Welcome to an oasis of calm on the fringes of a booming Bangalore metropolis. The undeniably hectic pace of this 6.8 million strong city has made the need for a healing environment such as Angsana Oasis Spa & Resort all the more compelling, and since its inception in 2001, it has enveloped many a city slicker in its serene ambience.
Owned by the Prestige Group and managed by the Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts, the international leader in resorts and spas, Angsana Oasis Spa & Resort bears all the characteristics of an impressive pedigree. It combines the Prestige Group’s penchant for architectural refinement, with Banyan Tree’s global yen for spa resorts and treatments.
A 45 minute drive from the centre of the city, the resort is located in Prestige North West County and is strategically positioned close to the new international airport, serving as a luxuriant point of transit for the travel-weary heading to the city. The resort has all the requirements necessary to shake off jet lag, unwind and rejuvenate. From authentic Thai massages by experts trained at the Banyan Tree Spa Academy in Phuket, to Swedish massages and an Ayurvedic health care centre run by the Arya Vaidya Pharmacy that harnesses centuries of natural therapy, to Roman Pools, Russian Baths and jacuzzis for the ultimate blissful soak, the facilities combine the benefits of age-old wisdom with modern day cutting-edge spa technology.
This 79 room, nine acre property is popular both for corporate retreats as well as providing a perfect weekend getaway, with its verdant landscape, luxurious rooms and suites and placid azure pools reflecting an ever changing sky. Once you have settled into the plush resort rooms or suites, you stroll barefoot on the moist grass as you head to the spa pavilions set within a bamboo grove for a massage, or lounge in your balcony with a good book and a spectacular view of the sunset. Families compete at a game of carom or chess, while corporate cognoscenti mix business with pleasure. The tennis and squash courts get the adrenalin pumping, and the well equipped gymnasium cannot help but motivate you into a fitness regime.
Explains Nawabzada Omer Bin Jung, Managing Director of Prestige Leisure Resorts Private Limited, “The Angsana Oasis Spa & Resort is an ideal sanctuary designed to restore equilibrium and harmony. The serenity and charm of the surroundings compel visitors to reunite with nature. A comprehensive blend of health treatment programmes offer a therapeutic remedy to calm, repair, restore, detoxify, invigorate, rejuvenate and protect.
