SPA GODDESS
TROPIC DELIGHT
Conrad Rangali, one of the Maldives’ most stylish retreats, has joined forces with skincare supremo Elemis to offer spa-goers results-driven treatments. This autumn the sensational overwater spa, set 50 metres offshore, will offer the usual array of facials, massages, body wraps and sculpting treatments that Elemis is known for, as well as the Tropical Indulgence signature treatment designed exclusively for Conrad’s robe-wearers. Involving a nourishing blend of coconut, mung bean, spices and papaya being rubbed into the skin and a deep-tissue massage targeting the thighs, buttocks and back, it’s the ultimate prep for a ‘belfie’ – a bottom selfie, don’t
you know!

TECH TIME-OUT
Back in the UK, frazzled clients seeking a short-term fix should be pointed in the direction of Chewton Glen in Hampshire. Its digital detoxes are overseen by those purveyors of purity, Ila, and involve a divine device-free 48 hours of Nordic walking in the New Forest, meditating, practising yoga and indulging in spa treatments. It’s more than merely a weekend away, and detoxees will return energised and educated in the art of switching off. They might even shed a few pounds while they’re at it, thanks to a strict 70/30 alkaline menu.
Recommend a treehouse suite for big spenders – they start from
£1,000 a night and are worth every penny.

I reloaded it, and now, guess what? I love it. First thing in the morning I check it to see how well I’ve slept, and last thing at night to see how many steps I’ve taken. Best of all, the wristband’s gentle buzz wakes me in the morning at a time (within 30 minutes of my usual alarm) that fits with my natural sleep pattern. My Jawbone UP2 is my new best friend. Next issue, I’ll be road- testing a Withings Activité watch, which does a similar thing but is much more stylish. £89.99 each
