Pampering @ the Thermae Bath Spa

I have been very excited about the Sunday because I was promised a massage session and experience at the Thermae Bath Spa - the only natural thermal bath spa in Britain.

The building that host the Thermae Bath Spa

The day before, we met a lady who live in the Royal Crescent, who told us that the guy who designed and built this bath spa, rented a basement room from her for about a year or so to oversee the buildling of this project. That guy pumped in 12 million of his own money for this project, which has since attracted heaps of visitors to Bath. WOW! I wonder, why would someone who has 12 million to spare, would want to live in someone's basement...although the Royal Crescent is one of the most 'high-class' address in the high-class town of Bath. !!




We were given robes and slippers when we enter the building, and ushered to the spa massage area where we both have the aromatherapy massage - these sessions are dangerously addictive!! After the massage, we're free to roam the 4 storey Thermae Bath Spa!

On the roof of the building, there's the rooftop pool where we could look over the beautiful green views of the fields and highlands of Bath, views of the Bath Abbey and some parts of the town. Half the pool is bubbly most of the time,  a gigantic jacuzzi if you may.  On a sunny day such as this Sunday...this experience is just paradise.

The Rooftop Pool - lovely place to soak on a sunny Autumn's day

Ground floor, there's a big open indoor pool of which I would have imagined how the old Roman Baths are like. It's one big heated pool, with a section where the pool bubbles up - giving it the jacuzzi feeling.

On one of the floors, there are 5 different steam rooms, each with a different aroma (smell). There's big huge shower in the middle of floor called the Rainbow Shower. This gigantic shower could shower up to 20 people at a time!! All you do is stand under the shower, and heavy water will drop from the roof.....very refreshing and massaging!! Around the hall, there are little basins on the floor for foot massages. You can just fill up the basins with water and press a button for bubbles to appear....soak your feet in and enjoy. :) A very unique experience indeed!!

 This is a highly recommended stop if you visit Bath. Thank you Mr T for arranging such a treat. :)
