On my arrival at the Heavenly Spa at The Westin City Centre Hotel Bahrain, I was very warmly greeted by Ferdinand, spa and recreation manager, and ushered into the Relaxation Room for a fresh ginger tea to relax. I was then directed to the changing room to don the attire for my ASPIRE Massage where diverse techniques are customised to answer one simple question – how do you want to feel? And it’s here that my magical experience began.
I was introduced to my therapist, Sheila, and walking along the candlelit corridor to the treatment room had a lovely, peaceful and calming effect. Entering the room, my initial observation was the amazing fragrance of the White Tea Oil, which permeated throughout and is the spa’s signature scent.
Sheila checked that the temperature, music and lighting were to my liking, as all can be adjusted/changed to the client’s desire. She asked my preference as to the pressure – soft, medium or strong – I chose medium. Each massage is tailor-made for the client and Sheila checked if I had any type of pain or tension in my muscles or joints that she should be aware of. I was in expert hands.
Sheila applied White Tea Oil to my body for my ASPIRE Massage, which lasted for 60 minutes. With the beautiful scent wafting through the room, I have to say it was 60 minutes of pure bliss, wonderful stimulation and relaxation. I felt totally energised; I was in pure heaven.
Sheila manipulated all the soft tissues of my body, which helps to relieve pain, improve circulation, alleviate stress, increase relaxation and aid in the general wellness and maintenance of the body. Right through the session, I was asked if everything was to my satisfaction. I have to say that this was the best massage I’ve ever had. On my departure, I was presented with a special Mother’s Day Tiramisu cake, which was delicious.
The Westin City Centre Hotel has a very special offer for Mother’s Day, which falls on March 21. It is BD75+++ for the Westin Deluxe Room and includes a sumptuous breakfast for two at Furn Bistro. The ‘Mother’s Day’ rooms are laden with an array of fresh fruits and chocolates. All the rooms at the hotel have ‘Westin Heavenly Beds’ and pillows, which are standard to the group worldwide. If you have a preference for a particular pillow type, such as memory foam etc, just let the hotel know in advance.
There is a 50 per cent discount for the mother when she dines with the family, minimum of three guests, across the hotel’s restaurant outlets during Mother’s Day. She can also take advantage of a 50 per cent discount for a cut and blow dry at the Leuer Hair Salon in the spa area. A 20 per cent discount on other spa treatments is extended to her family on the same day as her spa treatment with 10 per cent off on spa retail products. A wonderful idea would be to have a family spa-bonding day.
For the Mother’s Day Bliss Special, Heavenly Spa is offering a 60-minute, full-body Rejuvenating Candle Massage, which features shea butter and soy. This is an excellent way to nourish, help muscle tension, relax and release all that stress that is built up in our bodies. It is also anti-ageing and encourages skin cell regeneration.
