The Top 12 Spas in London
The best spas in London, by the professional record: Vogue and Forbes Travel Guide have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Asaya Spa comes out on top.
Claridge's Spa and Raffles Spa hold the next two places. Forbes Travel Guide and Vogue show up on more of this list than any other guide.
-
Buried beneath The Chancery Rosewood in Mayfair, Asaya is a 12,000-square-foot subterranean spa occupying what was once the American embassy, which is a sentence you don't get to write very often. The only full-length pool in the neighborhood anchors the space, and the whole thing has the hush and scale of somewhere that takes recovery seriously. Vogue named it among the 100 best spas in the world.
-
Seven years in the planning and tucked beneath one of Mayfair's grandest addresses, Claridge's Spa is a subterranean wellness retreat that takes the hotel's taste for quiet excess seriously. The treatments lean progressive rather than purely traditional, and the setting does what the postcode demands. Vogue named it among the 100 best spas in the world, which is roughly what you'd expect from a place that apparently needed seven years to get right.
-
A vintage lift carries you down into a subterranean spa that spans four floors beneath the Raffles London at The OWO, all pale wood, earth tones, and ceilings carved with floral motifs. The 20-meter pool, sauna, steam rooms, and a genuinely dark relaxation room give stressed Londoners somewhere to disappear for an afternoon. Vogue named it among the 100 best spas in the world, which tracks when you consider the scale.
-
Six Senses built its name on remote jungle retreats, so opening a spa in Bayswater is a bit of a plot twist. The London outpost pairs traditional holistic treatments with a longevity clinic and biometric gadgetry that appeals to the wellness-obsessed who've already done the Maldives. Vogue named it one of the 100 Best Spas in the World, which makes perfect sense given how much ground it covers under one Notting Hill-adjacent roof.
-
A spa in Belgravia that talks about "healthspan" with a straight face and somehow pulls it off. Surrenne is a luxury wellness club built around longevity science, the kind of place where the gadgets are serious and the doctors are even more so. It sits on Vogue's list of the world's top spas, which will surprise no one who's seen the postcode. Come for the treatments, stay because your telomeres apparently demanded it.
-
The Lanesborough Spa sits inside one of London's more quietly serious private members' clubs, and the pool alone makes a compelling case for membership. It's a full-service luxury spa offering everything from massages and reflexology to injectables, and the team includes dermatologist Timm Golueke, whose Royal Fern practice operates here. Vogue lists it among the 100 best spas in the world, which tracks with the postcode.
