Ayrshire’s hospitality group, SimpsInns, which owns The Gailes Hotel & Spa, has revealed its plans to launch a new £3million sea view spa in spring 2025 at its beachside hotel, The Waterside Hotel, at West Kilbride.
Along with 17 additional guest rooms, the new spa will include six treatment rooms, a four-person Rasul experience, indoor thermal area with sauna and steam room, as well as three experience showers.
SimpsInns say the new spa will have a strong focus on the outdoors with a large hydro pool, outdoor shower, cold bucket, a sheltered firepit and seating area.
The Waterside will begin work over the winter months and, once complete, it will create 30 new jobs, including 25 in the spa and an additional five people in housekeeping.
Jack Simpson from SimpsInns, said, “The Waterside has quickly established itself as one of the region’s leading hotels, leisure and wedding venues since its launch in 2015.
“Our latest £3million investment for 2025 will introduce guests to a new luxury spa experience with an iconic Ayrshire coast backdrop. We’re creating the perfect oasis to escape the stresses of everyday life and offer people the opportunity to take back time for themselves to relax, rejuvenate and renew.”
Jack added, “We’re committed to exceeding our guests’ expectations and are regularly investing in our hotel and leisure facilities. Our new sea view spa is a really significant milestone, not only for The Waterside Hotel and the wider SimpsInns group, but for the Ayrshire coast as one of Scotland’s leading luxury spa and wellness destinations.”
