Or, more simply, a trip to the court’s discretely hidden Elemis spa. Sticking two aroma-scented fingers up to stress, this elegant (and newly refurbished) urban day spa may be moments from Oxford St, but it's a million miles away from the madness that sends many high-profiled, stressed-out individuals through its doors. As glamorously otherworldly as it is familiar home-from-home, Elemis spa, with all its handmade sofas and intricate metal wall hangings does ‘touchy-feely’ very well. Dreamily, a Moonlight Suite for couples and friends features, as does a restored Moorish suite and traditional Rasul for luxuriously dirty detoxing on handcrafted heated thrones. For the traditionalists meanwhile, the classic spa menu doesn't disappoint: Aroma stone massages, herbal lavender repair facials and a classic deep tissue all get the proverbial thumbs up. That said, we're also fans of the coconut and milk ritual wrap with dry floatation; the human equivalent of snuggling inside a giant bounty bar and having your feet squeezed. Pleasure personified. /system/photos/0053/4586/Rasul_thumb.jpg 2009-11-05T12:24:36+01:00 London Wellness 534586 Courtesy of Elemis /system/photos/0053/4586/Rasul.jpg 534591 /system/photos/0053/4591/Relaxation-area.jpg
