Living in London can be hectic with its crowded streets, noisy taxis, and always-overheated subway. Amid this chaos, finding a peaceful retreat might seem impossible. However, the founders of Aromatherapy Associates seem to have anticipated this need perfectly. They’ve opened a spa and store in Knightsbridge, close to Harrods and Harvey Nichols, to help city dwellers de-stress and rejuvenate through aromatherapy.
At the Aromatherapy Associates Boutique and Treatment Rooms, you’ll find a range of bath and shower oils, body oils, creams, skincare products, and gift collections. The boutique features an ingredients bar where you can sample products chosen by expert aromatherapists or create your own custom blends.
Downstairs, the treatment rooms offer a variety of deeply relaxing therapies. These include the well-known “Age Repair Facial,” “Essential Rose Facial,” “Ultimate Aromatherapy Experience,” and “Sleep Deeply.” The standout treatment is the exclusive “City Stress Buster,” designed to quickly relieve stress and enhance relaxation through the use of signature oils. After your treatment, you can unwind in the relaxation area with fresh fruit, nuts, hot chocolate, green tea, and delicious macaroons.
A 60-minute session costs £90, a small price for a significant dose of relaxation.
