Saltmoore – Luxury spa hotel in Sandsend, near Whitby (North Yorkshire)
Note: this one sits in Sandsend, North Yorkshire, just outside the North East England area covered elsewhere in the book, but included here as agreed. Saltmoore is a wellness led spa hotel set between the North Sea and the heather draped moors near Whitby. It was recently awarded Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 hotel selection, recognised for its distinctive character, warm hospitality and sense of place.
Address: Sandsend Road, Whitby, YO21 3ST
The draw: Michelin Key recognised luxury with a strong wellness and spa focus, plus an enviable coastal and moorland location close to Whitby and Sandsend’s beaches and countryside walks.
Vibe check: A romantic, adventure friendly retreat suited to a weekend escape rather than a quick visit, with the coastal setting and spa facilities being the main draw. Worth booking well ahead given its Michelin Key status and boutique size.
