When endless errands keep you on your toes and life seems all wound up, it’s about time you checked into a spa. All five-star hotels and wellness centres boast of a spa, or at least a home-grown version of it, where exotic scrubs, masks and therapies pamper you to the hilt, leaving you thoroughly relaxed and rejuvenated.

Wallowing in exotica
A spa treatment means setting yourself up for one long cosseting session. Day spas like Amattra use a blend of yoga, ayurveda, aerobics and hydrotherapy techniques to get you glowing. You can opt for a massage or mukara lepa and even a seaweed treatment, mermaid style! Take a mud bath or a dry flotation and try some unique body wraps. Amattra also has a Jacuzzi, gym, health-products boutique, vegan restaurant and an Astroscience consultation on offer.

Experience the healing powers of the Orient: try the papaya body polish or Thai coffee scrub at Spa Oasis. It also offers a Jet lag massage and a Swedish massage to drive away muscle tension and improve circulation. The Asian Roots Luxury Spa—with its Javanese Lulur, hot stone therapies and cosmetic surgeries—is a huge draw. Other popular spas for massages are the Bliss Medi-Spa and the Reeta Juneja Spa. The latter also specialises in aromatherapy, anti-cellulite/chocolate therapy and wine facials … yummy.

For perfect grooming
Want smooth skin or a toned body in no time? Wellness clinics are just the ticket. The VLCC centres have sculpted many a perfect body with their weight-loss and detox programmes, and hair and beauty treatments. Berkowits for a face-lift or acupuncture and Kaya Skin Clinic for that unblemished skin are also popular choices.
