A regenerating day at the spa is always welcome after a week of hard work. Lay back at the Spa Oasis at The Grand, New Delhi as you melt away from all the tensions of your daily life. Replete with a fully stocked gymnasium and a swimming pool which is aesthetically built giving you corners of privacy. One of the oldest standing spas in the city, Oasis may not look over the top but the services will blow your mind out. With separate male and female sections with four rooms in each, the Spa Oasis covers the whole gamut of services with rooms for the dry Thai massages and the elaborate Ayurveda rituals.
We check into the spa after a hectic week of residency. The treatment on schedule is a Rejuvenation Half Day Package (INR 7000) which comprises of a Hot Stone Massage Therapy and a Hydrating Facial to replenish the moisture on the manly skin. A cosy therapy room with a small shower in the corner and cupboards for hanging up your clothes. Now before I venture further, let me warn you that if you are going in for a Hot stone massage, ask for the most experienced therapist as working with these is an art in itself.
The Hot Stone therapy starts off with dry Thai stretching techniques and a massage with warm Olive Oil. My therapist Elina spreads out the oil with bending her fingers a bit as it stimulates the blood circulation to the skin leaving it supple. It is followed with application of heated asphalt stones. Let it be at a temperature where it stings, but just lightly. That’s just the correct temperature of the stones that you should be applying. The stones impart a heat that slowly loosens up all those tense knots. Elina also imparts a number of diagonal stretches to free up the muscles even more. A flatter stone is used to roll over the stretched muscles so as smoothen them out.
The facial is taken over by Twinkle as she scrubs, moisturizes and applies a pack on my face. We start off with a cleansing regimen so as to block out the effects of the pollution followed by a scrub to get rid of all the dead cells with a separate one for the nose. But she reserves her best for a vibratory face massage which relaxes you completely. She stretches the skin to smoothen out the wrinkles and the lines and finishes off by a moisturising pack with a cooler one for the under eye circles.
So, next time you plan for a day of relaxation, Check yourself into the Spa Oasis for your dose of rejuvenation. You can book your appointment here.
