It’s been a while since I got myself a beauty or wellness treatment. So, when I got an invite from Aldous in Antara Wellness Spa in Manila, I was overjoyed… overjoyed at the fact of de-stressing by having a massage. Based on research, massage therapy helps to reduce stress, anxiety, and chronic back pain. Luckily, I have all those mentioned so this treat was really “sulit” for me.
The Antara Wellness Spa, located in between the border of Manila and Makati, has a concept of Indochina so it did not come as a surprise to me when the praying-Buddha-statue hailed me as I entered the spa. The place is dim with draping curtains within the waiting area.

I had Antara Signature Massage and I can say that this one is truly special because the masseuse has her routine that I don’t usually get from the other spas I tried. I asked the masseuse and she said that Antara Signature Massage is a combination of Swedish, Thai, and Shiatsu. Back in the day where I had the luxury of going to the spa regularly, I usually get the Swedish massage to feel relaxed. It’s just oil and strokes so that explains why I like Swedish. Thai massage surely makes me feel that my muscles loosen up because of all the stretching but I just really feel tired after. Shiatsu, on the other hand, is all about pressure points. It feels great that Antara had these three kinds of massage in one service. Lastly, they gently whipped me the bamboo sticks before the session ended. By the way, the yellow and green ones are hot packs which are also included in their Antara Signature Massage.

Four of their seven scents were showed to us for the dead sea salt scrub treatment. More often, the guests choose the strawberry scent. Lavender is also a great choice if the guest wanted to have a more soothing feeling!

It’s amazing that this green water where my new-found friend had her feet soaked became gel-like after a few minutes. Please see the picture below. I cannot entirely get into details but as I know, it’s a way of detoxifying.
