Sense and Sensibility

Six Senses Urban Spa Opens

When the going gets tough, the tough need an escape route — and no, we don’t mean selling up, cashing out and going to live in Belize.

Instead, stressed city workers can retreat to the luxurious Six Senses Spa, which opens in Canary Wharf’s Pan Peninsula building today.

Pressed for time? The Express Retreat will help you unwind in a hurry, with a speedy manicure, pedicure, reflexology or Indian head massage. Or take a long lunch in the Inner Spa Sanctuary and treat yourself to a traditional massage, exfoliation or body wrap.

Alternatively, try the biothermal circuit, which includes a chromotherapy steam cabin followed by a crystal laconium, dry sauna, sensory shower and a dip in the hydrotherapy pool. Prices start at £50 for a back massage or foot acupressure.

Think of it as an investment in your health.

Six Senses Spa, 2 Pan Peninsula Square, E14 9HA (020 7531 2320 or sixsenses.com).
