Revered poet Sylvia Plath famously said, ‘There must be quite a few things a hot bath won’t cure but I don’t know many of them.’ The power to heal through water has been a theme throughout history. Modern-day research argues that even spending time in the proximity of water can reduce fatigue, stimulate mental wellness and reduce anxiety. Over 2,000 years ago however, the Romans had a head start on this with the world-famous Roman baths.
For the Romans, their baths went beyond the embodiment of architectural magnificence. They were an ode to the beauty and necessity of wellness, of well-being and of leisure. The baths were spaces people occupied in order to relax, heal, commune, rest and partake in the daily ritual of caring for oneself. Using a combination of waters at different temperatures and a medley of essential oils to bring relief to the body, mind and soul, this ancient practice of seeking solace is having a much welcome revival and is the inspiration behind Jo Malone London’s new Care Collection.

Arguably one of the most famous baths ever built in Britain is the Roman Baths, situated in Bath, Somerset. Known for its naturally occurring hot springs, which, according to the legend of Bladud – the king who is said to have founded the ancient city – had powers to heal the sick. And so, for centuries, Bath was a place people sojourned to in order to seek respite and healing. During the Victorian era, the Roman ruins of the baths were rediscovered and while today visitors can peruse the baths, they are no longer open to bathe in. Thankfully, there are now modern – but authentic – iterations of the Roman baths where bathers can enjoy all the wellness benefits the Romans had in mind.
AIRE is, for all intents and purposes, a spa. But in reality, this glorious paean to wellness is a temple that takes its inspiration from the traditions of Ancient Rome, Greek and Ottoman civilisations. Set in restored historical buildings in the middle of bustling cities including London, New York and Barcelona, it creates an atmosphere dedicated to the relaxation of the mind, body and soul, a place where it is said that the concept of time no longer exists. Amid the menu of treatments, such as massages and exfoliation based on ancient beauty and health principles, every AIRE experience includes ancient baths of different temperatures and properties: the caldarium (40°C), frigidarium (14°C and 10°C) and tepidarium (36°C). These hot and warm waters are known for their power to reduce cortisol levels thereby reducing our propensity for stress. The cold water stimulates the vagus nerve which in turn moves us into our rest and digest mode. Also featured in AIRE is the balneum, a hydrotherapy jet bath, the vaporium – a steam room infused with revitalising peppermint – and a flotarium, a unique salt water bath with a high saline concentration. This increases the density of the water, allowing bathers to float effortlessly. It’s a ritual proven to reduce the signs of stress and anxiety. Amid the disquiet omnipresent in the world and the busyness of life, the bath house is an open invitation to discover the beauty of de-stressing, finding solace, nurturing your spirit and experiencing the transformative power of relaxation.
