Finally London boasts a Guerlain Spa, which takes centre stage in the newly opened Raffles At The OWO hotel on London’s Whitehall. Unsurprisingly, it brings a serious touch of French elegance to this iconic English setting. Spanning four luxurious levels, there’s a range of luxurious treatments that take place in nine opulent treatment suites, a relaxation lounge, vitality pool, sauna, steam and experience showers, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day in the city. There’s also elite training provided by performance coach Harry Jameson and the renowned Pillar Wellbeing team and nutritious food and drink from the Pillar Kitchen & Juice Bar. But the crown jewel of this wellness hub is undoubtedly the 20-meter indoor swimming pool: set amidst opulent interiors, each lap feels like a dive into an era of bygone luxury. Book for yourself or gift a loved one and this will be a spa visit you’ll never forget.

If you find it difficult to book in for beauty treatments while looking after your little ones, we’d suggest a visit to Cloud Twelve in Notting Hill. This family-friendly space allows you to enjoy a visit to their hair and nail salon, comprehensive wellness clinic and indulgent spa while your children will be cared for at the Kids Club, which features a crèche and play zone and even offers classes.

The world of wellness is always evolving at a dizzying pace, which is what makes AIRE – an underground sanctuary inspired by the baths of ancient Rome – so special. Relax in one of seven pools set at seven different temperatures or head to their peppermint-scented steam room, then enjoy one of their many relaxing body treatments to round out the luxurious experience. 

One of London’s most distinguished hotels opened its first ever spa last year – and befitting Claridge’s five star status, it’s seriously luxurious. The space boasts a Japanese-inspired feel, including a cherry blossom artwork by Damien Hirst and kimonos in lieu of traditional bathrobes. The treatment menu reads like the who’s who of top London beauty: a Josh Wood hair salon, acupuncture by Ross J. Barr and manicures courtesy of Harriet Westmoreland as well as FaceGym and Augustinus Bader facials.

If you’re looking for a one-stop-shop offering the latest in holistic therapies and wellness, head to Repose Space on Kensington High Street. The studio houses a wide range of biohacking treatments, like cryotherapy and inflammation-suppressing photobiomodulation, as well facials, full-body therapies and anti-gravity fitness classes. Be sure to also pay a visit to the Repose Bar for a delicious (and wellness-boosting) treat.
