Long for a hiatus from a frenetic lifestyle? Keen on rejuvenating a tired mind and body? Or, simply feel like pampering yourself crazy? A retreat to a spa is just the ticket.

Pamper yourself to the hilt

Mumbai’s spa circuit
Notching up your wellness quotient through its therapies is one of India’s first urban spas and fitness centres, Club Prana of Hyatt Regency (Andheri E). Aromatherapy, hot stone and deep-tissue massages, natural scrubs and thermal wraps bring back your glam quotient. Totting this up are the tempting sauna, Jacuzzi and health bar, providing a complete nourishment package for your mind, body and soul, leaving you truly sated.

For the city’s pareshan aatma, The Oberoi Spa (Nariman Point) and Fitness Centre is the ultimate refuge. Treat your aching joints with a hot stone massage, blending Ayurvedic techniques with stone-based therapy. The aromatic Balinese massage recreates the whiff of a rich tropical forest in all its exotic splendour. The Hawaiian massage, involving a rhythmic use of the palms and elbows, is not bad either. Also on offer are a range of grooming facilities that promises you a detoxified body and rejuvenated soul.

All the therapy programmes at JW Marriott’s Quan Spa (Juhu Tara Rd.) successfully combine Ayurveda and traditional spa techniques to retain the harmony of the five natural elements—fire, water, air, earth and space. Go for the Thelgo treatment that uses marine ingredients like algae and pure sea salts, leaving you completely refreshed.

If you are at Esprit Spa, Le Royal Meridien (Andheri E), try its Pranaswastika package for a truly transcendental experience! And Taj Spa of Taj Mahal Palace and Tower (Colaba), with its range of exotic scrubs and wraps, is sure to rev up your energy levels and bring about a natural glow to your skin.

Spa therapies are meant to maximise the energy flow and restore the natural balance of the body, proving to be the ultimate ambrosia for the ailing frame and the weary soul!
