Spa and Shop Safari ~Indulgence for the soul

The best way to spend one's birthday is to have a day to yourself doing something you like. Well, that's just what happened to me this year. Firstly, I was in my favourite city, Bangkok. Secondly, I was to spend the weekend there!

Anyway, the day started of with a quick breakfast at Emporium before heading of for a 5 hour treat at Divana Spa.

I found Divana Spa over the internet. The reason I chose it and not Being Spa (which I have know about for a long while) or other hotel-based spas is because their treatments and products looked unique.

In the 5 hours++ we were there, we underwent the Spa Speciality Package which consisted of the following treatments:
Body Brush
Honey - aroma Cover
Herbal Steam
Body Scrub (I chose the Milky Chocolate one and remember at one point dreaming that I was in a vat of milk chocolate!)
Aloe Vera Rub
Body Mud
Body Massage
Bath (we chose the Thai Herbal one)
Anti-stress Facial Massage
Divana Foot Massage

The package also came with a light organic meal at the end consisting of organic salad, selection of sushi and pumpkin soup (which was a little off!) and local Thai orange juice. Throughout the program we were also given pandan water and herb tea at various times.

The Spa itself (we went to the main one at Sukhumvit 25 (behind the Glas Haus) which was a house. The setting was lovely, with lush gardens. The treatment rooms themselves were very welcoming.

The only things that I was a little unhappy about was:
1) in the double treatment rooms, the air cond wasn't powerful enough as the room was larger than the others
2) there is only one toilet in the house and it's downstrairs so if your treatment room is upstairs, then you have to walk down every time you want to go to the toilet

Overall, I had an excellent time though I do think that spending 5 hours was a very long time! I slept through most of it but by the 5th hour while I was having my facial, I admit I was getting a little restless.

The price was very reasonable for the package which was Bt5650 (approx RM560) for everything. If you don't want the organic meal at the end, they will give you an aromatheraphy burner in it's place.

They also own the Nibhana Spa at Lang Suan (Naturaville Apartments) but its more expensive than this one.

Highly recommended!
