While waiting in the relaxation lounge, gentle music soothes any tension and your stresses quickly begin to melt away. There is a full suite of pampering treatments from luxurious massages and scrubs to wraps and facials for you to choose from. Inspired by Balinese, Thai,Chinese, Indian and Japanese traditions, they are designed to restore your natural sense of equilibrium.
Any one of the spa’s three signature massage treatments will bring you to bliss: The Oriental Massage (a combination of Thai, Shiatsu and Swedish techniques), The Oriental Symphony (an ultra indulgent fourhand massage conducted by two skilled therapists), and the Oriental Back Massage using heated stones. The Aromatherapy Body Scrub and Rose Hydrating Cocoon Wrap also come highly recommended.
Each treatment begins with a soothing foot cleansing ritual while the massages feature the powerful effects of Oriental meridian massage, combined with the therapeutic benefits of customblended pure essential oils created specially for Mandarin Oriental.
Besides individual treatments, you can go the whole nine yards and indulge in day packages like the five-hour plus Oriental Indulgence Day, which comprises a Welcome Foot Ritual, Detox Wrap, The Oriental Massage, Facial, Eye Care or Hand Care, and Vitality Scalp Massage.
The spa’s luxurious interior comprises five private treatment rooms (some with en suite showers), and a spacious couples’ suite that comes replete with steam room, Agape bath tubs and opium bed for you to lounge about on. It also offers an alternative form of relaxation: yoga classes on the outdoor patio amidst lush greenery, which are just as effective in destressing fatigued minds, bodies and spirits.
Thoroughly relaxed, you can then adjourn to Dolce Vita, the hotel’s fabulous Italian restaurant, or any of its other fine restaurants, for a quiet meal. The perfect end to a delightful day indeed.
