Six Senses to open First Spa in UK at Pan Peninsula in London’s Canary Wharf

Six Senses has chosen the Pan Peninsula residential development in the heart of London’s Canary Wharf as the site for the first Six Senses Spa in the UK.

Opening on 2nd February 2009, the Six Senses Spa at Pan Peninsula will give those in London a fresh interpretation of the urban spa, abounding with natural light and with a vast airy terrace. Architectural finishes include the warmth of natural stone and wood, and exotic eco-friendly materials.

The spa occupies a spacious area of more than 7,000 square feet, or 650 square metres, and will offer a comprehensive range of Six Senses Spa signature treatments and rejuvenating Asian-influenced therapies combined with holistic lifestyle guidance. The spa menu ranges from single treatments to half and full day sensory journeys.

In addition to the Six Senses Spa beauty and pampering treatments, a unique urban spa concept has been incorporated into the design to cater for guests who have limited time. The Express Retreat is a circular lounge where treatments such as de-stress reflexology, Indian head massage and spa influenced manicure and pedicure treatments are offered. Tranquility is a separate relaxation room with reclining loungers.

The Inner Spa Sanctuary comprises eight treatment rooms including two for couples, equipped for exfoliations, body wraps and traditional Thai therapies complemented by a luxurious bio-thermal circuit with chromotherapy steam cabin, crystal laconium, traditional dry sauna, sensory shower and a hydrotherapy pool. Treatments are delivered by internationally trained therapists, using naturally derived and ethically produced spa products that endorse the Six Senses commitment to decreasing environmental impact.

The opening of the Six Senses Spa at Pan Peninsula brings the number of Six Senses Spas in Europe to seven, with several more in planning stages.

The Pan Peninsula consists of two interlinking towers standing at 40 and 50 storeys, making it one of the tallest residential buildings in Europe. In addition to the Six Senses Spa, Pan Peninsula’s residents have full access to a state-of-the-art gymnasium and ozone pool, a private cinema showing art-house films and new releases, signature waterside restaurant, a 50th floor cocktail bar, valet parking, concierge and business facilities. Pan Peninsula’s location provides easy access to the Canary Wharf (Jubilee Line) and South Quay (DLR) tube stations, and London’s City Airport, which has routes to 25 international destinations.
