The Oxfordshire Golf Hotel & Spa – Thame, England

Carved into undulating Chiltern foothills 20 minutes from Oxford, The Oxfordshire marries tour-standard golf to full-scale wellness. Its Rees Jones championship course—past host of European Tour and Ladies European Tour events—threads 18 water-guarded holes around a 46-acre lake; stay-and-play guests fine-tune numbers on a double-ended range and bunker academy before tee-off. Clubhouse steps descend to Tempus Spa where a 15-metre pool, sauna–steam circuit and three treatment suites offer recovery within pitching-wedge distance of the 18th green.

Upstairs, the Health Studio’s Technogym cardio rigs, free-weight racks and mirrored yoga suite keep mileage honest when drizzle rolls across the vale, while reformer-Pilates and evening stretch classes maintain golfer mobility. Hotel bikes map to a 12 km farm-lane loop through bluebell woods, and runners notch tempo sets on gently rolling bridleways flanked by red kites. When hunger calls, Sakura’s open-kitchen grills omega-rich sea-bass fillets while the Lakes Lounge re-hydrates with beetroot-ginger shots. Macro-labelled menus ensure calorie budgeting never sabotages gains. Suites, each with balcony sunsets over fairways, hide blackout curtains, high-speed Wi-Fi and yoga mats for pre-round meditation. From sunrise driving drills to twilight steam-room silence, The Oxfordshire packages countryside calm and data-driven conditioning into one compact Thame address.
