Richmond Harbour Hotel & Spa unveils all-new spa, making it the only spa hotel in Richmond

January 12thRichmond, London

One of London’s most exciting new hotel launches Richmond Harbour Hotel & Spa unveiled a brand new spa on 4th January 2022 – HarSPA & Club- making it the only spa hotel in Richmond. Complete with a hydrotherapy pool and plunge pool, a heated 20-metre swimming pool, an extensive cardio suite, spin studios, a relaxation room and a wellbeing juice bar, the spa offers guests and local residents a retreat to relax and restore in Richmond. There is also an outdoor spa garden furnished with comfortable Nordic-inspired sofas and armchairs – and bubbling Scandinavian hot tubs to dip into.

Behind the scenes, the spa team has been busy creating a range of indulgent facials and massages, a restorative sleep retreat with luxury lifestyle brand The White Company and exciting outdoor experiences so guests can fully reset following a few challenging months. The HarSPA & Club is also partnering with Les Mills, the world’s largest creator of group fitness classes, giving guests access to their world-class workout sessions and challenging boot camps. Here is a glimpse of what to expect:

 

Les Mills Fitness Classes

A new mix of innovative exercise programming created by Les Mills, the global leader in group fitness, that fuses science, music, movement and ground-breaking technology will be unveiled. New fitness classes include BODYBALANCETM combining yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates to improve flexibility and breathing as well as BODYCOMBATTM – a high-energy martial arts-inspired workout that is totally non-contact. Other classes include LES MILLS CORETM, LES MILLS BARRETM and SH’BAMTM.

 

The White Company Sleep Retreat

Created in collaboration with luxury lifestyle brand The White Company, the hotel’s new Sleep Retreat starts with an early morning yoga class followed by a 60 minute “Drift away” massage including a relaxing blend of sleep-inducing essential oils. Full access to the spa means guests can clear their thoughts and relieve tension in the sauna or one of the hot tubs. The package also includes dinner at The Gate restaurant which offers a selection of light healthy dishes. Inside their rooms, guests will find a beautiful gift set from The White Company’s Sleep Collection featuring a Sleep Candle, Calming Bath Soak, a Nourishing Body Cream, a Soothing Pillow Mist and Eye Mask.

 

TEMPLESPA Massages & Facials

Inside the HarSPA’s 13 treatment rooms, spa treatments have been specially created with luxury skincare products from TEMPLESPA, combining luscious botanicals and high-tech ingredients, to pamper, detoxify and revitalise the body, or optimise recovery after a long workout. The perfect antidote to lockdown fatigue, the “Windows of the Soul” treatment harnesses the powerful effects of cucumber, edelweiss and Echinacea to cool and lift tired looking eyes. The facial uses Rose Quartz stone therapy – a powerful healing stone that helps release any trapped toxins and stimulates collagen production. This spring, Richmond’s HarSPA will be the only hotel in London to launch TEMPLESPA’s new range of CBD treatments including the “CBD Skin Booster Facial” which helps calm and soothe the skin and the “Stress Not CBD Massage” which targets muscle pain and melts away tension using the power of warmed white jade Wave Stones. The HarSPA & Club also has its own range of treatments including a Lava Shell Massage that uses the heat of warm sea shells to penetrate deep into the muscles and remove toxins or the Sea Salt Body Exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and stimulates blood flow.

 

Wellbeing Juice Bar

The HarSPA & Club’s new juice bar serves a mix of superfood smoothies, nutritional juices and shots packed with fresh fruits, protein powder or natural anti-inflammatory spices and herbs such as ginger, turmeric and cayenne pepper. In addition to this, the wellbeing juice bar serves a range of cold pressed juices, nut mylks and fresh soups from PRESS healthfoods as well as a wide choice of energy snacks such as protein balls, dried fruits, trail mixes and granola bars.

SIBBJÄNS ARRIVES ON GOTLAND, SWEDEN

February 2nd

SIBBJÄNS ARRIVES ON GOTLAND, SWEDEN

SIBBJÄNS ARRIVES ON GOTLAND, SWEDEN

A REGENERATIVE FARM STAY SHAPED BY SEASONS, FRIENDSHIP AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

Sweden

Sibbjäns began quietly, the combined dream of Jonas Nordlander and Sanna Rönn, who with close friends and many meaningful couples Pontus and Kina Zeidler share a life between Stockholm and Gotland. Over the past four years, they have steadily transformed this former horse farm into a regenerative stay that feels singular to anywhere else in Scandinavia.

After a soft opening in 2025 for friends and family, the farm stay now enters 2026 as its first full season, opening more intentionally to a like-minded global community drawn to nature, food, and thoughtful design.

 

A PLACE TO REST

 

22 individually designed rooms sit across the Hotel and ‘The Bunkhouse,’ each named after important women in the family and among their friends. Adorned with classic Scandi touches of sheepskin throws, limewashed walls, soft palettes, and contemporary art, the spaces are designed for comfort.

Buildings are framed by wildflowers and constructed using traditional methods, much of the work completed by hand, with local craftsmanship central to the process. Architect Maja Berg has been a key contributor, working alongside Erik Larsson, a Master of Gotlandic Craft Heritage, who built some of the original buildings himself and continues to pass on traditional building knowledge to the next generation.

THE KITCHEN FOLLOWS THE FARM

At the heart of Sibbjäns is a working farm home to hens, Mangalitza pigs, horses, and sheep, with agriculture guiding both the kitchen and the guest experience.

In the gardens, lead gardener and local Karin Winarve brings a quiet hand to what thrives here across meadows, vegetable beds, and fruit-growing plots. Produce is grown on-site and harvested seasonally, forming the backbone of a true farm-to-table approach—one that pauses entirely during the winter months when the land rests.

 

EXPERIENCES & ‘VIKING WELLNESS’

New for the 2026 season, wellbeing at Sibbjäns is restorative rather than prescriptive. Inspired by Nordic traditions and the physicality of outdoor life, the evolving wellness offering includes:

  • A hand-built yoga barn

  • A wood-fired sauna

  • An outdoor gym

  • Recreational spaces

  • The beginnings of what will become one of the world’s most beautiful tennis courts.

The surrounding landscape invites guests to engage with nature on its own terms, from cycling or horse riding across open farmland to kitesurfing along Gotland’s windswept coastline (widely regarded as one of the finest spots in Europe for the sport). This is ‘Viking wellness’ in spirit—elemental, grounding, and quietly transformative.

 

SWEDEN’S ‘SUNSHINE ISLAND’

Gotland is Sweden’s sunniest destination, known for its distinctive light, limestone landscapes, and strong ‘right to roam’ ethos. Open from Easter through to Christmas and closed entirely during the dark winter months, Sibbjäns follows the natural calendar rather than resisting it.

Reaching it is part of the journey:

  • A short flight from Stockholm to the island’s capital of Visby, followed by a drive across the island.

  • A ferry crossing that reinforces the sense of arrival somewhere distinct and deliberately unhurried.

  • For those preferring a more direct approach, arrival by helicopter is also possible.

At its core, Sibbjäns remains a place for friends old and new built slowly, grounded in nature, and designed to endure.
