Central London is known for many things but R&R isn't typically one of them... unless you know where to find AIRE Ancient Baths. Secreted away just minutes from Covent Garden, this exquisite spa experience is an authentic retreat for cleansing rituals, health, wellbeing and relaxation.
The architecture is straight out of Westminster, brimming with heritage and style. Literature lovers will delight in learning that these buildings were once home to Peter Pan author, J.M. Barrie - something to ponder as you go on your spa journey through the cavernous baths.
The AIRE Ancient Baths experience takes you on a thermal journey through seven separate baths under seductive lighting. Then, take time to unwind in Roman style with a tepidarium (36ºc), 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.
With 10 treatment rooms available (including seven dual suites for those wishing to share the experience), signature therapies and rituals are the perfect way to complete a spa day at AIRE Ancient Baths London. For example, we love their floral exfoliation with Himalayan pink salt and Kukui oil, and jasmine and lotus mist.
Masters of detail, AIRE Ancient Baths tailor each spa package with thoughtful finishing touches. That might be a private wine tasting, a glass of Cava, or chocolate truffles. Find the one that tempts you most and have a wonderful time!
