Saltmoore

About Saltmoore

Saltmoore occupies a private estate at Sandsend, a few miles up the coast from Whitby, where the North York Moors meet the North Sea. Formerly known as Raithwaite Estate, the hotel was reimagined and relaunched under its current name, with 72 bedrooms and suites spread across grand principal rooms and more contemporary buildings within the grounds.

At the centre of the estate is The Sanctuary, a spa built around wellness and slow living, with an indoor pool, treatment rooms and grounds landscaped around a natural lake. Dining spans several venues, from the main house restaurant to a casual pizzeria and a brasserie, all built around seasonal, coastal and moorland produce.

Guests use Saltmoore as a base for both relaxation and exploring the coast: Sandsend's beach is a short walk away, Whitby itself is a few minutes by car, and the surrounding moors offer walking and cycling directly from the estate gates. It suits couples and groups looking for a spa-led break rather than a harbourside town centre stay.
