This extra-special shared ritual is made possible by our opulent copper tub in a treatment room dedicated to those who like to enjoy spa time together. To begin your experience, you are left to bathe in privacy and peace with two glasses of fizz (or non-alcoholic substitutes); the organic, magnesium-rich salts in the water will detoxify muscles, drawing out any tension-causing aches and pains.
Then, side-by-side, it’s time for a back, neck and shoulder massage. After that, the choice is yours between a eucalyptus-infused foot massage or a deeply relaxing bespoke facial, both of which finish with a dreamy scalp massage.
Treatment for Two
A deeply soothing full-body massage for two.
Our massage therapists are highly skilled. They focus their experience, passion and healing hands on making a genuine difference to your muscular comfort and sense of wellbeing.
