Signature treatments weave light therapy with intuitive touch and organic botanicals to unveil three distinct journeys.
Based in Cornwall, Inlight Beauty is formulated by science, guided by alchemy and inspired by the wisdom of nature. Every product is handcrafted with care, using ethically sourced botanicals that nourish the skin and honour the planet. This summer, a collaboration with Three Mile Beach – a collection of luxury beach houses on Cornwall’s wild coast – sees an expansion of its wellness offering with the launch of Relax, a new dedicated, serene treatment room.
Located in St Ives Bay, Three Mile Beach is a collection of dog-friendly luxury two-bedroom beach shacks, and three- and four-bedroom beach houses. Combining the privacy of self-catering with the ease of hotel-style amenities, guests of Three Mile Beach are spoilt for choice with a concierge on hand to arrange restaurant reservations, surfboard and wetsuit hire and activities.
Private, wrap-around terraces are home to sunken cedar hot tubs and barrel saunas, and on clear evenings, guests can admire Cornwall’s night sky with startling clarity thanks to in-house state-of-the-art telescopes. Three Mile Beach’s restaurant, Chomp, serves an ever-changing seasonal menu, whilst the option of private chefs serving up tasting menus and DIY pizza hampers makes home dining a breeze.
Three Mile Beach is a place that restores body and mind. Once you arrive, there is little need to leave, with the South West Coast Path and the ocean on the doorstep. Embracing the healing powers of the wild landscape is effortless here. So too is the ability for guests to decompress and restore in a peaceful haven. Relax offers the perfect quiet yet complementary counterpart to Three Mile Beach’s elemental offering.
Relax invites guests to unwind body and mind with a curated menu of sumptuous treatments. Based in Helston, Cornwall, Inlight Beauty was founded in 2007 by Dr Mariano Spiezia, doctor of medicine, medical herbalist and skin expert, hailed as “the father of the organic beauty movement in the UK.” The brand is COSMOS organic certified, with hand-blended formulations crafted in small batches, offering a multitude of mineral-rich nourishing oils and balms, as well as refreshing tonics and cleansers.
The unveiling of Relax will showcase The Trilogy, a collection of three immersive spa rituals, created by Sarah Hussey, a holistic therapist and spa consultant with over 30 years of experience. Sarah has woven together light, intuitive touch and the organic botanicals of Inlight Beauty skincare into a series of transformative treatment rituals inspired by the elements: Sun, Moon, and Earth. At the heart of The Trilogy lies a guiding philosophy that light is a symbol of renewal, clarity and inner radiance — and that by aligning with its rhythm, true wellbeing naturally unfolds.
The Trilogy offers guests the choice of three distinct journeys. Skinlight (Sun) is designed to awaken your inner glow. It’s a revitalising facial ritual blending Inlight’s organic skincare with LED light therapy in collaboration with Opatra London. This award-winning British brand is internationally acclaimed for its unique and versatile range of devices, suitable for all skin types.
As Sarah explains: “Its cutting-edge technology maximises the efficacy of Inlight skincare products, allowing them to penetrate further into the skin using LED light wavelengths, designed to target specific skin concerns. LED Light Therapy has many benefits for the skin and can target concerns such as ageing, breakouts, and pigmentation. This is a unique piece of equipment with endless bespoke treatment options.”
The Skinlight treatment is further enhanced by cooling Amethyst Gua Sha and a soothing facial massage to restore luminosity and lift. Meanwhile, Lightline (Moon) invites guests to float into stillness with a serene back-of-body massage inspired by the tranquil rhythm of moonlight. Long, flowing strokes soften tension and quiet the mind. Finally, Lightflow (Earth) encourages us to feel the rhythm within. This grounding full-body ritual features warm basalt stones, chakra alignment, reflex activation (a soothing technique that stimulates specific reflex points connected to the nervous system), and rhythmic massage to rebalance energy.
Each ritual begins with a nurturing foot soak: rose to balance the skin’s pH, calendula to support natural cell renewal, Himalayan salt for gentle exfoliation, and calming lavender. To bookend the experience, the ancient Egyptian Eau de Philae — a citrus botanical cologne — is delicately misted to awaken the senses. Guests then conclude their session with a warming cup of herbal tea. “In creating The Trilogy, I wanted each treatment to offer more than relaxation — rather to serve as a return to stillness, clarity, and the light within,” adds Sarah.
Later this year, Three Mile Beach will introduce treatments from the Amethyst Trust – a specialist programme designed to support guests who have experienced cancer – an initiative which reflects a cause close to the founders’ hearts, Craig Burkinshaw of Audley Travel and Joanne Le Bon. Inlight Touch Therapy’s collaboration with the Amethyst Trust will enable these rituals to be inclusive for everybody.
