HOLISTIC RITUALS
Inspired by ancient ayurveda, our holistic rituals are designed with optimum relaxation in mind. For the entirety of the treatment, you’re invited to be still, surrender or sleep while your body is cradled by the warm water mattress, and our holistic therapist takes your wellbeing into her own healing hands.
Each ritual takes place on our heated hydrobed – incorporating steam, a Vichy rain shower, sea salt exfoliation, skin-softening wraps and traditional massage – so you can enjoy an indulgent wet spa experience without having to move a muscle.
Dry Clothed Massage
A short yet effective massage which takes place on our hydrobed while you remain fully clothed. The treatment focuses on three areas where tension is most commonly stored: the head, back of the neck and feet.
Our holistic therapist will stretch your body and target pressure points with massage while you lie still on your back on our warm water mattress. Your therapist will then remove your shoes and socks to cleanse and massage your feet.
This treatment was created for our clients with busy schedules. Available as a 30- or 60-minute massage, it’s short enough to be slotted into your lunchbreak during workdays or to be used as a welcome pause during a day of shopping, so you can return to the rest of your day feeling relaxed, refreshed and relieved from tension.
Cocoon Suite Ritual
A 120-minute ritual inspired by the traditional hammam experience.
Embodying the same calming principles as our cocoon suite, where all of our holistic rituals take place, this treatment invites you to surrender to the warmth of the hydrobed and allow your therapist’s healing hands to take care of your wellbeing.
The ritual begins with a full-body salt scrub exfoliation and mud mask application, followed by a steam bath to infuse the oils and minerals into the skin. While you relax under the steam, your therapist will carry out a sculpting facial using ALBIVA gemmotherapy products, a cool rose gua sha and drainage massage techniques, before applying a clay mask.
Any remaining salts and mask residue are washed away by your therapist who will then towel dry the entire body and carry out a closing massage ritual with a lightweight lotion to seal in moisture.
Revitalising Ritual
A profoundly relaxing 180-minute ritual for the mind and body created for those suffering from stress, illness or insomnia.
For the entirety of this three-hour treatment, you are invited to switch off, sleep and surrender to warmth of the water mattress beneath you. Caring for your entire body, from top to toe, this treatment encompasses a steam bath, chakra shower, full-body massage, facial and blend of scalp massage techniques to boost blood flow and encourage relaxation.
The treatment closes with the practice of shirodhara – an ancient tradition in which warm oil is guided onto the third eye. The constant flow of oil on this area of heightened energy creates a light pressure which draws you into an even deeper state of relaxation.
You will wake from your sleep to the healing soundwaves of Tibetan sound bowls, with a profound sense of relaxation resonating through mind and body.
Moxa
A 30-minute treatment which can be added on to any of our hydrobed treatments at the time of booking.
Moxa, also known as moxibustion, is a treatment used in traditional Chinese medicine to stimulate circulation, promote healing and balance the flow of energy – or qi – in the body. The ritual involves burning dried mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) on or near the skin at acupuncture points.
The treatment is traditionally used to treat a variety of conditions including pain, digestive issues, arthritis, menstrual disorders and infertility. It is believed to strengthen the immune system, improve circulation, encourage tranquillity and improve your overall well-being both during and after your treatment.
