About Sanctuary Spa
Sanctuary Spa began as a spa that opened in Covent Garden, London, in 1977, and its body care range followed in 1988 with formulas inspired by the spa and developed with its therapists. The spa itself closed on 31 May 2014 after 37 years. PZ Cussons acquired the brand in 2008. In its 2026 financial year Sanctuary Spa made the biggest contribution to UK growth, helped by Christmas gifting and its Aqua Serenity range.
