The House Of Elemis, London, UK

THE VIBE: Five-star fancy.

TOP TREATMENT: Among the streets lined with chauffeur-driven Phantoms in London’s ritzy Mayfair sits this giant store and spa – a three-level extravaganza offering an array of treatments. As with most things in life, we suggest you head straight to the top: The Penthouse is a private area for treatments or casual lounging between your radiance-boosting facial and hot-stone massage. It’s only here that you can enjoy the Poulticepowered Muscle Release treatment, performed on an amber and quartz crystal bed, which will replenish, invigorate and melt away any of the tension you may have built up shopping at Chanel.

INSIDER INTEL: Discretion is high, so don’t expect to bump into them in the hallways, but booking a slot in The Penthouse (bookings are available for full- or half-day sessions and prices are on application) will mean you’re joining a roster of A-list guests including Kate Bosworth, Lara Stone and Alicia Vikander. If you’re looking for a lastminute appointment, they’re less busy on weekday mornings.

BEAUTY ESSENTIAL: Hold onto the sweet scent of your fancy-pants bliss by using Elemis’ body oil on limbs, locks and rubbed into cuticles. TRY Frangipani Monoi Body Oil, $69, Elemis, elemisaustralia.com.au 
