What They Say
“Cloud Twelve is a one-of-a-kind wellness and lifestyle club (for members and visitors) in the heart of Notting Hill, London. Extending over three floors, it offers an indulgent spa, luxury salon and holistic wellness clinic as well as an interactive play and learn zone for families with children – all under one roof for you to enjoy. After all, you deserve to be on Cloud Twelve!”
The Style
The first thing I notice about Cloud Twelve, if not the incredibly personable staff (“We’ll look after you” is exactly the thing I want to hear when walking into a spa!), then it’s the interiors. The entire place has been thought through, from the beautifully carved wooden lockers to the tree-like chandeliers and varying palettes. I feel like I’ve entered an oasis in the middle of an ethereal woodland in the middle of Notting Hill. That said, it’s not in any way kitsch. It’s a sophisticated affair, with bold prints, subtle eastern influences, and glam clientele who look like they’ve just walked off a Vogue shoot.
I didn’t enter the Kid’s Club when I visited (not a kid), but if the rest of the space is anything to go by, I suspect no stone has been left unturned on that floor either.
The Process
As I arrived, I was greeted at the door and welcomed immediately into the spa area.
There’s a sauna, steam room and salt room, separated by glass and beautifully built into itself to create a sort of cave-like effect. There’s also a cold plunge in the form of a grand metal bathtub. Temperatures of ice baths tend to vary, but this one in particular packed quite a punch, even for a more experienced hand.
Just across the way, there’s a relaxation room where you can sit and wait for your treatment whilst enjoying the mint water and healthy snacks provided, or listening to a bespoke guided meditation on headphones, adding something a little extra to the in-between moments.
I was then taken in for my Signature Deep Relief Kloris CBD Oil Massage. As you approach the Cloud Twelve building, a bold sign sits outside saying, “One of the best massages I’ve ever had”. Bold indeed, and the writer in me immediately wants to find fault in that statement. After about 10 minutes had gone by, however, I had to give in; it really was one of the best massages I’d ever had. My masseuse, Ilona, worked her way through tension and managed to loosen muscles I didn’t even realise needed loosening. By the end, I was practically asleep on the bed.
I also tried out the Full Body Near Infrared Light Blanket as part of the Biohacking Lab. I lay there, completely relaxed after my other escapades, and let the light do its good work. The experience is great for skin rejuvenation, boosting collagen and reducing inflammation, and its science-backed benefits will follow you out the door.
Also on the menu is naturopathy, vagus nerve stimulation, hypnotherapy, colonic hydrotherapy, a salon and even an aesthetics clinic, to name a few. Safe to say, I could have spent all day here.
The Results
Cloud Twelve are very much the full package for a modern, holistic spa experience.
Given the vast array of carefully thought-out treatments on offer (I haven’t even scratched the surface), it’s no wonder that it’s becoming a go-to for those in the Notting Hill area searching for an immersive spa day.
