Cloud Twelve
Hidden down a picturesque mews in Notting Hill is London’s latest – and arguably most Instagrammable - wellness centre. Spread over three floors, the space offers everything from acupuncture to cryotherapy. For couples with children, the kids play area and crèche on the first floor should solve any Valentine’s Day babysitting problems you might have.
To celebrate February 14th Cloud Twelve has earmarked its couples suite, which is kitted out with Dolomites quartz beds, for all the lovers out there. As part of the package, choose one 60-minute treatment (pick from an aromatherapy massage, ayurvedic massage and two different types of facial), and then one 30-minute express treatment (either a facial or a back, neck and shoulder massage). You and your SO will also get full use of the thermal suite, which includes a steam room, sauna and Himalayan salt room – when we went along we had the whole suite to ourselves. Once you’re thoroughly giddy with relaxation head to the brasserie where you’ll be treated to a plant-based two-course lunch. They’ll also throw in a glass of wine. You’ll be sent home with a goody bag containing a chocolate brownie, Comfort Zone scented candle and a specially made herbal love potion.
