It’s a rare treat to discover a UK hotel that truly ticks all the boxes with luxurious rooms, exceptional dining and wellness facilities to keep you busy for days. It’s even rarer still when it’s perched on a stunning stretch of coastline that offers guests the chance to search the beach for sea glass and take in panoramic views of the North Sea.
Seaham Hall has long been a destination synonymous with a refined luxury experience. Now the five-star resort has raised the bar even higher with the introduction of the Novara Skin & Aesthetics clinic nestled within its acclaimed Serenity Spa. This transformative addition ensures Seaham Hall remains the go-to destination for guests seeking aesthetic treatments, wellness experiences, and an elevated hotel stay.
The Serenity Spa itself is nothing short of a sanctuary for guests. Accessed via a tranquil pathway flanked by calming water features, the spa immediately cocoons you and your senses. Inside, guests are treated to a world-class wellness journey, with access to indoor and outdoor hydrotherapy pools, two temperature-controlled cold plunge pools, a steam room, and a rejuvenating Himalayan salt sauna (a favourite of mine). Whether you’re a hotel guest or visiting for the day, the spa offers a world away from everyday life.
Within this soothing space now lies Novara Skin & Aesthetics, the latest evolution in skin health and personalised wellness. Specialising in tailored, results-driven treatments that harmonise science and self-care, Novara Skin & Aesthetics offers everything from Hydrafacials and skin peels to polynucleotides, anti-wrinkle injections, and advanced dermal fillers. With expert clinicians and a medically-led ethos, this bespoke clinic provides more than just a beauty treatment or two; it’s a full-circle wellness experience that nurtures both skin and soul.
For those wanting to extend their stay and enjoy the hotel to its fullest potential, Seaham Hall’s colourful and luxuriously appointed rooms offer the perfect home away from home. Each room is individually styled with characterful decor and flamboyant interior touches, offering views of either the sweeping coastline or manicured grounds. Ground floor rooms offer access to private gardens that include in-room hot tubs for further relaxation.
When it comes to dining, Seaham Hall continues to impress with its newly refurbished signature restaurant, The Dining Room. Set within the stunning main Georgian building, the space strikes a fine balance between old-world charm and contemporary dining. Glittering 14-carat gold chandeliers, rich textures, and expansive Georgian windows create an inviting, elegant atmosphere ideal for both romantic evenings and celebratory group dinners.
Executive Chef Damian Broom’s new seasonal menu celebrates the very best of the North East, drawing inspiration and produce from local suppliers, including honey farms and sustainable seafood partners. The menu features a selection of small and large sharing plates designed to bring people together, something it does very well. Highlights include Organic Burrata with Basil Pesto and grilled Focaccia, Isle of Skye Scallop Crudo, Whipped Smoked Cod Roe with Lavosh Cracker and most incredible of all, the Adora, Fiorentino Riccio, Piccadilly and Datterino Tomatoes with Blood Orange and Urfa Chilli. Served seven days a week from 6:30pm to 9pm, The Dining Room continues to set the standard for fine dining along the Durham Heritage Coast.
Looking to the future, Seaham Hall is also expanding its offering with the development of 19 new luxury lodges. With a Gross Development Value of £10.75 million, the expansion not only enhances the resort’s long-term value but also provides a unique opportunity for prospective buyers wanting to experience their own home away from home here. Designed to blend beautifully with the surrounding landscape, the lodges promise up to £56,113 annually in returns, with the added benefit of up to 10 weeks of personal use per year.
Whether you come for a rejuvenating treatment at Novara Skin & Aesthetics, a full spa day, or a longer luxurious escape, Seaham Hall now offers more reasons than ever to visit. With wellness, gastronomy, and indulgence perfectly intertwined, this is a destination where you can truly reset, recharge, and reconnect.
