Spas
Health and wellness has been
very much a part of Eastern
culture since time immemorial.
In Malaysia, influences from
various ancient therapies have
been infused with modern spa
therapies in a designer
ambience, offering you a
delightful experience.
Here, one can find age-old
Javanese beauty and wellness
regimens, ancient Ayurvedic
treatments from India, and
reflexology, acupressure and
Shiatsu practices founded in
China, among others. Masseurs
are well-trained and have a
deep understanding of the
human body, dispensing herbal
recipes for baths, massage
oils and scrubs.
Set against lush tropical
backdrops, and presented with
nutritious and detoxifying
fresh fruits and herbal
drinks, most of these luxury
spas are also equipped with
jacuzzis, steam rooms, saunas,
swimming pools and double
baths. While there has
recently been an influx of
designer spas in the capital
of Kuala Lumpur, most spas are
tucked away in resorts,
nestled in lush rainforests or
overlooking the lapping
seashore.
While regular medical
check-ups take care of our
physical health, some suggest
that regular spa sessions not
only enhance our emotional and
mental well-being but also
serve as oil would to a
well-functioning machine.
Malaysia provides a serene and
picturesque backdrop for the
health rituals that are among
the oldest in the world.
