Indulgence Redefined: Exploring the Tranquil Oasis of Gleneagles Spa – A Review
After anticipating a spa visit at The Gleneagles Townhouse in Edinburgh, a surprise unfolded when I arrived with a gift voucher only to discover the spa access was exclusively for residents, leading to a redirected spa day experience at OneSpa Edinburgh instead.
Serene Indulgence at The Savoy Hotel London: A Luxurious Spa, Beauty, and Fitness Oasis - Unveiling the Ultimate Relaxation During an Incredible Weekend Stay
Having booked to stay at The Savoy in London for our anniversary weekend, I went on to book extras like spa appointments, dinner, bar reservations and a champagne high tea in the Thames Foyer. ‘Mrs’ The Private Traveller can sometimes be a bit odd about too much spa, so I have to be selective on treatments for him - while I would always look for the longest possible option, I need to select a shorter treatment so that he doesn’t get bored by it. I’ve still yet to find what would be a ‘too long’ massage time for me.
Thai Square Spa: A Tranquil Oasis in the Heart of London
I do love a traditional Thai massage, so when I had the chance to go and review the Thai Square Spa, just off London’s Trafalgar Square, I jumped at the chance. Although Thai Square Spa has been operating since 2010 (formerly in Covent Garden) it moved to this new site in Northumberland Street in 2016. There’s a large entrance off the street with a welcome desk, seating and a retail store; with all the treatments and therapies on the level below. I understand it used to be a Turkish bath, and the wet area below has been refurbished to the now Sen Space add-on for treatments.
The Ultimate Relaxation: Exploring the Beaumont Spa at Beaumont Hotel, London
Stepping into The Beaumont Spa is like entering a realm where time slows, stress dissipates, and pure relaxation takes centre stage. Nestled within the enchanting Art Deco Beaumont Hotel in Mayfair, in the heart of London, this spa beckons guests with promises of tranquillity, opulence, and rejuvenation. In this blog, I explain my sensory journey through the Agatha Christie Poirot like world of The Beaumont Spa, where every detail has been meticulously curated to transport you into a realm of unparalleled luxury and indulgence.
The Alpine Spa at the Bürgenstock Resort Review - A Luxury World Class Swiss Spa with a Difference.
Do you love a fantastic luxury spa? If so, read on to hear all about the Bürgenstock Resort Alpine Spa over Lake Lucerne, Switzerland.
I love all things spa related and like to find and research some of the best spas in the UK, Europe and throughout the world. From first seeing the stunning images of Bürgenstock online, I knew this was somewhere I had to visit and I recently had the opportunity to take a 4-day 3-night trip there. I’ve already posted my itinerary details which you can find here and also my hotel review of the absolutely incredible Bürgenstock hotel, where I stayed in their Heritage wing. Find that review here. As well as this review of the resort’s Alpine Spa, I will also separately be reviewing the treatments and facilities at the resort’s other main hotel and spa, the Waldhotel.
Luxury Spa Review: Our Trip to the Puri Spa in Chile
After years of exploring spa days around the globe, I've finally landed in the heart of Chile, a country renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and luxurious retreats. In my latest spa review, I delve deep into the Puri Spa in the Nayara Alto Atacama Desert Lodge. This Chile hotel offers more than just a place to rest—it promises the spa breaks that luxury travelers dream of. From the comfortable and relaxing facilities to the rejuvenating spa treatments, every moment here is one worth treasuring.
Rejuvenation Oasis: Exploring The Retreat at The Londoner - A Super-Boutique Spa Review in London
The Londoner has been on my go-to list since I knew it was opening, so we booked as soon as we could travel to London. It certainly did not disappoint. The hotel (super-boutique as it’s described) is a wonderful collection of different spaces, and a real focus for me was The Retreat.
Indulge in Bliss: Exploring the Auriga Spa Experience at Capella Ubud, Bali
I’ve had Capella Ubud on my go-to list for some time, having seen it featured when it opened first back in 2018 and having been aware of Capella Hotels & Resorts previously. We originally booked in September 2019 for travel a year later, but with all the Covid restrictions and implications we’ve only managed to get there in September 2022, some three years on.
Revitalizing Retreat: Exploring Chablé Maroma, Mexico's Paradigm of Wellness
Having had to rearrange a trip to Palm Springs in California USA due to Covid, we decided to rebook for Modernism Week in 2022 but wanted to have a relaxing vacation somewhere else first. We therefore decided to opt for Mexico for two weeks, and I settled on a three-centre trip across Puebla (a UNESCO world heritage site) outside of Mexico City, then two Chablé Hotels on the Yucatan Peninsula.
Revitalize & Relax: Unveiling Raffles Spa, Seychelles (Praslin)
With not travelling as much during Covid-lockdowns and restrictions on spa treatments, reviews have been light on the ground to now. Thankfully with the ability to travel to the Seychelles for Christmas we’ve been able to get away long-haul and be able to spend Christmas far from UK weather and the get-together restrictions.
Pampered Bliss: Exploring The Villa Spa Experience at Hotel Villa Dubrovnik, Croatia
This is my first ever dedicated spa review - if you’ve read any of my hotel reviews you will know that I’m a huge fan of a spa treatment and invariably will also try out some in any hotel we stay with a spa.
