Sunday Spa: Lausanne Palace

Sunday Spa: Lausanne Palace

Booking a spa break in Lausanne Switzerland might be the best retreat you could ask for! With its collection of luxurious spa hotels, spectacular views of Lake Geneva and the snow-capped Alps beyond and proximity to Geneva Airport, it’s hard to find a better spa 

Sunday Spa: The Chelsea Day Spa King’s Road

Sunday Spa: The Chelsea Day Spa King’s Road

I am always in search of ‘The Facials Mecca’: a haven for people (like me) who are slightly addicted to the facials experience; where we will not be judged, mocked or shunned. Just pampered, treated and given aid for those giant pores, fine lines and 

Sunday Spa: The Spa Dolphin Square

Sunday Spa: The Spa Dolphin Square

I’ve never been to Morocco, nor have I ever had a back massage that put me into a deep, dreamy sleep. But at The Spa at Dolphin Square, I experienced both in one blissful hour of exotic relaxation and pampering. Albeit a little difficult to find

Sunday Spa: The Sanctuary Spa, Covent Garden

Just a stone’s throw from the bustling, cobbled streets of Covent Garden, away from the street performers, lively restaurants and aimlessly wandering tourists, there is a haven for women. There is a relaxation retreat and a decadent pampering shelter. There is a Sanctuary. Tucked behind 

Sunday Spa: Carey’s Manor Hotel & SenSpa, New Forest

Sunday Spa: Carey’s Manor Hotel & SenSpa, New Forest

Some of the best spa experiences I have ever had have been in the exotic surrounds of South East Asia, so when I was offered the chance to pay a visit to SenSpa in the New Forest* (part of the luxurious Carey’s Manor Hotel) I 

Escape to the country: Grayshott Spa

Escape to the country: Grayshott Spa

I won’t deny that I am a bit of a country girl. Growing up in a small town that consisted of a post office, a pub and a forest in Ireland meant that it was very likely you’d see me in wellies, mucking out a
