Housed in one of London’s most iconic hotels, expect elegant neutral tones – it’s all Scandi whites and wood – and an epic treatment menu (Penhaglion’s Royal Relaxation Massage is an aroma-filled experience fit for a queen – prices start at £190). There’s no pool but the Jacuzzi, sauna and hammam are more than enough to soak away any stresses. Chase it up with an obligatory signature cocktail in the elegant Amaranto Bar.</p><p><a href="https://www.fourseasons.com/london/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Book here</a></p></div></div></div></div>

No wonder then that treatments are themed around ‘journeys’, from an English Garden through to an African adventure (we recommend nipping off to Indonesia with the Cinq Mondes treatment). Pure escapism.</p><p><a href="https://www.stpancras-spa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Book here</a></p></div></div></div></div>

The traditional candlelit Roman baths offer the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle happening above your head as you immerse yourself in a tranquil water world. Muddy’s pick of the extensive treatment list? The Wine Bath, of course. Submerge yourself in red wine (yes, really) to enjoy the antioxidant benefits of Spanish Tempranillio grapes followed by a 60-min full body massage using grapeseed oil (£450). Utter bliss.</p><p><a href="https://beaire.com/index.php?q=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Book here</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Set over two floors of the iconic London hotel, you can choose from therapies steeped in ancient Chinese medicine, decadent surroundings and Instagram brownie points the minute you step over the threshold. Go for the two-hour English rose-scented massage and walk away reborn. We’re not kidding.</p><p><a href="https://www.mandarinoriental.com/london/hyde-park/luxury-spa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Book here</a></p></div></div></div></div>

It’s small, with only five treatment rooms which only adds to the intimate charm and personalised experience. Big on Malaysian influence, it has everything you need for a luxurious unwind, from modern mandi baths to fruit, nutmeg and ginger infused treatments. Come for the Malay Massage (from £180) and stay all day.</p><p><a href="https://www.ushvani.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Book here</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Then if you’re feeling brave (we&#8217;re not) plunge into cold water for what promises to be the most euphoric rush you can, well, shake a leafy stick at.

The enormous (60ft long) pool is a hidden gem but really it’s all about the Watsu pool – where you can enjoy a form of shiatsu massage that takes place under water heated to 35 degrees.

Dive in to an Oskia Glow Facial (£170) then sip a signature spritz by the water’s edge while taking in the panoramic views of London’s rooftops. Aaaaand exhale.</p><p><a href="https://www.the-berkeley.co.uk/health-club-spa/">Book here</a></p></div></div></div></div>
