As connoisseurs of luxury experiences, the Luxury Wanderings team had the pleasure of visiting the Bulgari Spa London, a hidden gem beneath the Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge. This serene, subterranean escape blends Italian craftsmanship with British refinement, offering an unparalleled wellness experience.
The Atmosphere and Design
From the moment we stepped inside, the spa’s tranquil ambiance set the tone for a deeply relaxing experience. Designed by ACPV Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, the interiors feature onyx, oak, and Vicenza stone, creating a sophisticated yet inviting space.
At the heart of the spa is its 25-metre colonnaded swimming pool, a stunning centrepiece lined with green and gold mosaic tiles. Elegant loungers and cabanas surround the pool, making it a perfect place to unwind. For a more immersive experience, the gold-tiled vitality pool — inspired by the Byzantine mosaics of Venice and Ravenna — offers full-body massage jets, adding an extra layer of relaxation.
For those seeking total privacy, the Private Onyx Spa Suite provides an exclusive sanctuary with its own steam room, a large Hydro massage Tub, and a dedicated treatment space.
