The Tempus Gift Guide 2025: Luxury Experiences

With the festive season officially in full swing, Tempus is compiling gift guides across a range of different categories — from food and drink to watches and luxury experiences — for you or your family and friends. Over the next few weeks, we will be looking at the best luxury gift items — from Charlotte Tilbury beauty advent calendars to a bespoke once-in-a-lifetime experience with Johnnie Walker — for you to gift your loved ones this Christmas.

In this third installment of our festive gift guide, we’ve tracked down the most indulgent and exclusive experiences – from London spa days to bespoke whisky blends and ski season stopovers – to gift your loved ones.Spa Day Experiences at Raffles London at The OWO
While London has several gorgeous subterranean spas, one certainly stands out — The Raffles OWO. While you may be thinking cocktail — rather than spa — menu, The Raffles OWO is the perfect place to a spot of pampering, with the recent introduction of its new spa day experiences. Held in its stunning Guerlain Spa, you don’t have to be a guest to discover its soothing spaces and relaxing rituals. Far from the traditional cookie cutter spa day, these full day pampering experiences are entirely tailor-made. Guests begin their journey by indulging in the spa’s facilities, before an expert-led Guerlain consultation and two hour treatment awaits. Physically refreshed, a nourishing two-course lunch at Pillar Kitchen and personalised  fragrance consultation at L’Atelier Guerlain ensures you leave looking, feeling and even smelling simply heavenly.Wheely
We all have that jet-set friend who traverses the globe, diary jam-packed, hopping from taxi to jet and back again. For the eternal traveller, what better gift than ease and peace of mind? Swiss-founded luxury company Wheely has created an irresistible offering, with its exclusive chauffeur cards, perfect for premium on-demand and pre-book journeys. Hand-delivered and topped with a bow — or at least delivered in an elegant, bespoke presentation box — every card includes a leather luggage tag with a discreet AirTag inside. So they can sit back and enjoy their flight, knowing that when they land their luggage will be tracked and chauffeur ready and waiting to whisk them home.Johnnie Walker
While rare and unique single cask whiskies are a dependable purchase for whisky aficionados, Johnnie Walker’s latest offering is sure to impress even the enduring epicure. Traditionally by invitation only, Johnnie Walker has announced the public opening of its hallowed Vault, offering an astonishing once-in-a-lifetime whisky experience, deeply rooted in Scottish heritage. From Michelin Star dining to a glamorous stay at the glorious Gleneagles Hotel, the luxurious agenda culminates in a bespoke blending session with Dr. Walker, Master Blender — keeper of Johnnie Walker’s most treasured secrets. After hearing tales of her travels, working together on a made-to-measure blend, your loved one will be presented with their unique creation in a sparkling Baccarat crystal decanter. Chronicled in the Johnnie Walker Vault archive, the recipe will be stored safely alongside iconic whisky creations, for future commissions and a place in its hallowed halls.RH Membership
While objets d’arte, designer candles and elegant furniture pieces are always welcome gifts, for true design aficionados, education, not just items, top the Christmas wish list. Enduring arbiter of taste, RH, is the name to know and now you can gift the knowledge and know-how behind its timeless approach. Its new members programme is the perfect gift, offering not only desirable discounts, but invaluable interior design services too. From the perfect chair for your office, to the best wood tones for your dining spaces, RH experts will share their tips and tricks on a complimentary basis so your loved ones can curate captivating spaces at home. Truly the design gift that keeps on giving.The Alpine Interlude at The Woodward Auberge, Geneva
For seasoned skiers, gifting The Alpine Interlude at The Woodward Auberge will feel like a masterstroke moment. Specifically designed for the ski-season, it transforms the Geneva stopover from an unproductive hassle, into a luxurious and treasured ritual. On the way to the slopes, strengthen body and skin with a private mobility-focused coaching session, thermal circuits and cold-water therapies, and Guerlain’s barrier-strengthening facial. On the return, sink into an in-room salt-bath ritual, before enjoying curated yoga and breathwork, a recovery-focused breakfast, and Guerlain’s Tailor Made Massage featuring LED cell-regeneration therapy and targeted muscle release.  Rosi at The Beaumont Mayfair
What else to gift someone who has it all? Why not consider bringing together fine dining and (your) excellent company for an evening of conversation and delightful delicacies. London’s new culinary hot spot, Rosi at The Beaumont, Mayfair is helmed by acclaimed Michelin-star chef Lisa Goodwin-Allen, who has reimagined the menu to offer witty twists on British classics, from Chipolata Sausages and crisp Crudités to Dry Aged Beef Tartare, John Dory Fish Fingers and showstopping seasonal pies.
