I love a bit of mud. From wallowing in the mud baths of Nha Trang in Vietnam to slathering myself in the stuff on the banks of the Dead Sea in Jordan, if there’s rejuvenating dirt to bathe in, I’m there. I try to reap the benefits of various mud masks as much as possible at home, but the resulting mess left behind in the shower leaves much to be desired.
Fellow mud bathing enthusiasts rejoice, then. There’s a Mud Cave Experience at Damu the new “revolutionary immersive space” at Fitzrovia’s trendy Mandrake Hotel. It’s wellness with a heavy dollop of theatrics, which is a fun change from the po-faced spa-as-medical-clinic trend. The interiors are all moody earth tones, which only intensifies once you reach the “cave” itself.
