India Spa Week 2016
India Spa Week 2016
 
India Spa Week. Thai Pravada Spa, Kolkata
 
     If you are a spa junkie like me you are in for a very special treat! Starting from the 26th of February 2016 going on till the 6th of March you can enjoy the India Spa Week 2016. Spread across 5 cities throughout the country many spas are coming together for this event and letting you experience a relaxing day with special discounted spa packages. You can get services for almost half the usual value with prices ranging from Rs. 600, 1000 and 1500. I got to experience one of the participating spas of Kolkata’s service ie Thai Pravada Spa. I headed down to the Southern Avenue branch which is just above the Bijoligrill restaurant.

Reception
 
     This was my first time visiting the place. When it comes to spa I’m very particular about certain things…I believe that three things are a must for a good spa…it is these aspects of the ambiance of a place which further add to the whole experience. For me a spa must have the three S’s ie Sight, Sound and Smell. Most spas put in a lot of effort for the sight part and Pravada was a treat in this manner. The interiors with the soft muted lights and pretty interiors instantly had a calming effect on me as I stepped in from the bright sun. The spa got ticks on the other S’s too 🙂 I had to wait for a few minutes while the room was prepped for me. I was getting an Aromatherapy massage with oil done.

     The room was quite spacious which I liked. There was a glass shower cubicle to the side. After quick change I was ready for the massage. The masseuse used a combination of cream and oil. There was a sweet citrus smell to what she was using. The massage was a series of pressing, massaging and stretching of different muscles. With some long vigorous strokes she paid some special attention to the areas with cellulite. Overall the massage was energizing rather than relaxing and I liked how loose some of my muscles felt. There was a head massage included in it and I choose the dry version for it aka without oil. A quick warm shower later I was ready to get back to my desk all refreshed and energized.

     There is nothing like a trip to a good spa to lift your spirits and relax your core. It has been a while since I last visited one and I really needed this much deserved trip. Make sometime out and enjoy a good spa date this India Spa Week. Not only are you getting a lovely spa trip but if it comes with some great prices hey that is just another reason to put a spring in anyone’s step 😀 Hop on to India Spa Week’s site when the event starts and you can buy the offer you like from the participating spas across the country. Hope you enjoy your trip! See ya around…
