I am really excited to tell you all that I am going on a mini-vacation, but to know where, you will have to wait for my social media posts. I was just busy packing when I realized I had a couple of posts to complete, especially a Spa experience which I had had few days back.

I have been to Quan Spa at JW Marriott Aerocity New Delhi for their launch and had availed a Foot massage there which was really relaxing. But the location being quite far from my place, I could never visit it again for a proper spa.

So last weekend, after a tiring week, when I got an opportunity to experience their special Monsoon treatments, I was really excited.. After all, who doesn't love a pampering spa after a long, dull week?

So on a pleasant Sunday afternoon I visited Quan Spa at JW Marriott for a rejuvenating spa ritual. The spa attendant gave me a complete tour of the property and told me about the rituals available for the Monsoon season that were exclusively designed to pamper the body and mind in this gloomy weather.

Spa room where I went through the ritual

I was guided to the spacious Spa room by the therapist who gave me some time to change into the disposable lingerie and bathrobe provided in the wardrobe inside the spa room. The spacious spa room also has a shower room and includes basic amenities like shower cap, body lotion, hair dryer etc.

The therapy started with a foot cleansing in rose water and then a Body polish. The pleasant music playing in the background perfectly set up my mood for a relaxing session.

The therapist used one of the soothing and richly nourishing products from the Aromatherapy Associates London range to exfoliate my skin. After a 30 minutes of exfoliation, the therapist gave me some time to take a shower to wash off the excess polish. The body polish made my skin very radiant and smooth after the first part of my spa.


The second part of the ritual included the Hot Stone Massage for which the therapist used a therapeutic oil from the Aromatherapy London range with a relaxing massage to reduce stiffness and soreness from my body. While massaging my back, the therapist particularly mentioned about the stiffness in my upper back, which I think is what all of us working women suffer who have long sitting jobs.

Smooth, warmed stones were used for the massage to relax the muscles and calm the senses and I actually felt asleep for a while during my spa, which made me realize how effective the hot stones were- in soothing my mind and body.
To my relief, the temperature of the stones was warm enough to work effectively in reducing muscle stiffness, without causing any burning sensation.

At the end of the ritual, the therapist used a soft towel to wipe off the extra oil and moisturized my skin with a body butter.

I have never had experienced Hot Stone Massage before, but truly this was the best and one of the most luxurious spa experiences I have ever had. Especially, because while other massage therapies usually just pamper your senses, the Hot Stone therapy really helped reduce stiffness from my body and relieve the back pain that I often experience.

Quan Spa also offers other amazing treatments like Abhyanga, Deep Tissue massage, Detox & Revive, facial treatments, bath therapy, Couple's spa ritual and many more, that would help you unwind and calm your body and soul.

After a long, tiring week I decided to visit the spa located at Anya Hotel in Gurgaon on a Saturday and was welcomed by a soothing and delightful ambiance.
