Best for an uplifting experience: BSpa at Brooklands Hotel, Weybridge

Overlooking the Mercedes-Benz World track, the BSpa at Brookland Hotel will get the heart racing in more ways than one. The recently refurbished retreat offers a series of thermal and hydrotherapy experiences that will leave you feeling in the fast lane again. Start in the Himalayan Salt Room, where the salt-infused air brings a number of health benefits, such as improved sleep and respiratory wellness. You can then move on to time spent in the infrared or a traditional sauna; a steam room with an experience shower and a sunlight therapy room. While the massage jets do their work in the hydrotherapy tub, you can watch the cars zoom past on the track. Finally, head to the Tranquillity Meditation Room, where you can lie back on one of the warming waterbeds. A glass of chilled prosecco is the best way to salute the winner in you.

Best for a glam makeover: The Langley Spa, The Langley, Buckinghamshire

Based on the opulent spas found in the Middle East, The Langley Spa – found at The Langley, a Luxury Collection Hotel – feels in stark contrast to its bucolic surroundings. The mansion was once the former hunting lodge of the third Duke of Marlborough and sits in 12 acres of idyllic park and woodland. The subterranean space offers a different kind of beauty, more likely to be found in the glitzy resorts of Dubai. The glamorous spot has a marble hammam, a beauty room for pedicures and manicures and a hair salon. With its rose quartz steam room and vitality pool, the ladies thermal area, meanwhile, offers a sense of seclusion. There’s a grooming area for men, too, with dedicated treatments, so no one is left out. All treatments on offer are top-notch with facials by Sisley and beautifully scented, orange blossom-themed massages. Treatments from £75, marriott.com
