Relax to the max: London's best spas
A bath with bling
This is aqua relaxation at it's best.
There's no fixed formula to a spa but it's generally acknowledged that you should expect to get a bit soggy during your spa session. Be it a dip in a pool, a spell in a sauna or steam-room which challenges your very consciousness; or a palpable "aahhhh" as you get into a jacuzzi - what is further expected is that you experience a swift transition into a relaxed state.
Does it get much better?
Well, yes. A spa package frequently offers additional relaxation options to further banish the stresses and strains of modern day life. Maybe a massage, some reiki, aromatherapy, aura cleansing, chocolate massage (oh yes), crystal healing and more.
We've hand-picked the best spas London has to offer - plus you don't have to be Victoria Beckham to partake - we've got something here for all budgets.
