THE Waterside Hotel has revealed a spectacular sneak preview of their much anticipated new £3million spa facility.

We reported earlier this year how SimpsInn's plans to transform the top West Kilbride hotel were given the green light.

Computer-generated images offer a first impression of what people can expect to see when The Waterside opens the doors to the new spa and 17 additional guest rooms early next year.

Special features will include six treatment rooms, a four-person Rasul experience, indoor thermal area with sauna and steam room, as well as three experience showers. 

The new spa will also overlook the beach and will have a strong focus on the outdoors with a large hydro pool, outdoor shower, cold bucket, a sheltered firepit and seating area.

Once complete, the major project will create 30 new jobs, including 25 in the spa and an additional five people in housekeeping.

"The proposal would enhance the range of facilities offered at The Waterside Inn thereby diversifying the tourism sector of Seamill/West Kilbride."

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.”

The project is expected to be completed by spring 2025.

The award winning SimpsInns owns several venues across Ayrshire, including the Gailes Hotel and Spa in Irvine, and the Old Loans Inn in Troon.
