From floating sound baths in Mayfair to IV infusions in the Algarve, the wellness world continues to evolve at pace. Stylish Spy rounds up the latest spa openings and trends as we head into spring.
Mandarin Oriental Mayfair partners with The Yoga Class
Mayfair’s most polished address has partnered with The Yoga Class to introduce private yoga and Pilates sessions alongside immersive day retreats. New floating sound bath experiences add a meditative twist, inviting guests to drift into deep relaxation in serene aquatic surroundings. Urban wellness, elevated.
IV Therapy launches in Portugal
Serenity – The Art of Well Being ushers in a new era with intravenous therapy by Drip IV Portugal. Available to guests and day visitors at Pine Cliffs Resort (pictured above), Hyatt Regency Lisbon and the Sheraton Cascais Resort, treatments deliver targeted blends of fluids, vitamins and nutrients directly into the bloodstream — a clinical-meets-luxury boost for energy, immunity and recovery.
A world-first for Regent Bali Canggu
IHG’s newly unveiled Regent Spa concept makes its global debut in Bali. Set between ocean and rice terraces, Regent Spa & Wellness blends Indonesian healing traditions with contemporary restorative science. The result? A sensorial sanctuary designed to lift guests above the noise of modern life. Rose petal-strewn bath anyone?
Membership unveiled at The Grand Hotel Brighton
The newly launched L.RAPHAEL Beauty Spa & Wellness at the Grand Hotel Brighton introduces an annual membership this month, granting access to the thermal suite and gym, plus exclusive events and preferential rates across treatments, dining and overnight stays – a polished new playground for Brighton locals seeking everyday indulgence? We think so.
Seaside serenity launches at Polurrian on the Lizard, Cornwall
Cornwall’s clifftop hideaway expands its wellness offering in time for the spring season, with new spa facilities and a sauna set on a stretch of pristine private beach. Expect bracing sea air, elemental heat and uninterrupted Atlantic views — nature at its best.
Dark retreats: wellness’s boldest reset
And finally, the trend turning heads this month: dark retreats. Polish-based darkness retreat company Within offers extended periods in complete darkness, disconnecting from visual stimulation to recalibrate circadian rhythms, heighten introspection and deepen meditation. Radical? Certainly. But in an age of relentless stimulation, total darkness may just be the ultimate luxury.
