The development will see ishga’s acclaimed product range introduced across all 16 spa properties in the hotel group’s portfolio, including Craxton Wood Hotel & Spa, a relaxing oasis in Cheshire, and the four-star Macdonald Inchyra in Falkirk.
The partnership includes the launch of new ‘Discover ishga’ spa days, available to book from Monday 15 January until Tuesday 30 April 2024.
Each ‘Discover ishga’ experience includes full use of all spa facilities, complimentary use of a spa robe, towel and slippers, a choice of 25-minute body massage or introductory facial treatment, and an exclusive free ishga gift of the brand’s top-selling Anti-oxidant Marine Cream, worth £85. Prices start from £75.
ishga is a multi-award winning, results driven skincare brand which presents a luxurious, organic, vegan option for spa goers.
Macdonald Hotels & Resorts includes a portfolio of upmarket hotels, spas and golf resorts throughout the UK, from Aviemore down to the New Forest, each with its own unique style.
Derived from the Gaelic word for water, ishga harnesses the pure, clean waters of the Hebridean islands to create an organic skincare range like no other. Hand-harvested seaweed forms the essence of the brand’s products, offering natural antioxidants that transform and protect skin.
Dave Heap, leisure and spa director at Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, said: “We’re proud to partner with ishga across our portfolio of spa destinations. Together, we are committed to providing a world-class spa experience for each of our guests, and we look forward to rolling out our new menu of treatments this winter.”
Leon Trayling, co-founder and director at ishga, said: “By working with Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, we can help even more guests to experience the rejuvenating powers of the ocean. Quality and sustainability are values which we share and have built this partnership upon. We look forward to working with Macdonald Hotels & Resorts’ spa teams throughout the UK this winter to share the importance of high-performing, results-driven skincare.”
The ’Discover ishga’ experience is available at the following hotels in Scotland:
Crutherland House, East Kilbride
Crutherland House is framed by mature trees within its own lovely grounds, surrounded by nearly 40 acres of tranquil, unspoiled countryside – yet this 18th century manor house in East Kilbride is only 30 minutes’ drive from Glasgow city centre.
