Unique spa experiences you have to try

Treehouse escapes at Chewton Glen, Hampshire

Everything at Chewton Glen is done beautifully, from the 130 acres of grounds and gardens to the award-winning dining, five-star accommodation, and opulent spa complete with a sophisticated pool hall. For a real sense of occasion, however, their treehouse suites are something else. Stay in the creative and contemporary private suites situated in the canopies of ancient trees. Look out across the wooded grounds as you wake. Watch the sun go down from your private balcony, and see deer roaming in the early morning light.

Authentic bathing experiences at The Roseate Villa, Bath

For those looking to do as the Romans did, a bathing experience at The Roseate Villa Bath is a modern twist on an ancient tradition. Stay at The Roseate Villa Bath - a five-star boutique hotel, and have access to the world-famous Thermae Bath Spa close by. Thermae Bath Spa is the best of traditional and contemporary spa experiences combined, located in the midst of a World Heritage Site. The site's thermal springs are believed to have attracted visitors for their healing powers for more than 8,000 years, although it was the Romans who built the Aquae Sulis as a sanctuary of rest and relaxation.

Sauna experiences at Banya No.1 - Hoxton, London

An authentic bathhouse based on a traditional Russian Banya, Banya No.1 - Hoxton is designed to leave you feeling de-stressed and reborn. Rooted in the centuries-old wellness tradition of Nordic thermal cycles, spend your time here on a journey through different heat, ice, and restful experiences. Enjoy the intense heat of the Parnaya steam sauna, especially when a sauna master uses leafy and fragrant bundles of birch, oak, and eucalyptus twigs to manipulate the steam around the room and enhance the experience. Finish up with restorative and flavourful food and drink, like caviar and dark rye bread, alongside traditional kvass and herbal teas to maintain your electrolyte balance.

A water wonderland at AIRE Ancient Baths, London

Just minutes away from Covent Garden, AIRE Ancient Baths London invites you into a world of water-based therapy spanning seven baths in a cavernous thermal suite, inspired by a fusion of Roman, Greek, and Ottoman wellbeing. The seven pools help mind and body to relax in preparation for a treatment, with a series of contrasting temperatures. Move from the tepidarium (36ºC), to the caldarium (40°C) and frigidarium (14ºC and 10ºC). There's a vaporium (or steam room), which is scented with eucalyptus; a balneum, thousand jet baths, and a flotarium where you can quite literally float away.
