Who We Are — This Spa Life

THIS SPA LIFE

Reviews of spas by those who know and love spas.

How often have you booked a spa after seeing glowing (ahem, fake…) reviews and well-angled shots only to arrive and find that it’s a total let down from start to finish. We’re talking tiny robes, queues for the sauna, over-priced lunches and crowded changing rooms. Plus, you’ve forked out some serious money for the pleasure.

As spa fanatics we’re fed up of spas that don’t deliver - trust us, we’ve wasted serious amounts of money on experiences and we don’t want you to do the same. That’s why you’ll only find spas on this website that are vetted by the THIS SPA LIFE team to the highest degree (we only feature spas we have been to ourselves) with an inclusive readership in mind. We’ve seen the spas that don’t cater to different religions or body sizes. We’ve visited the spas that have a two-flight stairway entry and no ramp - that’s not ok with us. We believe that you need to know what you’re booking and whether it’s absolutely right for you before you click the ‘pay now’ button.

A little about us:

We’re a team of beauty and lifestyle industry experts and insiders who have a passion for spas, relaxation, self care and mental health. It goes without saying that we are spa obsessed. Literally nothing opens without us knowing about it, and our list of must-visit global spas is gargantuan.

Between us we have over a decade of experience on some of the UK’s biggest fashion magazines spending a considerable amount of time at spas, vetting them and consulting with them on how to improve their services. We’re very aware of the current spa market and how it needs to change to accommodate the wider needs of its clientele and to fully service everyone who needs a little relaxation time away from it all.

So sit back, relax and find the perfect spa break for your needs - all with our own hand-photographed imagery and no holds barred reviews.
