The swimming pool here isn’t just for lane-swimmers in Speedos. It’s the kind of place where you can bob around like a content potato, letting your worries dissolve in the warm water. One afternoon, I saw a dad floating on his back, his toddler splashing nearby, and he had that “I’m not thinking about work” look on his face. We’ve all been there—that rare moment when your brain finally shuts up.
The water temperature is just right—not a shock to the system, not a lukewarm bath. It’s like Goldilocks found the perfect pool and told everyone. If you’ve ever tried to swim in a freezing outdoor lido in March, you will appreciate this simple luxury.
The spa: a hug for your tired shoulders
Let’s talk about the spa area, because it deserves a slow clap. There’s a steam room that feels like a friendly cloud has swallowed you whole. I’m not a fancy spa person—I usually get anxious about what to tip—but here, it’s all low-key. You just wander in, sit on the warm tiles, and let the steam unclench your jaw from that meeting you had.
There’s also a sauna that’s dry and hot enough to make you feel like you’ve earned that slice of cake later. Pro tip: bring a book, or just stare at the wood panels and think about nothing. It’s surprisingly therapeutic to sit in silence while your pores confess their sins.
