GET THE GLOW

We all love the sun, but it can often leave our skin looking dull and dry, so it’s essential to refresh and rejuvenate your complexion with a light exfoliating facial. Even a 30min treatment can brighten up dull skin, and help soften surface lines with dewy hydration. Our Sparistas come to you, and they only use high end products such as Dermalogica, NuSkin or Neals Yard. If you’ve got more time, try one of our 60 or 90 min facials which include steam, mask, massage and anti-aging treatment.

USPAAH Facials starts from £43. Book Now and use code BEACH10 for £10 off your treatment. 

NAIL THE SUN-KISSED LOOK WITH THE PERFECT MANI OR PEDI

Treat your hands and feet to a splash of colour to help your tan stand out even more. And it’s not just about the paint, our Full Spa rituals involve buffing, soaking, scrubbing and tidying up cuticles. Want a longer lasting look? Try our gel polishes which give your nails a glossy shine and last at least two weeks, meaning you won’t have to top up while you’re on holiday. Our Sparistas have a wide selection of colours and they only use high-quality products by Jessica Zen Spa.

ON THE LASH

When it’s hot and the sun is out, swap mascara to avoid trails of black running down your cheeks, for perfect peepers. Opt for eyelash extensions where individual lashes are bound to the lash line for a full wide-eyed look that lasts for four to six weeks, giving your natural lashes length and definition. Our expert beauticians come to you 7am-10pm and only work with a high-end selection of natural looking lashes.

USPAAH Eyelash Extensions starts from £99. Book Now and use code BEACH10 for £10 off your treatment.
