Virgin Atlantic launched the Red Spirit Retreat in London, a unique sensory travel experience. This retreat blends cutting-edge technology, red-light therapy, and the airline’s hospitality to simulate travel excitement. Visitors enjoy pre-flight luxury with refreshments served by actual cabin crew in a Clubhouse-inspired lounge.
The retreat sits at South Bank’s Observation Point and offers a ten-minute red-light therapy session. Guests relax in a premium cabin seat while the red light improves mood, circulation, and sleep. It also reduces stress, recreating feelings travelers get before Virgin Atlantic flights. The therapy leaves visitors refreshed and ready to explore.
Many UK travelers still plan holidays for 2025 and seek escape. The retreat stimulates senses with scents from Virgin Atlantic destinations: coconut for the Caribbean, saffron for Mumbai, and coffee for New York. These smells trigger powerful travel memories and heighten anticipation.
The space also plays a jet engine hum to recreate the pre-flight thrill. Virgin Atlantic’s welcoming cabin crew enhance comfort and happiness at the retreat. The airline took this wellness concept to London landmarks, where crew wore futuristic infrared masks. This sparked curiosity and excitement among passersby.
Virgin Atlantic now offers red-light therapy at select retail stores nationwide to reach more travelers. The Red Spirit Retreat transforms travel anticipation into an exciting, multi-sensory journey. It invites everyone to reconnect with travel’s joy and adventure before boarding a plane.
