Top Places To Relax with Sound Healing in London

30th October 2025

London is a city of constant movement. Tubes and trains rattle until the early hours, bars and pubs pulsate with chatter and music, and there's a lingering hum that's almost impossible to escape. In short, tranquility is hard to come by. Perhaps as an antidote to London's endless buzz, a new crop of wellness spaces have started to emerge, including dedicated HYROX spaces, HIIT classes, hot yoga pods and outdoor saunas. In and amongst this newness, London has also embraced sound healing - the therapeutic use of sounds and vibrations to promote physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. From candleit lofts above busy Soho streets to glitzy Mayfair hotels, there's a sound healing spot to suit every need and moment. Keep reading to discover The Sybarite's top London picks.

Save Your Summer Skin at The HVN: London’s Ultimate Reset

13th October 2025

Summer may fade from the calendar, but it rarely fades from the skin. Sunshine, sea, flights and late nights leave a quieter legacy: dryness, uneven tone, fine lines and a surface that feels just a little less alive. October is the perfect moment to pause and repair. For those who want more than a quick facial, there is one destination that feels worlds apart: The HVN in Knightsbridge.

The Co-Founder Of SURI On Rethinking Sustainability

11th October 2024

SURI was born from the experiences of its co-founders, who both previously worked at consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble. The staggering realisation that billions of plastic products are discarded each year inspired them to rethink how everyday items like toothbrushes could be redesigned to minimise environmental impact. SURI’s innovation lies in creating a product that not only provides a superior brushing experience but is also recyclable, durable, and an attractive addition to any bathroom. The brand has now established itself as a cutting-edge oral care brand so The Sybarite was excited to sit down with co-founder, Mark Rushmore, to find out more.

Review of Beauty Round Up - Best Luxury Mascaras to Buy Now

27th October 2021

However, finding the right mascara for the occasion is not always that simple. It can feel like a minefield, particularly given the number of options that are now on the market, everything from mascaras that give you volume and length to others which promise growth and definition. I’m not really a fan of waterproof mascara, I like to be able to wash it off with a good facial cleanser, so this is always the first test for me. Secondly it’s about finding the best mascara for the effect you are after, and as with the hair on our head, lashes come in different textures and colours, so there isn’t any such thing as a one-size-fits-all mascara. I’ve done a little digging around to find some luxury mascara brands that you may not have heard of, and with a little trial and error I have put my top six together.

The Sybarite speaks to SHA Wellness's VP Alejandro Bataller

28th October 2020

The inspiration behind SHA Wellness Clinic came when my father, Founder of SHA - Alfredo Bataller Parietti, was dealing with his own critical health issues. He was lucky enough to see a doctor who had a great understanding of nutrition and natural therapies, who enabled him to regain his health. Since then, the need and commitment to share it with as many people as possible arose, creating an establishment that combined the most effective and proven natural therapies with highly therapeutic nutrition, without neglecting the latest advances in Western medicine, especially with respect to preventive medicine, genetics, and anti-aging.

Review of The Sybarite takes a look at Fenty Beauty

11th October 2017

Having already cemented her status as a fashion icon, singer Rihanna has moved into the world of cosmetics, and she has done so with a bang! With shoppers queuing out the doors and items already out of stock, getting your hands on one of the items in the line isn’t the easiest task, however, with a trip to Harvey Nichols and a little perseverance, I managed to snap up some of the oh-so-coveted products. The full Fenty Beauty line is currently on sale worldwide in select stores, the official UK stockist being high-end department store Harvey Nichols. Feeling dazzled by the launch and itching to get my hands on some of the products, I headed over to the store at the Mailbox in Birmingham, where I was met by plenty of equally as excited shoppers frantic to get their Fenty fix.
