Nestled within the bustling heart of London, Lush Spa on Oxford Street offers an unexpected escape into serenity. Known for its unique, multi-sensory experiences, the spa blends expertly curated treatments with immersive soundscapes to create something truly special.
I booked in The Highlands, a 60-minute full-body hot stone massage that was as much a journey of the senses as it was a physical reset. The experience began with a intimate stone consultation, inspired by tarot readings, designed to help guests reconnect with their inner wellbeing. Presented with an array of stones, each representing different aspirations, I selected peace, aligning with my desire for calm and balance in the future.
The treatment itself was deeply restorative. Warm stones were placed along my body, their heat melting away tension, while skilled hands worked in harmony to ease any built up tension from the week. This firm, hot stone massage focuses on deeply soothing muscles while experiencing the richness of Scottish geology, both spiritually and physically. The massage was synchronised with a specially recorded folk soundtrack, created by Highlander musicians, featuring hauntingly beautiful Scottish Gaelic lyrics. This music, woven seamlessly into the experience, transported me to the misty landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, heightening the sense of relaxation and reconnection.
What sets Lush Spa apart is its commitment to storytelling and personalization. Every detail, from the carefully selected soundtrack to the thoughtful stone consultation, is designed to make the treatment feel deeply meaningful. My therapist was warm, intuitive, and ensure that every moment of the experience feels tailored to your needs.
The Highlands offers an escape into a world of warmth, music, and deep personal reflection. Lush Spa, with its signature approach to holistic wellness, proves that relaxation is not just about the body—it’s about the mind and soul, too.
