Torquay gives a spa break somewhere to go when you leave the treatment room. The sea is below the hotel, the harbour and coast are close enough for a walk, and the bay changes with the weather. At The Imperial Torquay, the spa, bedrooms and Regatta Restaurant sit within one Victorian hotel overlooking Torbay, so a night away can move between treatment, pool, dinner and coast without becoming a complicated itinerary.
Several current packages cover different levels of treatment and dining. The right choice depends less on the longest list of inclusions than on how much of the stay you want to spend in the spa.
Pool, Sauna
The hotel’s leisure facilities include an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and gym. Robes, slippers and towels are included within the current spa-break packages. Access arrangements differ for ordinary hotel rates, and residents who are not on a spa package may need to purchase a leisure pass.
A facility list does not explain the whole experience. Ask about opening hours, any adult-only periods, treatment availability and whether the outdoor terrace is open during the intended stay. Guests must currently be at least 16 for the spa-break treatments listed in the main packages.
Add the Coast
An English Riviera spa break has an advantage over a hotel that is entirely inward-looking. A short walk towards the harbour or along the coast can sit naturally between arrival and treatment, or after breakfast the next morning. It does not need to become a full sightseeing schedule.
Sea air and a treatment can be an effective pairing, but the Devon coast is exposed in poor weather. Pack for the season rather than the image in the brochure. When rain settles in, the pool, lounge and restaurant give the hotel enough depth to carry the day.
Choose a Room
The Imperial has 152 rooms and suites, and not every category carries the same outlook. Deluxe rooms may offer sea views, balconies or terraces, while other rooms prioritise space or value. Guests booking specifically for Torbay views should select a clearly described sea-view category rather than assuming the hotel’s position guarantees the same aspect from every window.
A balcony or terrace can add a great deal in warmer months. In winter, a larger room and a clear sea view may matter more than outside space. Review the live room description and ask reservations if the outlook is central to the break.
Current options include Restorative Spa Break, Great Escape Spa Break and Relax & Restore, with different treatment lengths and dining inclusions. Check the live offer pages for current terms.
Current spa packages include use of the indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and associated spa facilities, with robes, slippers and towels.
No. The hotel has several room categories. Book a room explicitly described as sea view, balcony or terrace if the outlook is important.
Yes. Treatment reservations should be made at the same time as the room, particularly for weekends and fixed-date stays.
