Casa Spa

Looking for a hidden gem in London? it’s definitely this place!
If you’ve never been to a Turkish Hamam before, you will love this experience, it is very different to anything you may have experienced before. It is a very personal, special experience that heightens your senses in every way and relaxes every part of you.
You start the experience by entering a steam room, the room has lovely ceramic tiles all the way around the room giving it a wonderful authentic feel. There are relaxing coloured spotlights that change in the dark while you are enjoying the steam around you. After your pores have opened a lady comes in and rubs you down with authentic olive soap (jelly like). Once you have been soaped down you are left in the steam room to relax further, after about 10 mins, she comes back and throws cold water on you (hah that really wakes you up!). After the shock of the cold water, you have a quick shower and then you are back in the steam room until the lady comes back with a beautiful smelling clove scrub.
Once you are scrubbed off, showered and wrapped in a towel, you are taken to this lounge type area, with low lights, you are free to lie down and relax for as long as you like, while they bring you fruit and tea.
Your body feels so relaxed after, it’s very easy to fall asleep after. The staff is incredibly friendly and the service was fantastic. I had had a similar treatment in Turkey, but I did not find it relaxing at all. This really took out all the stresses of the week.
Note: men and women are in the steam room together (not that I could see anything due to the steam).
If you are going to go, you can take your own bath towel and smaller towel or you can hire the towels for £2.50.
I am looking forward to my next visit and highly recommend escaping from the craziness of London to come here for a couple of hours.

What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday afternoon with girlfriends!
What is unique about Casa Spa Vs many other «stark-white-shhh!-Spas» is that you feel truly welcome and comfortable throughout your stay. You can chat, laugh and actually spend time with your friends as opposed to being split out into other little rooms and only joining back up at the end. It is by no means a raucous affair, but it is fun to enjoy the pampering and freezing cold splash in the hamman together.
The women who run the spa are very courteous and really do enjoy treating others. It’s a little wacky in places, but very clean and they obviously take their bookings process very seriously so you don’t feel crowded or really share the space with others.
The price is also a major plus. For 65 we enjoyed two hours of treatments, topped off with some fresh fruit. An absolute bargain compared to other spas in central London where one massage would be 90 plus.
If you have a couple of girlfriends who are in need of some TLC, or a small hen’s party then this place would be perfect!
Warning: Skin will be baby smooth and you will not be able to stop bfriend touching it! ;)

I took my girlfriend to Casa for a Couples treatment involving Hamam, hair masks and foot rubs. We were given mint tea when we arrived and chatted to Helen, who is very friendly and chatty.
When we went downstairs to the treatment rooms, we were greeted with a lovely Phillipino girl and lots of candles. We had the place to ourselves, (it’s not a massive place so it still felt cosy) and after we’d got changed we went straight int0o the steam room where we relaxed for about 10 minutes before being splashed with cold water (which we needed badly!)
Our host rubbed us down with abrasive gloves and we saw all the dead skin come off (yuk). She was very thorough, and also got us pretty naked (a tip — guys don’t take a girl there if you think she’ll be embarrassed at this point!)
Then we had this mud and paste put on, some honey stuff in our hair and then another 5 minutes in the steam. Then we had a shower and washed it all off.
Then we lay down on some comfy cushions and ate fruit salad and sweets, had more tea and chatted as the host treated our feet.
Then she left us alone and we chilled out for about another 10 or 15 minutes before getting dressed again and heading back.
It was a great experience and one that I would definitely recommend!

A wonderful place to unwind, beautiful setting, soothing and unobtrusive. Ladies Spa Day is perfect for unwinding after a hard week. I’d recommend it to anyone. Price is not cheap, nearly £190 for a day’s treatment, but you do get what you pay for in London. I tried the Porchester Centre but would not go there again in spite of a delicious massage due to the lack of cleanliness and noise from large groups of girls with 2 for 1 discount vouchers, half of whom are speaking on mobile phones! Casa Spa is refreshing, tranquil and doesn’t attract punters looking for the cheapest route to spa treatments. Recommended.
