Our thermal spa therapies are at the heart of Spa Experience by Better, providing health benefits that have been enjoyed for thousands of years.
You’ll find the combination of heat followed by cold can help to destress, relieve aches, pains and stiff joints, relax your muscles, detox your skin and aid respiration and blood flow. We offer a wide range of traditional thermal bath spa therapies, including:
HAMMAM
A relaxing heated seating area, the Hammam is the perfect introduction to the thermal spa experience and can also be used as space to enjoy in between experiences.
Not available at Kensington
RELAXATION AREA
An oasis of calm. This quiet sanctuary is a designated area for pure relaxation while taking delight in complimentary infused water and fresh fruit.
Not available at Swiss Cottage
SAUNA
A ‘dry’ heat treatment in a wood-lined room with a temperature reaching 90 C, designed to induce perspiration in order to cleanse the body of impurities.
PLUNGE POOL
It is recommended that you alternate heat treatments with brief immersion in the traditional Plunge Pool. Each dip in the icy pool will improve circulation by cooling the body; this can also improve cardiovascular health.
Not available at Belfast, Epsom, Kensington, Swiss Cottage, Waltham Forest and Welwyn Garden City and Wimbledon
MONSOON SHOWERS
Several jets release scented water, creating contrasting shower experiences. These jets range from a warm tropical downpour to cool water, releasing a fine Scotch mist.
Not available at Swiss Cottage or Welwyn Garden City
ICE FOUNTAIN
The Ice Fountain produces ice flakes to be rubbed on the body which stimulates circulation and facilitates the cooling of the body.
Not available at Epsom, Swiss Cottage and Welwyn Garden City and Waltham Forest
HOT ROOMS (TURKISH BATHS)
Based on a system dating back to Roman times, these hot, dry air rooms vary from moderate to intense heats (you can move from the Tepidarium “warm room”, to the Caldarium “hot room” and Laconium “hottest room”) and are designed to relax the muscles and relieve the pain of rheumatism.
Not available at Belfast, Epsom, Kensington, Swiss Cottage, Waltham Forest and Welwyn Garden City and Wimbledon
HYDROTHERAPY POOL
Multiple jets working on different muscle groups to pummel away any stress and fatigue from the body.
Not available at Old Street and Swiss Cottage
