Dove Spa at re-aqua Virgin Active Kensington 3.5 11 reviews

The venue was easy to find within Virgin Active off Kensington High Street, The Spa is not huge But the ambience was good and my therapist was friendly and informative. The treatment included exfoliation, a mud wrap and a facial. It was a lovely relaxing treatment........ and I'd certainly have it again. Also bought some products to take home and try .

This spa is located into a Virgin active gym, which looks really fantastic. The spa is rather small but the ambiance is great and my therapist was excellent. I originally booked a mud wrap: the spa called me three days in advance to inform me that they were out of mud and they offered me to reschedule the treatment or change it. I have decided to change it and I had a full body exfoliation and a great facial. The products they use are excellent (you can buy them there and they are very good value for money) and I would definitely recommend this facility.

I was really disappointed with the treatment I received. I got this bliss pamper package from my children and I was supposed to receive a one and a half hour treatment but I was out of there in less than an hour! The facial was very unsatisfactory, the lady spent most of her time looking at some papers and occasionally putting something on my face and then wiping it away. The massage was ok but short. The final part of the treatment was a mini ‘manicure’ and this was the worst bit of all, she literally applied one coat of nail polish (over my already painted nails!) and sent me on my way…

Several visits to Dove Spas already (Kensington & Mayfair) and I must say that it doesn’t disappoint. I booked a body polish, mud wrap & massage package for £60 in Kensington High St., the treatment was great, the therapist absolutely lovely & helpful (much needed when trawled to the shower covered in mud and wrapped in plastic sheets!). I had mistakenly thought I would access the Virgin Gym too (it was part of a different package booked last year, my fault) but the receptionist offered straightaway to halve the daily cover charge (down to £10) which really made my day and allowed me to use the pool and the free classes (Aquagym & Powerplate are great ones on saturdays). The small restaurants offers a buffet of hot/cold salads for under £7, free internet access in the lounge, chilled atmosphere – what else do you need to relax for a day?

NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING. WOULD 100% GO BACK

I was very happy with every aspect of this spa and plan on returning. The skin analysis and complementary use of machines (high frequency) was wonderful and gave my skin excellent results. I have been to several Dove Spa locations and none of them ever disappoint.

I had an all round pleasant experience and will definitely be returning.

I used a Wahanda voucher to get the "Drift Away" package comprising a body and scalp massage. Fine is the word I'd use to describe the treatment - average room, average therapist, average everything but the MASSIVE bonus is that they let me sneak it and use the pool, jacuzzi, steam etc. which are great. Lucy was the name of my therapist, she was pleasant but didn't really seem to have her heart in it (can't say I would either!). I got a better massage from the water jets, which suited me just fine. I left feeling refreshed and would definitely recommend it as a way to end up having a cheeky spa day with a couple of basic treatments. I also snuck into a meditation class which was a persian type of relaxation with simple exercises, like really easy Pilates really, it was fun to try something new.

Very good experience. Staff were very friendly

It could have been a great experience but the treatment was cold and I remaqined cold during the treatment
