Banyan Tree Spa Bangkok. Banyan Tree Bangkok
Having candle wax poured on the body may sound a bit kinky, but Banyan Tree Spa Bangkok’s new Candle Massage is not about naughty wax play. It’s an impressive ritual to feel blissed out and forget the world.
Created by Banyan Tree Spa Academy to celebrate the Bangkok hotel’s 20th anniversary, the indulgent treatment makes use of the therapeutic attributes of melted soy massage candle, Eastern healing therapies and genuine human touch.
The masseuse gives you a welcoming foot bath/scrub, hand massage and foot massage before diving right into the treatment, in a spacious, tranquil treatment suite featuring flickering candlelight and a night sky fibre optic light ceiling to uplift the mood.
The sublime treatment provides a full dose of relaxing full-body massage throughout 90 minutes. Using flowing strokes with medium to strong pressure customised to your needs, this blissful experience eases tired muscles and melts tension away. The massage techniques work well together with the warm melted candle wax to give relief to tense, tired and painful muscles. While the mild lavender scent soothes and calms, the melted wax becomes a buttery balm offering intense moisture and rich nourishment for the skin.
Enjoy post-treatment refreshments and lounge in the relaxation area to get totally recharged and ready for the city’s hustle and bustle.
The new treatment not on the menu yet but spa-goers can take joy in this celebratory indulgence from now until Nov 30 at a special price of 4,500 baht (from 6,120 baht).
