Despite being in one of the busiest parts of Manchester, Bali Health Lounge is all about serenity. Glide up the ballroom-style staircase, away from the noise of China Town below, you'll find yourself in an Eastern-inspired enclave of calm and quiet, where Jing tea is sipped from clay pots and jasmine flowers gently fragrance the air.
All of which makes relaxing into the treatments ridiculously easy. Taking the best from both Western and Asian practices, the specialty is the Bali signature massage, an intuitive de-stress of the entire body, whilst treatments such as Indian head massages are focused on rejuvenation.
Less holistically, i-Lipo, tanning and beauty treatments are all offered within the hushed corridors where every little detail has been thought of – even the ceilings are covered in calming murals designed to help you unwind. Brands such as Payot and Ytsara are chosen for their herbal blends of ingredient and ritual, and their ability to make you feel calm. A truly brilliant spa.
(No wet facilities, only dry treatments with prices starting from £30).
