The 11 Best Kids Spas In London

Sharing is caring!

If you’re searching for a kids spa in London, check out our round-up of London spas and salons that accept children and teenagers:

Spa visits are not designed for stressed adults only. The treatments are for overall well-being management, and to ease mental strain as well as physical aches and pains.

Not to mention that going to school, reading and engaging in other mental and physical activities is often stressful for the kids.

You deserve the pampering and so do the kids.

Are spa treatments safe for kids and teenagers?

Yes! Spa treatments are not done with separate tools and ingredients for kids only.

The treatments are designed to suit the skin and needs of children.

Spa treatments are a great introduction to health and wellbeing. If it’s fun, and gives you more time to spend with your little ones, then the goal is achieved.

The best part is that most spas always consider the allergies and health impact on the kids before embarking on any spa treatments.

Are spa treatments for kids and teenagers, a good idea?

facials for teen girls

Absolutely! I see this as not only a well-being experience for the kids but also a bonding experience for the kids and me.

For several years spa etiquette intentionally removed young children from the list of target audiences that are expected to enjoy a spa treatment.

The reason is that children are known to be noisy, playful and active which doesn’t align with the serene expectations of a spa centre.

Most parents always run to the spas to escape a few moments of parental duties and screams.

To calm their nerves and enjoy exclusive pampering, which they deserve.

However, if your kids are of age and can sit properly without excessive races around the vicinity, then you should consider taking them along with you.

This could give you time to:

Speak with your troubled teenager

Often, getting teens to open up a bit about their struggles can be a hard nut to crack but you may be able to finally convince them to speak up and share their troubles with you during a relaxing spa session.

Bond

Mum and daughter pair may book a session to share some memories. Kids grow too fast when you’re not watching.

So, you might as well take advantage of the time you can share with them and create memories.

It’s okay to relax and have fun with the kids/teenagers.

Especially if it’s at the weekends or a destination getaway.

Priceless shared moments like getting facials to manicure treatments with your daughter, Disney nail designs or a father and son yoga asana session can never be bought with money.

Create a great learning experience

Spa sessions are a memorable time to share insights on well-being and the importance of wellness with the kids. This will help them understand that they deserve self-care.

Spa treatments are not an aimless luxury and money splurge as some think, you can find affordable spa homes that offer the value that you and your kids need.

Several parents can attest to the physical, mental and health benefits of a healthy wellness practice with their little ones.

The priceless spa experience sets the basis for great self-care routines that will teach the kids to find an outlet for stress whenever they need it.

From head to toe: Safe and fun spa treatments for kids and teenagers, including facials and manicures

Several spas create unique bonding experience packages for families to enjoy together with their kids and teenagers.

There are fun spa treatments for teenagers and safe for them too. So, what services are offered at these spa centres?

The age bracket of the kids influences the kind of spa treatment that they’ll get. For children from the ages of three and above, the following services are offered to them.

These are all fun spa treatments for teenagers too:

  • Facials
  • Massages
  • Manicures
  • Pedicures
  • Yoga
manicure

We love manicures pre-vacation as they’re fun, not too expensive and can be as colourful or as plain as you like. If you’re off to warm climes, check out these summer nail ideas.

The kids may not be allowed to visit and use hot tubs due to the sensitivity of their skin but most tweens and teens can enjoy these pampering sessions under the supervision of their parents.

Once the child reaches 18, they can freely visit and choose their own spa experience.

Some spas now offer dedicated spa packages for parents and their kids.

Some even offer special baby massage sessions and lessons that can help the parents do it at home for the babies to relax.

That said, you should know that most spas expect the parents to be present during the spa treatment for the purpose of protocols, safety, consideration for others and personal choice.

How to organise safe and fun spa treatments for kids and teenagers pampering

A spa break with your daughter or son is a classic experience that could come in different packages for you and the kids. From safe and fun spa retreats to classic afternoon teas, spa weekends to spa days.

You get the chance to be the fun mum you’ve always wanted to be. Spend quality time with them and catch up on school happenings, their friends and the ordeals of being a teenager in the 21st century.

You probably don’t get to do this as much as you would like so, this could be a beautiful gift for your parenting journey.

Here are a few tips for the perfect teen spa treatment:

  • Enjoy lunch, afternoon tea or dinner after spa treatments to soak in the bonding experience and share intimate details with the children
  • Get an interesting book on a subject that you could share and discuss ideas with the kids. Lounge by the pool and enjoy the pleasure

The spa features nine treatment rooms including two double suites, mani-pedi suite and sleek relaxation room.

This one isn’t 100% a kids spa location as the Spa’s youngest guest they accept is 16 years old but we like it as a mum and child spa day when your kids are older.

Hiro Miyoshi at The Ritz London

More a luxury salon than a spa (located in the privacy of the hotel’s seventh floor) Miyoshi at The Ritz London salon offers a tranquil environment for clients to unwind in the hands of Hiro and his handpicked and highly-skilled team.
