Review of The Luxury Insider: AIRE Ancient Baths
1st September 2025
It’s Monday morning and I’m floating in a warm salt bath surrounded by flickering candlelight and tall rustic archways under London’s ancient streets. I really am in heaven! Next, it’s time for a hot stream and some cold therapy in the plunge pool, set to 10C, before a full body massage and glass of fizz. I’ve had worse Monday mornings. Luxury spas are my ultimate indulgence, there is nothing better than some uninterrupted ‘me time’, so when I heard that AIRE were opening their first London baths, a stone's throw from Covent Garden I couldn’t wait to visit. Inspired by the ancient tradition of Roman baths, AIRE Ancient Baths London reimagines the classic pastime of soaking in thermal waters, but with a twist. Already found in the likes of New York, Chicago, Copenhagen and Spain, AIRE’s approach is all about updating the concept of ‘water for wellness’ for a modern audience, marrying age-old traditions within cutting-edge spaces.

Shroom Boom: How Mushrooms Went Mainstream
11th August 2025
Every week, it seems like there’s a new micro-trend in health and beauty. There are always big promises of glowing, healthy skin, yet few have been backed by scientific claims. But as consumers gradually shift away from complex, synthetic formulas, mushrooms have become a coveted ingredient. The fact that mushrooms are now entering the mainstream beauty arena is no surprise. For centuries, the superfood has been integral to Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for its healing and rejuvenating properties. Now, this has been corroborated by modern science.
