Only few places qualify to be branded as a Heavenly Spa byWestin. The first requirement is space. All Heavenly Spas by Westin must offer views, as the visual aspect is placed of high importance. A strict list of requirements needs to be fulfilled to receive the prestigious title to ensure quality across the brand. With its Andaman Sea, rocky cliff views and jungle enclave, The Westin Langkawi Resort and Spa proudly sports the first Heavenly Spa in Malaysia.
Therapists hale from Indonesia, the spa capital of the world, and are regularly trained in a host of internationally themed treatments. From a Malay massage to a Turkish hammam, guests have a wide assortment of therapies from which to choose. Treatment rooms are spacious and include a private bath and dressing area. All have a view to running water either in the form of the sea, pool or pond. Every session is preceded by the Heavenly Spa ritual where guests are handed a small wooden basket and asked to put their worries inside, hence leaving all stresses at the door – a ceremony worthy of bringing back to your home.
A session begins by filling out an information card and choosing from the spa menu while sipping on the tea of the day. The tea of the day is especially brewed with health benefits in mind – each comes with nutritional information and wellness rewards displayed. After being dazzled by the long list of options and consulting with staff, we decided to engage in the Heavenly Massage. Escorted to the couple’s room we were given privacy to change into disposable underwear and position ourselves on the beds. Our next choice was which oil to be rubbed in – White Tea, which is hydrating, Chamomile for relaxation or Green Tea to be energized. Finally, in position, face down, a heated herbal pack was pressed on our backs, the scent and warmth already relaxing body and mind. Long deep strokes designed to drain away tension, improve circulation and energize was the main technique used for this aromatherapy massage. Both hubby and I were impressed with the strength of our petite therapists. Managing to dekink and unknot our tense back and shoulders, we were
very grateful.
very grateful.
Our session ended with a chance to shower if we pleased and, more cups of delicious spa tea. A couple’s package can be conveniently combined with a Spa by Night dinner. The idea of gliding from the spa, to a romantic candle lit dinner with views to sea from the elegant surrounds of the spa patio, was too much for us to say no. Our tranquil dinner experience… coming up in the next post.

Ooooo…I need that!!! Sigh!!!!
I've been in my desk chair way too long today – I want it again too.
my body is very stress now…..
After a long day at work, mine too! I could really do with a Heavenly Sp right now. 🙂
an 'adults-only' pool … that sounds like an invitation for naughty fun, almost! 😀 but wow, what a gorgeous pool indeed…
It does sound a little x rated doesn't it. 😉 Nice to have some peace and quiet though with no energy balls running around.
lovely.. ain't nothing like a good spa to knead the knots out of our weary blogging limbs! LOL
So true!
I have stayed in the Westin in Dubai and this hotel looks as good.
