Embrace World Wellness Weekend

World Wellness Weekend is an annual global celebration that unites individuals in pursuit of better health and well-being. This year’s event promises enriching experiences and activities that enhance physical, mental, and emotional wellness.

An exhilarating thermal experience

Step into our traditional banya-inspired bathhouse, the first of its kind in London, and immerse yourself in the art of Parenie – our signature thermal ritual using leafy bundles of birch, oak, and eucalyptus twigs – designed to rejuvenate your senses and leave you feeling refreshed.
