A private penthouse above London is an enticing setting for a spa session. Sæl Spa’s penthouse at Fulham Pier Hotel brings together a sauna, cold plunge and heated hammam beds for its guided Contrast Ritual.
The session combines heat, cold and rest, with the warmth of the hammam beds particularly welcome after the plunge. A guide takes you through the ritual, while private use of the facilities lends the afternoon an intimacy that’s rare in a city spa. There’s pleasure in having the sauna to yourself and somewhere warm to lie back afterwards. The Thames-side address adds another reason to linger in Fulham. Leave time for a walk along the river once you’re ready to step outside again.
