If you have read my review of the portable NEOM Mini Pod, you already know how much I love using aromatherapy to make my home smell like a five-star spa. However, when it comes to scenting large, open-plan living areas, kitchen-diners, or high-ceilinged hallways, smaller diffusers and single-wick candles can sometimes struggle to fill the room.

That is exactly where the NEOM Wellbeing Pod Luxe steps in. Specially engineered as the powerhouse of the NEOM diffuser family, this supersized pod is designed to scent huge, open spaces in just minutes while doubling as a seriously chic piece of home decor.

But with a retail price of £140, is the largest pod in the collection actually worth the investment?

Let's take a closer look at what is included, how the technology works, and whether it deserves pride of place on your kitchen island or large living room.

What is the NEOM Luxe wellbeing pod?

Unlike the waterless Mini Pod, the Wellbeing Pod Luxe is a mains-operated ultrasonic water diffuser. Measuring 14cm tall by 14cm in diameter, it features a generous water tank capable of scenting spaces up to a massive 60 square metres for up to 12 hours at a time.

What is Included

Inside the box, you receive the Pod Luxe unit (with its removable ceramic cover and wooden base), a mains power adaptor, and a brilliant handheld remote control.

NOTE: Be very careful of the delicate ceramic cover, if this is dropped it could break

How Does It Work?

You simply fill the internal tank with cold water, add up to 30 drops of your chosen NEOM Essential Oil Blend (or a bit less if you prefer a subtler scent), pop the ceramic cover back on, and press play on your remote.

Using high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations, the pod blends the water and oils into a fine, heatless mist—meaning the natural therapeutic benefits of the essential oils are never burned away. My favourite touch is the built-in Breathing Mode: the ambient light gently brightens for 7 seconds as you inhale and dims for 11 seconds as you exhale, guiding you through NEOM's signature 7/11 relaxation technique without you even having to leave the sofa or book a yoga class.

The Colours and Design

Because a large diffuser sits out on display on your sideboard or kitchen island, it needs to look good. NEOM has completely nailed the interior styling with two gorgeous finishes:

• Classic Warm White Ceramic & Light Wood (£140): The signature core design features a tactile, warm white gravure-textured ceramic cover paired with a natural light wood base. It has a timeless Scandi-spa feel that suits almost any neutral interior.
• Berry Blush Speckled Glass (£150): A stunning limited-edition seasonal design featuring a dusky-pink speckled glass cover that gives off the cosiest, warm glow when the internal light is switched on in the evening.

Features

• Designed to scent much larger areas such as large kitchen diners, large meeting rooms and tall ceiling sitting rooms.
• Up to 12 hours of scent.
• Remote control so you can control the mist and ambient lighting from your sofa or dining table.
• Mains operated

The Different Essential Oils Available

Because the Pod Luxe uses a larger water tank, it works brilliantly with both NEOM's standard 10ml Essential Oil Blends (approx. 300 drops per bottle) and their larger, better-value 30ml Essential Oil Blends (approx. 900 drops per bottle). You can even mix and match drops to create your own bespoke home scent! Here are my top picks across their four core wellbeing pillars:

• For Better Sleep: Perfect Night's Sleep (Lavender, Chamomile & Patchouli) or Bedtime Hero (Chamomile, Ylang Ylang & Cedarwood) are wonderful to diffuse in the evening while winding down watching TV.
• For Less Stress: Real Luxury (Lavender, Jasmine & Sandalwood) is the ultimate crowd-pleaser when you have guests coming over—it instantly makes your whole house smell like a luxury hotel lobby.
• For a Mood Boost: (my absolute Favourite) Happiness (White Neroli, Mimosa & Lemon) is fresh, floral, and uplifting, making it ideal for weekend mornings.
• For an Energy Boost: Feel Refreshed (Sicilian Lemon & Fresh Basil) or Squeeze The Day (Grapefruit, Mandarin & Eucalyptus) are incredible for banishing cooking smells in an open-plan kitchen-diner!

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros	👎 Cons
Effortlessly scents large open-plan rooms up to 60 square metres Runs for up to 12 hours on a single tank of water Includes a handy remote control so you can adjust mist and light from the sofa Features the guided 7/11 breathing light mode to help reduce stress Textured ceramic and wood finish looks like high-end home decor Compatible with both 10ml and larger 30ml essential oil bottles	Premium £140 price tag Mains operated rather than cordless, so it needs to sit near a plug socket Uses up more essential oil drops per fill than the standard or mini pods

Cost and Where to Buy

The classic NEOM Wellbeing Pod Luxe retails for £140.00 (with the limited-edition Berry Blush version priced at £150.00).

While £140 is undeniably a considered investment for a home diffuser, it is well worth keeping an eye on the official NEOM website for their Pod Starter Packs and Gift Collections. NEOM frequently bundles the Pod Luxe with two or three essential oil blends at a 15% to 20% saving, which brings the cost of the oils down significantly and gives you everything you need to get started straight out of the box.

Buying directly from NEOM also gives you peace of mind with a full 1-year guarantee and free standard UK delivery. Click on the blue button below to be taken straight to this amazing pod on NEOM's website.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the NEOM Pod Luxe and the Pod Mini?
The Pod Luxe is a large, mains-powered ultrasonic water diffuser designed to scent open-plan rooms up to 60 square metres for up to 12 hours. The Pod Mini+ is a tiny, wireless, waterless diffuser that runs on a rechargeable battery and is designed for small spaces like desks, bedside tables, or cars.

Is the Wellbeing Pod Luxe noisy?
It is very quiet! Because it uses ultrasonic vibrations in water, you will only hear a very soft, gentle water-trickling sound in the background, which many people actually find quite soothing.

How many drops of essential oil should I use in the Pod Luxe?
NEOM recommends adding up to 30 drops of essential oil to a full tank of water for maximum scent throw in a large space, though 10 to 15 drops is plenty if you prefer a lighter background fragrance.

Overview

No lie, I literally designed my kitchen island and the mains socket in the correct place for my NEOM luxe pod to sit pride of place in my new kitchen, I am obsessed!

To sum it all up, if you have an open-plan kitchen-diner or a large living room and you want your home to smell incredible without constantly burning through expensive three-wick candles, the NEOM Wellbeing Pod Luxe is worth every single penny.

Between the tactile ceramic cover, the 12-hour run time, the guided breathing light, and the sheer convenience of the remote control, it turns your evening wind-down routine into a genuine ritual. Pair it with a 30ml bottle of Real Luxury or Perfect Night's Sleep, and you will wonder how you ever lived without it!
