There's a beach in Doncaster - the hidden gem health spa with its own sands
Forget heading to the seaside – did you know Doncaster has its very own beach at a hidden gem health spa?
Lake Y officially opened its doors last summer – but the resort in Auckley is still unknown to many – and offers a range of sporting and wellness activities, including its very own beach.
The resort’s website says: “Set against the tranquil beauty of a South Yorkshire lake, this luxury wellness retreat is a sanctuary for both the adventurous and the serene.
"Glide across open waters on a paddleboard, embrace the freedom of open water swimming, or enjoy the lively, social thrill of a game of padel on our dedicated courts.
"Lace up your shoes and take an invigorating run around our lakeside running track, or restore your balance through yoga sessions and sound baths held in tranquil spaces overlooking the water.
"More than a resort, our health and lifestyle resort is designed to harmonise vitality and calm. Whether you seek renewed energy, deep rest, or a perfect blend of both, here you’ll discover a rhythm that feels entirely your own.
"Find a space where you can slow down, reset, and feel genuinely well. A place to move your body, clear your mind, enjoy yourself, and settle into a sense of ease.”
There’s also a cosy café for those post-swim treats and even luxurious lodges and caravan pitches for staycations.
Lake Y is a private members and guest resort and trial day visits need to be pre-booked in advance. For more details about Lake Y visit the website which can be found at https://www.lake-y.co.uk/
