Aman Spa at The Connaught

The Aman spas are found in some of the world’s most prestigious and beautiful hotels, so it didn’t surprise me when I discovered The Connaught was home to the UK’s flagship Aman spa. This hotel already has my heart, thanks to the exemplary restaurants, award-winning bar and second-to-none service, so I was delighted to be visiting this time in a wellness and relaxation capacity.

Despite being located in the very heart of Mayfair, the Aman spa feels completely removed from busy London life. It’s found on the lower ground floor, tucked away from the hotel hubbub, and every part is truly dedicated to total tranquility. Unlike some spas The Aman spa at The Connaught will not overload your senses, the music and scents are kept to a subtle minimum – which allowed me to switch off very quickly surrendering myself to the calming environment.

The treatments are split into three categories… Grounding, Purifying and Nourishing. There are four treatments available within each: Massage, Body Polish, Face Ritual and the Journey – which encompasses all three treatments. There are also specialist options for Pregnancy and Reiki – a gentle and specialist method of healing.

Each treatment begins with a foot ritual, a soothing soak and massage which gently begins your Aman experience. My treatment was nourishing and pampering – a revitalising back scrub exfoliated and refreshing my skin before a massage tailored to address my exact needs. I drifted in and out of sleep as the experienced therapist applied more pressure to the areas of tension, melting away my uncomfortable knots, combined with more gentle strokes to the less aggravated ligaments. The treatment finished with a short facial boost, smoothing the skin and adding essential moisture to my tired face! After 90 minutes in the treatment room I felt completely at ease. The final minutes were spent having the most blissful head massage. I didn’t want it to end…
