Once you’re robed and hydrated with a cooling peppermint tea, the masseuse
will ensure everything is to your satisfaction before the treatment begins. From
the room lighting and temperature to your preferred scents, your private room
is a customised haven for the next 90 minutes. The treatment begins with a
dry massage over a thin sheet: 10 minutes of long strokes coupled with guided
breathing directives; it’s a quick way to loosen the limbs.
The next 60minutes are dedicated to soothing and relieving tension from top to
toe. Each part of the body is isolated and kneaded with a rose and pomegranate
scented balm, followed by long strokes using warm “moon stones”. The treatment
combines a few traditional Asian therapeuticmethods: the long strokes are typical
of Javanese techniques, while Chinese tui na focuses on specific pressure points
to release built-up tension. Stretching elements, typical of Thai massage, are also
brought in at times – legs and arms are tugged, folded and pushed to their limits
for maximum benefit. The warm stones are left just below the shoulder blades,
while the final 15 minutes are dedicated to the head and neck, and delicately
massaging an organic serum into the scalp and through the hair.
Afterwards, you’re escorted to a relaxation area stocked with snacks and
sound-wave lounge chairs. Enjoy a magazine and ginger tea while your skin
continues to absorb the nutrients.
