The Profile
The Secret Spa and Glamping sits in a secluded countryside valley near Londonderry, combining overnight glamping with a full spa programme that includes packaged retreats and single treatments. The venue stocks Environ Skincare and Yodeyma fragrances and positions itself as a self-contained stay-and-spa destination for local and regional guests.
The spa centres sensory-led rituals and slow pacing, offering outdoor hot tubs with views towards the Sperrin mountains and treatment sequences that emphasise sight, scent and touch. Therapists provide one-to-one skin consultations before advanced facials and structure sessions to allow breathing space, supporting a deliberately unhurried and restorative visit.
Practical on-site services include a small retail shop and gift-card options and the website publishes an accessibility statement alongside a Book Now function. The address is listed as, Ardground Killaloo which places the retreat within reasonable driving distance of central Londonderry for both day visitors and staycation guests.
Why It Made the List and Why It’s Our Top Pick

That integrated stay-plus-spa model turns a single appointment into a multi-hour immersive wellness break that suits guests seeking an extended restorative experience.
Good to Know
Book via the site’s Book Now page, by the listed phone number or the published email address and consider purchasing a packaged stay if you want both treatment time and overnight accommodation; check the accessibility statement before you travel and confirm arrival instructions when you reserve.

The Profile
Danú Aesthetics is a doctor-led aesthetics clinic in Derry, run by a team that combines medical training with skin therapy. Lead practitioner Dr Conor qualified in medicine at Newcastle University in 2016, spent six years in emergency medicine and holds advanced qualifications in anti-wrinkle treatment, dermal fillers and skin boosters; Dr Ellen, also a medical doctor, is accredited in anti-wrinkle injections and fillers.
The clinic's menu covers anti-wrinkle injections, cheek and lip fillers, Profhilo and Profhilo Structura, SkinPen microneedling, chemical peels, skin boosters including Belotero Revive and polynucleotides, filler dissolving and specialist injections for gummy smile, neck lines, masseter and underarm sweating. Skin therapist Dara handles microneedling, peels and the clinic's own facials, and Ultraceuticals skincare is available in clinic and online.
Why It Made the List
Danú Aesthetics makes the Londonderry list because injectable treatments are carried out by practising doctors rather than beauty therapists, with a properly structured team behind them. The depth of the skin-booster and microneedling menu also sets it apart from clinics that only offer the basics.
Good to Know
Appointments are booked through the Phorest platform via the clinic's website; ask for a consultation first so the doctors can advise on a treatment plan before anything is booked.
The Profile
The Secret Retreat & Spa, which trades online as The Secret Spa NI, sits in the countryside at Killaloo outside Derry, in a valley with views towards the Sperrin Mountains. It is a treatment-led retreat rather than a town-centre salon, with outdoor hot tubs, spa rituals and glamping accommodation for those who want to stay over.
Skincare is a serious part of the offer: the spa is an official Environ stockist and provides skin consultations with Environ-trained experts, backed by a 24-hour helpline. It also stocks Yodeyma fragrances and sells gift cards, and staycation packages bundle treatments with an overnight stay.
Why It Made the List
The Secret Retreat makes the Londonderry list because it offers something the city's clinics and beauty rooms cannot: a rural spa setting with outdoor hot tubs, a recognised skincare house and the option to turn a treatment into a full overnight retreat. The sensory, nature-led approach is a clear point of difference.
Good to Know
Treatments and staycations are booked through the spa's online system, and an Environ skin consultation is worth requesting before a facial so products can be matched to your skin; the setting is rural, so plan on driving.
The Profile
Unique Beautique is a proprietor-led skin salon on the Waterside in Derry that describes its work as natural aesthetics with clinical results. The menu is organised into clinical facials, relaxation facials, lash and brow treatments, therapeutic body solutions, skin revitalisation and blemish removal, reduction and checking, and the owner frames the whole approach as helping clients build a beautiful skin habit through education as much as treatment.
Product choice is specific and published: Ekseption skin-resurfacing skincare, Fusion meso skincare, mixLAB personalised serums and Easy Meso Touch for at-home micro-needling, with everything used or recommended described as vegan-friendly and sourced from environmentally minded companies, the Caviar range being the one stated exception. The signature Unique Ultimate Facial runs to 90 minutes, suits all skin types and builds in extra time for extractions, using a combination of therapies chosen for the least possible trauma to the skin.
Why It Made the List
Unique Beautique earns its place on the Londonderry spa list by sitting between a relaxation spa and a skin clinic: long, unhurried facials on one side, resurfacing and meso-based skincare with blemish checking on the other, all with a named product philosophy rather than a generic menu. The stated commitment to continually up-skilling and to sending clients home with a skincare routine gives the results a longer life than a one-off treatment.
Good to Know
Appointments are booked through Booksy, and the salon recommends high-factor sun protection after the Ultimate Facial, with results lasting up to four weeks and a repeat suggested around every six weeks. The treatment guides on the salon's website are written by Claire Haas, and a newsletter is available for skincare updates.
The Profile
Thermal Garden is a sauna and ice bath wellness space in Derry, built around contrast therapy rather than conventional spa treatments. Guests move between saunas, ice baths and cold plunge pools, with hot showers, a hot tub and a fire-pit area to warm up between rounds.
The recommended rhythm is 10 to 15 minutes in the sauna followed by two to three minutes in the ice bath, repeated as you like within a session. Reviews single out the welcoming owner, the local community feel and a calm, thoughtfully designed setting, and group bookings can be arranged for friends or teams.
Why It Made the List
Thermal Garden makes the Londonderry list because it offers something the city's beauty clinics and hotel spas do not: a dedicated hot-and-cold circuit with real ice baths, run in a communal, no-fuss way. For recovery, stress relief or simply trying contrast therapy for the first time, it is the obvious local option.
Good to Know
Sessions are booked through the Wunderbook app or the links on the venue's social channels, cancellations are refunded in full up to 24 hours before, and you should bring a towel, water and sliders or flip-flops; a robe and sauna hat are optional.
The Profile
ProRecovery is a sports and muscle recovery facility in the Rosemount area of Derry, founded by Michael McDaid after he completed a local Go For It business programme and having used cold therapy himself. It opened in 2021 in the Rosemount factory building and describes itself as the city's first facility to offer full muscle recovery under one roof.
Sessions combine a cryo spa and cold-water ice baths with infrared sauna, hot tub and compression boots, and there are separate changing rooms and a stretch room on site. Clients range from footballers, GAA players, boxers, kickboxers and rugby players to marathon runners, Irish dancers, gym groups, mental health groups and people managing arthritis or sciatica.
Why It Made the List
ProRecovery makes the Londonderry spa list because it brings contrast therapy, sauna and compression recovery, the kind of set-up usually found in professional sports clubs, to the general public in Derry. Its finalist place in the Business of the Year category at the Derry Journal People of the Year Awards 2022 reflects how quickly it has become established.
Good to Know
ProRecovery is listed on Fresha, and there is ample parking at the factory site. First-time visitors should ask which combination of cold, heat and compression suits their goal, as sessions for sports recovery and general wellbeing are put together differently.
The Profile
Skin By Avenue C is a skin-focused treatment business at Templemore Business Park in Derry/Londonderry, built around therapist Ciara McCarron and her work in facials, microneedling and skin health. Its online booking listing has since been renamed CoCa Wellbeing, Day Spa & Salon, and the menu has grown from pure skin treatments into a wider wellbeing offering.
Skin treatments include bespoke and deluxe spa facials, deep-cleansing and lift-and-sculpt facials, dermaplaning, skin peels, microneedling for face and neck, and PDRN skin boosters, with LED light therapy and cryoglobe work used within sessions. The product base is the Pinks Boutique organic skincare range alongside medical-grade serums, and the wider menu now takes in massage, Indian head massage, reiki and hair styling.
Why It Made the List
It made the Londonderry list because it is one of the few places in the city where results-led skin treatments such as microneedling and peels are delivered in a small, therapist-led setting rather than a large clinic. A 5.0 rating across dozens of Booksy reviews, most of them naming Ciara personally, reflects the consistency clients can expect.
Good to Know
Book through Booksy, where the listing now appears as CoCa Wellbeing. Patch tests are required for certain skin types before some treatments and a consultation is recommended first; the premises are listed as wheelchair accessible with parking on site.
