Do you ever feel the need to take a back seat in life? Maybe take a chill pill and indulge in pampering yourself like a diva/dude shamelessly? Well, that was just my mood when I sauntered into Sawadhee Spa plonking all my worries, stresses and deadlines at its doorstep! What completely swept me off my feet was the becalming ambience and the oriental decor that instantly transcends one to the “Land of Smiles”- Thailand.

The assortment of awards framed on the wall assured me that I was going to have an outstanding experience. In 2018,  it won eight awards – “Certificate of Excellence” for the year 2018 from TripAdvisor, Geospa AsiaSpa Award 2017 for “Most Luxurious Spa” (Day), Geospa AsiaSpa Award 2017 for “Best Spa Interiors” (Day), Excellence Awards’ 2018 (by ASSOCHAM) for “Best Stand-Alone Luxury Spa” ,Delhites Lifestyle Awards 2018 for “Spa of the Year” and more.

Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of Vasant Kunj, Sawadhee Spa is like an oasis of tranquillity amidst the din and chaos. After a soothing cup of warm rhododendron tea, I was offered a wide variety of therapeutic massage oils and scrubs to choose from. In the mood to sink into a blissful experience, I chose the “relaxing” oils and the opulent red wine scrub. The therapists are well trained and polite with a calm disposition. The soft spoken Jojo was my therapist that day and she led the way up the stairs.

The sprawling property is the biggest stand-alone spa in Delhi covering an area of 6000 square feet  and houses seven single and two couple rooms bedecked with jacuzzi, steam room and a shower area. The royal experience started immediately with a foot scrub in a rose-petalled urn, followed by an hour of magical massage strokes that instantly diluted all the tiredness from my aching body. The calmness and dim hue of the aromatic candles soothed my frayed senses. A hissing steam room to soak in the oils thereafter was followed by the red wine scrub for a sweet-scented, glowing skin. A quick shower and then a dip into the blossom-filled jacuzzi bath completed my ethereal experience. Honestly, I felt nothing short of royalty.  

With the season of love ringing in the air, the ideal couple package – “A Fine Romance” is the perfect gift to give to the one you love. A different way to celebrate from the usual dinner dates that one goes on Valentine’s day or an anniversary, the intimate experience gives a chance to relax for two and a half hours in a romantic setting and includes a steam bath, aromatic body bliss massage and a choice of full body scrub and a jacuzzi experience for the couple. Just as you immerse yourself in the ultimate lap of luxury you can let the heart resonate with the sentimental lyrics of John Denver’s beautiful Annie’s song, “You fill up my senses”

“You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again………..
