The Spa

Fancying a royal treatment? 

The SPA is the place to be as it offers luxury pampering & rejuvenation. With its wide array of whole body & wellness treatments and variety of massages & packages, you can definitely find one that best suits you.

At their branch at Rockwell, only Suites & Villas are available so you can expect a very spacious room all to yourself. Inside the room, you can either choose to have a Jacuzzi Bubble Bath or a Steam Bath plus a shower. Toiletries such as shampoo/conditioner, body wash, lotion, powder, cotton buds and brush, hair dryer, bathrobes, towels, disposable undies and shower caps are also provided. Allotted time for the use of these wet areas is 15 minutes.

We tried the Aromatherapy Massage (use of fragrant oil) with choices of either Shiatsu (finger pressure & stretching techniques), Swedish (flowing strokes) or Combination. Duration for this massage is 60 or 90 minutes. 

Their best seller is the Traditional Hilot (touch therapy) which uses virgin coconut oil and banana leaves. Duration for this massage is 75 minutes.

After a relaxing retreat, we treated ourselves to a hearty snack at Rustan's Supermarket at Rockwell's basement.
