Quan Spa: Get Hot Stone Therapy in Mumbai
The hustle and bustle of Mumbai can be exhausting, so I’m always on the lookout for new ways to recharge. During my recent stay with Westin Mumbai, I was delighted to discover the in-house wellness centre – “Quan Spa”. This isn’t your typical spa – Quan Spa draws from traditional therapeutic methodologies to offer calming aromatherapies, scrubs, body wraps, and intriguing Ayurvedic treatments. The name “Quan Spa” comes from a Chinese phrase that means “Spring”, and here, that’s exactly what they’re promoting – a renewal of your body, mind, and spirit.
I was feeling worn out, so I decided to treat myself to the ultimate relaxation experience – a 60-minute aromatherapy session, followed by a Hot Stone massage at my request, from the renowned Quan Spa. As I stepped into their spacious and tranquil lounge, I could already feel the calming atmosphere that surrounded me. In no time at all, I had filled out their pre-spa questionnaire, which provided my therapist with the necessary information so they could select the right creams, oils, and massage techniques to help me truly unwind.
The journey to relaxation and renewal begins at Quan Spa at Westin Mumbai! Here, you can harmonise your energies and achieve maximum Nirvana with the expertly integrated “wellness concepts” of East and West. On my visit, I was taken on a blissful retreat, starting in a locker room where I was given a robe and a special locker for my possessions. My customised massage was an absolute delight, as the skilled therapists provided individualised care that left me feeling balanced and recharged.
I was finally able to make my Spa experience one to remember after the robe-changing procedure and waiting in the fountain-facing lounge for a short period of time. And then came the ‘elation’ of entering the room where my therapist was waiting! The sixty minutes that followed were an absolute luxury. I lay down on my stomach and the masseur began to work on my knotted and sore muscles. Ahh, what a blissful and heavenly experience!
She began her massage of my overtired legs with her healing touch, easing away every ounce of tension from my physical life. Then she cautiously moved onto my back and shoulder muscles, inquiringly asking me at every step about my pain threshold. This aromatherapy treatment combined with a 30-minute back and neck “Earth & Ocean Hot Stone massage” offered the ultimate in relaxation. To induce an even “deeper muscle” relaxation, my therapist used smooth, water-heated stones along my spine to my neck. She believes the stones’ direct heat helps her to reach the deepest of muscle levels, thus locating and curing the stress areas.
The Westin Mumbai and Quan Spa offer the perfect remedy to melt away stress – the hot stone massage. I was captivated by the luxurious, therapeutic effects of the essential oils and volcanic basalt stones, which worked wonders on my body and mind. This massage not only felt like an instantaneous relaxation for my body, but it also increased my blood circulation and metabolism, leading to an overall sense of rejuvenation. If you’re looking for a way to restore your vitality, the hot stone massage should be at the top of your list. Experience its power for yourself, and you’ll be left feeling thoroughly relaxed and refreshed.
The masseuse finished off the hour with a gentle pat on my shoulder and I was on my way. I had a steam and sauna session booked next, but I decided I’d rather take a long, hot bath in the tub. As I showered off the massage oil, its aroma stayed with me for days. I slept like an angel for the next three days and felt like I was floating on a cloud. I can’t wait to come back for an even more relaxing experience with Shirodhara.
