Job description

Overview

SPA Manager – Ultra-Luxury Estate Hotel Devon Cornwall border

South West England | Relocation Required | Exceptional Package

Smyth & Co is proud to partner with a rare and extraordinary luxury estate hotel in the South West of England, spanning breathtaking grounds and redefining what modern British hospitality can be.

This is not a spa looking to be good. - This is a spa with the ambition to become the very best in the UK – and a true global benchmark.

We are seeking an exceptional Spa Manager to take full ownership of a flagship spa operation and elevate it onto the world stage.

The Opportunity

Set within a private estate, the spa is a core pillar of the guest experience and has the investment, vision, and creative freedom to rival the world’s most celebrated destinations.

You will lead the spa’s evolution toward Best Luxury Spa status, overseeing every detail—from guest journey and treatment innovation to team culture, revenue performance, and international recognition.

This role offers genuine influence, autonomy, and the chance to create something iconic.

Who We’re Looking For

This role is designed for an elite spa professional with proven five-star, international experience.

You will likely have:

• Senior spa leadership experience in a world-class, ultra-luxury environment
• Background in globally recognised spas (destination, resort, or iconic city properties)
• Deep understanding of luxury wellness trends, holistic therapies, and elevated guest experiences
• Strong commercial acumen alongside an instinctively warm, service-led leadership style
• A passion for excellence, refinement, and continuous innovation

Above all, you are someone who believes a spa can be transformational, not just operational.

Relocation & Package

Relocation to the South West of England is essential—and generously supported.

You can expect:

• A highly competitive salary
• Outstanding benefits and incentives
• The chance to shape a spa with global ambition
• A lifestyle role within one of the UK’s most beautiful regions

Why This Role Is Rare

Opportunities like this simply don’t come around often.

This is a chance to:

• Build a legacy spa
• Work with owners who are serious about excellence
• Join a hotel on a mission to set new standards in British luxury
