Spa With a Private Pool
Most spa days around Birmingham follows the same pattern. You pay for a day pass, change in a busy locker room, and spend the afternoon sharing the pool and jacuzzi with people you have never met. It is relaxing in theory. In practice, you are often waiting for a seat in the sauna or trying to talk over another group.
A private spa takes all of that away. This guide explains what a spa with a private pool actually is, what you get at Private Wellness, and how to plan your visit so you get the most out of it.
“Your Space, Your Time, Your Wellness”
Why choose a spa with a private pool?
A spa with a private pool is a spa that is booked for one group at a time. Nobody else uses the pool, the heat rooms or the changing area while you are there.
This is different from “exclusive hire” at a hotel spa, where a space that is normally shared is closed off to the public for a fee. At Private Wellness, privacy is not an extra. Every single booking is private by default.
How is a private spa different from a shared spa?
The main difference is who else is there. Here is how the two compare:
| Typical shared spa | Private Wellness |
Other guests | Yes, often many | None, your group only |
Group size | Set by the venue | Two to six people |
Pool water | Usually chlorinated | Low-chlorine water |
Changing area | Shared | Private |
Pace | Queues and time slots | Use everything as you like |
Noise | Other people’s conversations | Only your own |
For couples, friends and families, that difference changes the whole day. You can talk freely, move between rooms when you want, and stop worrying about anyone else.
What is the private pool like?
The pool at Private Wellness uses a Low-chlorine water system instead of chemicals. It was designed and built by Luxpool, a UK specialist in bespoke pools and drinking quality water systems.
Guests usually notice the difference straight away. There is no strong chemical smell, and skin and hair do not feel dry or tight afterwards the way they often do after a public pool.
With the pool to yourselves, you can swim a few lengths, float, or sit on the edge and chat. There is no one to share it with and no rush to get out.
Is there a private jacuzzi near Birmingham?
Yes. Private Wellness has a private jacuzzi near Birmingham, in the form of a hydrotherapy whirlpool used only by your group.
Warm water and strong jets make it the place most guests return to throughout their session. Because it is private, you are not squeezing in beside strangers or timing how long you stay. It is also the easiest spot in the spa to sit together and properly catch up.
Is there a private steam room near Birmingham?
Yes. The aromatic steam room is part of every booking and, like everything else, is used only by your group.
It fills with warm, lightly mint scented steam, and many guests find a few minutes in there after a swim is the easiest way to switch off. It pairs well with the rainfall shower, so you can cool down and go back in as many times as you like.
What else is included in a booking?
Along with the pool, jacuzzi and steam room, every session includes:
- A hybrid cedar sauna for dry heat
- A Himalayan salt feet detox
- A rainfall experience shower
- A reflexology experience
There are no add-on fees to use any of these. Everything in the spa is yours for the length of your booking.
What order should you use the facilities?
There is no fixed route, but this order works well for most guests, take the shower before the use of any of the below;
- Start in the sauna to warm up.
- Cool down under the rainfall shower.
- Swim or float in the pool.
- Relax in the steam room.
- Finish in the jacuzzi.
Drink plenty of water between rooms, and take breaks whenever you need them. With a private booking, there is nothing to rush for.
How long should you book for?
You can book a private session for two, four or six hours.
- Two hours: enough time to try everything once. Good for a first visit or a relaxed evening.
- Four hours: time to go round more than once at a slower pace. The most popular choice for couples.
- Six hours: best for birthdays, hen dos and groups who want to make a full day of it.
A private spa suits anyone who wants the facilities without the crowd, but it works especially well for:
- Couples looking for a romantic day or evening together
- Birthday celebrations with close friends
- Brides and bridal parties before the big day
- Hen dos that want something more relaxed than a night out
Each of these has its own package with extras built in. You can compare them on our Packages page, or read our guide to planning a private spa day in Birmingham.
