In January me and my friend went to the ESPA Life at Corinthia. This is no ordinary spa – it is one of the most amazing experiences.
The spa is “spread over four floors, features 17 treatment rooms, a private spa suite, nail studio, indoor swimming pool, vitality pool, amphitheatre sauna, ice fountain, marble heated loungers and private sleep pods”! It is absolutely beautiful and is the epitome of relaxation and indulgence. We went for the City Hideaway Package (£185) which included:
- 25 minute facial
- 25 minute body massage treatment
- Essential manicure or pedicure, plus a file and polish
- Light Lunch in the Spa Lounge with a glass of Laurent-Perrier Champagne or freshly squeezed juice (we had champagne of course!)
- Access to the extensive Thermal Floor
The whole place is amazing and beautifully decorated. I wasn’t really meant to take photos there but I snuck a few in!
The ladies changing room (below) was incredible with these heated marble loungers!

I am not a regular spa goer but after this I can totally see the attraction. We got to the spa about 10.30 and had about 2 hours on the Thermal Floor. The Thermal Floor includes a pool, sauna, jacuzzi and steam room – we tried all of them! Throughout the floor there are huge open shower rooms full of ESPA hair and body products. The pool is stunning and so calming, with lovely loungers on the side where you can sit and chill. The jacuzzi is huge and has all sorts of amazing massaging jets. My favourite was the steam room. I love steam rooms, and this one didn’t disappoint. I made sure I washed my hair and put loads of conditioner in before sitting in the steam room giving my hair a lovely deep treatment!
After the thermal floor we had lunch, which was light and delicious and of course the champagne was perfect!
All the treatments were after lunch, starting with the facial and massage, which you have in a lush treatment room lying on a heated bed! I loved the treatments and the facial was the best I have ever had, it even included a head massage using my now favourite ESPA product – the Pink Hair and Scalp Mud (post on that coming soon!). They used a huge number of ESPA products for the facial and massage – which leave you smelling amazing.
We probably left the spa about 4pm but could have easily spent a few more hours just relaxing in the ladies changing rooms or sleep pods! I wouldn’t hesitate to spend another day there, it was worth every penny and genuinely felt like an experience!
