Insider’s Favorite: We curate each treatment to be unique and answer the different needs of our guests. My favorite classics to be enjoyed on any occasion would be our Detoxifying Body Ritual, an Epsom salt scrub and detox massage that is especially perfect before going on holidays. For a glowing complexion all year round, the British Rose Facial with Rose Quartz is a great choice for hydration and its lifting remedies.

Detoxifying Body Ritual (90 minutes / GBP 190)

In the early 17th century, the town of Surrey was known as a spa town. The town gave its name to Epsom salt, as this rich magnesium sulphate ingredient was originally sourced from mineral waters called, Epsom. Experience our Epsom rich body treatment with a magnesium sulphate salt scrub sourced from Epsom, that will help exfoliate the skin and to remove excess toxins from the body. After your private steam shower, a mixture of detox oils with juniper, grapefruit and geranium are used to massage your entire body to help intensify your detoxification results. Improve your sleep, improve muscle tension and reduce inflammation with this pure Epsom experience.

British Rose Facial with Rose Quartz (60 minutes / GBP 155)

This bespoke facial treatment promises a healthy glowing complexion influenced by the healing powers of rose. This tailored facial treatment incorporates rosehip serum, rosewater, rose quartz and unique massage techniques to deliver optimum results. Experience the cooling, soothing, relaxing and toning properties of rosewater and the plumping effects of rosehip on your skin. Rose quartz is the stone of the heart that offers tremendous healing properties to fight inflammation. When combining these four elements together, it maximizes blood flow, removes toxins and actively encourages healthy skin renewal, promoting itself as an effective anti-aging facial.

Guests can spend time in the relaxation lounge before and after their services.
