Some days you’ve just got to treat yourself. So if you ever find yourself in London and you want to treat yourself to a day at the most gorgeous spa ever, you’re in luck. In fact, don’t Google anything else. Just do yourself a favor and book a treatment at ESPA Life at Corinthia.
ESPA Life At Corinthia
The Corinthia Hotel in London is already a gorgeous location to spend any time at. It’s luxurious, classy, and high end. And that feeling extends to ESPA. This spa is more than a place to go to relax and get a massage. It’s really an oasis where you could easily spend the entire day.
About ESPA Life
ESPA Life dubs itself the Next Generation of Spa. You can go there and get a treatment like a massage or facial, use the thermal pools or sauna on the thermal floor, go to the gym and visit the personal trainer, get your hair and nails done at the salon, or drift away in one of the sleep pods.
My Day At The Spa
I checked myself into the spa nearly two and a half hours before my treatment so I could use the facilities and really enjoy them. After checking in at the beautiful reception, I was led to the woman’s changing room. It was so gorgeous. Everything was made of marble and there were more than enough lockers and showers. There was also a sauna, steam room, and relaxation area. And if you felt hungry, there was fruit on hand.
BodySPace
My first stop of the day was the fitness center, BodySPace. There were several cardio machines available as well as free weight areas, rowing machines, and more. Book a session with a personal trainer if you want! And treat yourself to a protein shake when you’re finished!
Thermal Floor
My next stop of the day after I showered off from the gym and spent some time in the sauna in the changing room was the Thermal Floor. This place is stunning. Everything is sleek, black, and shining. The Thermal Floor features a sparkling lap pool, spa, sauna, steam room, and heated relaxation beds. You could spend hours enjoying this floor. The way it’s designed is not only elegant but extremely soothing. It was honestly one of the prettiest rooms I have ever been in.
Before my treatment, I decided to take a little nap in one of the sleep pods. They are located in the changing room and have a comfortable bed, blanket, and pillows. Each room is separated and private! Definitely, visit the sleep pod before or after treatment!
Treatment
Six o’clock rolled around and it was time for my treatment, the 90-minute Mindful Massage. It was so wonderful. My masseuse, Spyridoula, collected me from the changing room and led me to the treatment room. Once inside she explained what the massage would consist of.
The great thing about ESPA Life is that they treat the whole experience as a restorative experience. The treatments are meant to inspire lifestyle changes. Mine included deep breathing exercises, visualization, a foot massage, full body massage, and scalp massage with rose quartz crystals. It left me feeling so relaxed and in a positive space.
At the end of the treatment, Spyridoula spoke to me about it. She said that for the most part, my muscles responded well. My shoulders hold most of my tension and it’s important for me to be mindful of my posture. It was nice to have a conversation afterwards about it and not just leave the room.
All in all, this was a treat and the spa was so gorgeous. If you find yourself in London, book yourself a treatment ASAP.
Travel Colorfully was a welcomed guest of ESPA Life at Corinthia. As always, all opinions are my own.
