soothing experience.
Vitamin D Loungers – These newly introduced loungers make you feel like you’re basking in the sunshine on holiday. It’s so nice to feel that gentle heat on your skin, especially in the cooler months when natural sunlight can be scarce.

The Perfect Complement to Your Active Lifestyle

If you’re a golf enthusiast, Wokefield Estate Golf Club is just a 20-minute drive from Nirvana Spa. This stunning course offers a great challenge for players of all abilities, making it an excellent addition to your wellness getaway.

Nirvana Spa also offers 'Time Out' packages for the evenings, running from 17:45 until 21:30. These are perfect for unwinding after a full day on the course. This allows you to soak in the spa’s relaxing atmosphere and enjoy its exceptional facilities without needing to commit to a full-day visit.

For those who enjoy staying active, recovery is just as important as movement. Whether you’re an avid golfer, padel player, or simply someone who loves the outdoors, incorporating spa treatments and hydrotherapy into your routine can enhance your performance and overall wellbeing.

After an exhilarating game, a visit to Nirvana Spa can help soothe tired muscles, aid recovery, and provide the ultimate mental reset. It’s all about balance—moving, resting, and recharging to feel your best.

Nourish Your Body, Elevate Your Experience

No wellness retreat is complete without nourishing cuisine, and Nirvana Spa’s dining options do not disappoint. You book your lunch slot in advance, allowing you to enjoy a healthy buffet or choose something fresh from the menu. The spa also has various drinks stations throughout where you can get complimentary soft drinks. It’s a lovely touch knowing that you can try as many hot drinks or juices as you like throughout the day.

If your towel or gown becomes damp, the staff are more than happy to swap them for fresh ones, ensuring maximum comfort throughout your visit. You are also given a spa card, which is scanned for any purchases and for the free soft drinks. This means you can leave your phone and purse/wallet safely in the locker for a true digital detox.

A Future Stay at West Court Retreat

Currently, Nirvana Spa doesn’t offer on-site accommodation, but that will change with the opening of West Court Retreat in Spring 2025. Just a 10-minute drive from the spa. This boutique hotel is set in a beautifully restored 17th-century Manor House and blends historic charm with modern luxury. Guests can enjoy comfortable, heritage-inspired rooms, a seasonal menu featuring locally sourced produce, and The Devil’s Highway Bar, a cosy spot for unwinding with a drink. We’re looking forward to its opening and the opportunity to extend a spa visit into a full wellness getaway.
