Spa Illuminata in the heart of Mayfair is just as you would expect from a beauty emporium in this luxury postcode: grand décor, experienced staff and out-of-this-world treatments.
Spa Illuminata is in one of London’s most exclusive post codes – hence its bijoux, boutique feel - but is immediately relaxed, welcoming and friendly. Upstairs you’ll find shelves well stocked with some of your favourite beauty brands (Dècleor, Carita, Shishedo etc) and downstairs you’ll discover the ‘Inner Calm Room’ where treatments take place. It’s handy to take a bikini if you’re particularly modest as the spa recommends that you start your spa experience with a steam treatment. My therapist applies purifying and detoxifying salts to my body before I relax in the steam room. Afterwards, I am settled into a dimly lit treatment room onto a very comfortable bed for my Decleor Perfect Legs treatment, £90 for 1 hour. She exfoliates my legs, then massages them from hip to toe – the foot massage is bliss and the therapist’s technique and pressure is perfect. Finally a cooling, revitalising leg gel is applied making this is a great treatment for anyone in a desk bound or standing job, who suffers with tired or restless legs.
