Spa Sunday

Friday, January 26, 2007

My brother finally got the gift giving thing right ....the whole kite and plane fiasco is another story ....and got my mom and I vouchers to go to the Angsana Spa at the Vinyard Hotel. So we book ourselves in for full body massages in the same room for last sunday.

We arrived at the spa and disscussed which treatment would best siut what we wanted from the massage. Then we were lead to a seating area in the reception that over looked a cute little fountain which created beautiful soothing sounds.

Moms choice of massage was the Fusion - This clever blend of Thai and Swedish massage techniques is unique to Angsana Spa. Our therapist uses strong palm strokes to deliver the massage while stretching you at various points of the session for maximum impact and complete relaxation that leaves your body satiated. The Invigorating Oil soothes all aches, unblocks stiffness and enhances flexibility.

And my choice was Ibu's secret - Adapted from a traditional Balinese technique, this deep tissue massage uses thumbs and heels to soothe muscle aches, aid blood circulation and relieve tension. The invigorating sensation of this strong massage is enhanced by the warming properties of the Turmeric and Eucalyptus extracts in the Melody Oil.

We then got given "slippers" which mom and i just found hysterical cause they were MILES to big for us! my foot almost went right out the front of then went trying to walk.
We then got lead to the stunning treatment room ....

Then we got our feet and legs rubbed with warm cloths and given a refreshing pink drink. So then it was time to get naked and start the relaxing yet torturous massage. I say this due to the fact that I had picked a deep tissue massage and have the most insane muscle knots all over the place (mostly in my shoulders were I store all my stress) And boy did this little woman with the most insanly strong hands give them such a working ! But despite that and the stiff shoulders that came from it, it was stunning. Being rubbed all over with oil and being massaged was just the best - I definitely think this has to happen more often!

So after the massage they left us along with ginger tea (OMG horrible!!) and water to relaxed and rest which was great so you didnt have to rush off straight after the hour massage. So we got to check out the beautiful view and gardens and I couldnt resist taking some pics...
