Come to Bath for a memorable experience with your partner…
We are so honoured to say that a lot of our couples travel from afar for their Couples Boudoir photoshoot with us, and what with Bath being the beautiful destination that it is, it’s a great idea to make a night, or trip, of it! Bring your partner for a memorable romantic getaway, and celebrate your relationship, and each other, in a Divas Photographic Experience at the same time…
Bath is a gorgeous, peaceful place to be - not to mention a World Heritage Site. It is rich with history, with incredible Georgian architecture, and there are so many amazing places to eat and drink. You could go from soaking up the serenity at one of the town’s brilliant spas, enjoying a show at the vibrant Theatre Royal, sipping cocktails in one of the many awesome bars, to viewing the sights of the Bath Abbey or the Roman Baths… all against a golden, elegant backdrop.
Bath, and the studio itself, is all easily reachable from Bristol, London, Wales and further afar and the city prides itself on having some of the best hotels, and B&B’s that you’ll find in the UK.
To make your trip to Bath easy, we’ve put all our recommended accommodation in one blog. All of these suggestions come from personal experience, either from ourselves or from one of our couples staying there in the past! Enjoy!
Mandy and Harry’s Story - ‘We have such a beautiful relationship. I loves her honesty and the fun we have together. Mandy has stuck by me every second. This experience meant a lot to me; that I had a chance to show her the love I have for her. Our album is amazing.” Want to see more photos from Couples Experiences? Click here.
Kim and Blair’s story - “We wanted to celebrate each other. Blair is just wonderful… we met just over a year ago on our first day at work, I moved to South Wales and we both started on the same day. He’s kind and caring, he has the most beautiful soul and I feel like I’ve known him my whole life. I have never felt so adored in my whole life, and I wanted to capture that - for Blair, and myself. Thank you to everything Divine Divas.” Want to see more photos from Couples Experiences? Click here.

This is less of a luxury option, but it is popular with our Divas for a reason! It is so conveniently located in the centre of Bath and 5 minutes away from a car park.

Where to Stay Just Outside Bath City Centre
Homewood £££
If you’re looking for luxury and beautiful service, then you’ll love Homewood (as well as Divine Divas!!). As their website says ‘just outside of Bath, this Georgian estate has gone scandalously modern, with a clutch of individually designed rooms, a mod-British restaurant and a spa of its own (in case the 20-minute journey to the Roman baths is too taxing). You’ll feel like the lord or lady of the manor; corsets optional.’ And that about sums it up! A gorgeous, luxury (and pet friendly stay!). You can enjoy their swimming pool and a private hot tub. Perfect for Divas who want a romantic couple with their loved one!

Babbington House £££
“The country cousin of media hangout Soho House” - this is a beautiful option in rolling Somerset surroundings. It has a relaxed but totally luxurious and attentive feel. They have everything you could ever want - think gardens, a gym, a library, a 45-seat cinema, a spa, views to a lake, an outdoor infinity pool… A brilliant space to relax before your Divas experience.
Distance From The Studio
30 min drive (it’s 1.5 hours from public transport, so better if you have a car!)
This is about a mile from the studio, and two miles from the centre. A great option for any outdoorsy Divas and a fun stay with kids, or as a couple. They have a Bar and Bistro on site, as well as a gym. They self-describe themselves as a ‘peaceful oasis’ and are great if you’re looking for a bit more space than a hotel can offer, or if you want a self-catered option.

Jay and Andrew’s story -“We truly believe that Divine Divas saved our marriage. The first time I came in for my shoot, we had separated. I'd lost all my confidence as my marriage had fallen apart. What with us both working, looking after three kids, looking after our family, dealing with day to day life etc… We spent no real time together and over time it just fizzled to nothing. So when I turned up for my shoot I was so nervous. I felt as though I wasn't desirable (which my husband had never said, I just didn't believe his positive comments anymore). Then I saw the photos. I just couldn't believe them. They were elegant, beautiful works of art. I was shocked. Although we weren't a couple any longer I showed Andrew. To which he stated 'Well, of course they're stunning. You've always been beyond words to me.' With that, things changed. A few months later we did a couples shoot. A year after that we renewed our wedding vows. Granted it has taken a lot of work, but we do feel that Divine Divas helped us to see that our relationship is just as important as everything else going on.”
