You’ve probably noticed the heatwave sweeping the UK, and it looks like it’s here to stay a while. That’s all well and good when you’re chilling with your friends on an alfresco terrace, but when it comes to sweating it out on the tube, office air-con wars and stuffy, sleepless nights – it can be a little challenging.

Which is why we’re so pleased to hear about the new Snow Paradise at K West Hotel & Spa. Filled with the finest natural snow, made from air and water, and chilled to the icy temperature of -15ºC, the chilled cabin is the perfect place to find solace from the summer heat.

The Snow Paradise is located within the Wet Spa area, which also has a twinkling Hydrotherapy pool, sanarium, sauna and an aromatic herbal steam room, allowing you to mimic the Finnish tradition of Hot-Cold Therapy.

To experience all of the health benefits, K Spa advises you to alternate between the freezing environment of the Snow Paradise and the steamy surroundings of the sauna. The sudden and extreme change in temperature stimulates the body’s circulation and can work wonders on cellulite.

K Spa’s Wet Spa, which includes access to the Snow Paradise, can be booked at a daily rate of £50, or £65 with a spa lunch. Visit the Snow Paradise free of charge when booking a minimum of two hours of holistic spa treatments.
