The Complete Spa Experience

To ensure that your spa experience is a relaxing journey into a different world, we recommend the following:

• Take Time ~ Give yourself plenty of time so you can enjoy the steam and sauna prior to your treatment. This will relax the muscles and aid in the therapeutic benefits of all our treatments and services.
• Shower ~ A quick shower just before your massage or treatment is relaxing and washes off any salts, minerals or chemicals that could clog pores when mixed with oils or other treatment products.
• Treatment Attire ~ You will be given the opportunity to disrobe and cover yourself in privacy. Throughout your treatments, your body will be completely draped. At no time will you be fully exposed.
• Communicate ~ Prior to your treatment, please tell your therapist the areas you would like to focus on and any areas to be avoided. During your treatment, let the therapist know if you feel any discomfort. Communication is the key to getting what you want out of your Oberoi spa experience. Keep in mind that all bodywork is similar to exercise in that, lactic acid and other toxins released from the muscles may cause some soreness for a few days.
• Relax ~ Close your eyes and allow your mind to be free. Breathe deeply and let the tension slip away with each breath. Remember, this time for you.
• Health Matters ~ Please inform us of any health conditions when booking your appointment, for example high blood pressure, heart conditions, allergies or if you are pregnant.
• Home Spa ~ Most of the body and skin care products that we use in our treatments are available for purchase. We encourage you to ask your therapist how to use these products to continue your spa experience at home.
