...few weeks ago, I felt the need for some serious indulgence and quality ‘me’ time so I booked a visit to The Sanctuary, a ladies-only spa discreetly tucked away in London’s bustling Covent Garden area.
It’s been said that the Sanctuary is ‘an oasis of luxury and tranquillity, where self-indulgence is the only rule’ (ooooh, yes please!), so I thought I’d sacrifice 4 hours of my life to let you, dear reader, know the ins and outs of the joint (er, ... ...DIME:

Advantages: Relaxing, beautiful environment, fabulous treatments, helpful staff Disadvantages: Expensive, can get busy, only available in London
The Sanctuary is, in a word, fabulous. It's a ladies only spa, based in London's Covent Garden.
The spa is located on Floral Street, only a couple of minutes walk away from Covent Garden tube (on the Piccadilly line). It's easy enough to find, as there's a sticky-out sign stuck on the side of the building. There's a shop on the ground floor that sells Sanctuary branded products, and the entrance to the spa itself is at the back of the shop. If the ... ...stand in there and open the door for you to get in!
So, climbing the stairs to the main entrance and "check in" for the spa, the first thing that hits you is how warm the place is - understandable, given that you'll be spending the day wandering round in an (optional) swimming costume or bikini. Then, it's the smell. I don't know what it is that The Sanctuary use in their products that gives them such a distinctive smell, but I love it, which is ...

Advantages: Pampering and relaxation Disadvantages: So expensive
...given a gift voucher for the One-Day ‘Sanctuary Day Spa’, costing £60. Membership ranges from a one-day entry to unlimited year-round use. Even without my free entrance fee, I still had to cough up almost £100 at the end of the day. Because once you add in the price of your lunch and any treatments you decide to have it, it all adds up very quickly! ABOUT THE SANCTUARY
Sorry men, but the Sanctuary is a women-only spa, situated in Covent Garden, ... ...you can buy all of the Sanctuary products. On weekdays, it is open from 9.30am to 6.00pm and on Saturday until 8.00pm. You should call before your visit if you want to book treatments because they fill up quickly and when I was there, I saw a few disappointed people.
When I went towards the end of 2002, it had recently been redecorated. The décor is very stylish, particularly downstairs by the Koi Carp Lounge and Atrium Pool. FACILITIES

Advantages: This is for women only Disadvantages: Too expensive to afford regularly
...spent an entire day at The Sanctuary in Covent Garden and would crawl across broken glass for another chance.
This was a birthday present from my family to help cushion the blow of hitting middle-age head on.
The building itself is tucked away in the street behind Covent Garden Underground Station (pretty sure it's Floral Street) and is fantastically deceptive. You walk into the reception-cum-shop area (you know, like they do for kiddies by putting ... ...and then shown through to the community changing room with a luxurious bathrobe and clear bag to put any goodies in you might feel you need with you (book, magazines etc). Lockers are provided for your clothes, and having changed into my swimming cossie, I strode off to my Jasmine waiting area for my massage.
I had half an hour's massage on my back and neck (you have a choice of which area to have worked on) with almond oil. It was heaven. I've ...
