Amaltas Spa at Anya Hotel- An amazing Experience!!September 9th, 2014 by Sumita Roy

My Visit to the Amaltas Spa, located in Hotel Any a, was deeply energising. Their USP is the use of the

famous L’occitane products (from France) for all skin therapies. Though there was some

miscommunication about the appointments initially , it was soon dealt with.

As one enters the Spa y ou are greeted with soothing interiors especially designed by Sandeep Khosla.

The colour play of light y ellow and cream is beautifully offset by the lights creating a relaxing

atmosphere and giv es the place a Mediterranean v ibe. The interiors are at par with any 5 star hotel

spa. And the plus point is that they are not as expensiv e. The display of La’occitane products has the

place of pride and one can’t help but notice them.

Their menu is v ery comprehensiv e and all encompasses

ev ery thing from full body massages, to manicure, pedicure

and ev en facials. It also includes v arious body wraps which

help in nourishing and firming of the body . If one is

suffering from localised pain then they can av ail of their

area specific treatments. These include treatments for ey es,

back, shoulders, head and neck and feet. Clients are asked to

fill a form before beginning any procedure. To our

satisfaction, the staff actually diligently went through the

form and special attention was giv en to the issues mentioned therein.

The staff was cordial and well trained. The herbal tea serv ed was light and appeasing. I enjoy ed the

neck and shoulder massage. The herbal oils used were lightly fragrant and were not ov er powering.

The pillow mist helps one relax sooner. Howev er I felt that the duration could hav e been a little longer

than 30 minutes- may be 45. The massage was energising and the pressure was just right. My

compliments to the masseur!

My friend opted for the Amaltas Awakening which is one

of their signature ay urv edic massages. It incorporates

amaltas oil in the procedure and is useful as a metabolic

booster as well as for pain relief. The therapist, Mercy was a

delightful person to deliv er the treatment. The smile on her

face nev er left and she may appear delicate but her strokes

were firm, and really enhanced the process. My friend

actually felt rejuv enated after the treatment. The amaltas

awakening starts with relaxing the feet with lav ender

foam. After which the client is massaged for 60 minutes. The hour long kneading of muscles with firm

strokes stimulates circulation and remov es any stress from both the mind and body . They also hav e

two couple’s suites with bathtubs for that relaxing soak after the massage.

The Spa manager Mr. Suy ash Singh is a knowledgeable and pleasing personality . Not only does he

keep a track of the competition, but is also well aware about other aspects of liv ing a healthy lifesty le.

One can actually sit back and chat with him as y ou wait for y our turn. His calm demeanour giv es

y ou confidence that he is on top of the things and that y ou are in the right hands.

In the city of GURGAON, Amaltas is the only L’occitane Spa

and one of the v ery few walk in spas. More often than

not, spas in hotels are meant only for their own guests. This

is a welcome change. Definitely worth a v isit! Though at

present, the approach to the hotel is little cumbersome

because of all the digging happening on the golf course road

but once y ou are in y ou will just soak in the peace and quiet

and forget all about it! .

A word of caution, doors of solid wood are pretty heav y and not easy to push/pull!
