A home cryotherapy chamber?
Whyever not?
For those of you still paying off a Peloton mortgage, there’s a new bit of
super-expensive fitness kit to dream of: a cryotherapy chamber. The
subzero rooms and devices promise to supercharge workouts by helping
recovery and increasing calorie burn, and the global industry is projected
to be worth $441 million by 2026. Cristiano Ronaldo and Jamie Vardy
have one in their homes, and Lewis Hamilton includes cryotherapy in his
recovery routine, but it’s not just the athletes — Halle Berry recently
credited cryotherapy for helping her to get ready for her latest role, and
Kim K and Harry Styles (left) are fans too. If you can’t afford to install
your own chamber (got a spare £10,000?), you can book in for a session
at the recently opened wellness centre the Body Lab in Kensington (far
left; annual membership from £5,250), where the chamber’s temperature
drops to minus 110C. Or try the Lanserhof at the Arts Club in Mayfair,
where cryo sessions start at £50 for non-members.Ye s, grown-ups c an

Y2K-inspired body glitter

good? If you’re tempted,
make sure you get the
planet-friendly stuff —
traditional glitter is made of
microplastics — and sparkle
responsibly, folks.

The It winter break: Comporta
Portugal’s answer to the Hamptons? The 37-mile peninsula of sand dunes,
rice fields and cork trees known as Comporta. The secluded beachy spot,
just 90 minutes’ drive from Lisbon, has long been a hush-hush summer
go-to for honey-limbed, moneyed Europeans — think connected
Parisians and Lisboans — plus the odd Brazilian. The model and film-
maker Farida Khelfa has a home there, as does the designer Philippe
Starck. And in what will be 2022’s hottest opening, the shoe designer
Christian Louboutin is set to open his first hotel in the region next
summer. Where to stay in the meantime? The buzzed-about Sublime
Comporta, with its beachy, minimalist villas and bikes to borrow, is
Portugal’s equivalent of Soho Farmhouse. The laid-back nature hotspot
will serve as great interiors inspo too: all rattan furniture, handcrafted
blankets and Portuguese ceramics. Don’t miss interior designer Marta
Mantero’s store, Rice, or Gomes Delicatessen, aka the Harrods of
Comporta — buy the broa, a type of Portuguese cornbread, and live your
best bucolic fantasies. It’s less Algarve, more old-fashioned beach idyll.The 37-mile Comporta
