Whenever I travel, I always make sure to try an authentic spa in a country I’m visiting. Good thing I don’t need to go to back to Indonesia since an Indonesian Spa recently opened here in Manila.
Acintya Indonesian Herbal Spa located in Soho Central Green Field, Mandaluyong is home to hands down the best Indonesian massage I ever had.
|
Acintya Spa has exquisitely designed interiors I felt as if I was back in Indonesia all over again.
|
|
The receptionist, Jasmine, will greet you as soon as you enter the spa and will assist the treatment you want or need
|
|
Remember to call and book an appointment before going in order for you to save your time. It is also recommended to come a few minutes earlier than your scheduled massage.
|
They offer authentic treatments with natural, organic and traditional products made in Indonesia.
|
|
|
Guests can enjoy various Indonesian spa treatments |
|
Lulur is a Javanese word meaning "coating the skin". This is usually done to achieve fair, smooth, soft, and radiant skin. |
|
They also have the Indonesia Royal Pijat or the 4 Hands Massage where two therapists work in unison to relieve your tensions & stretch your muscles, perfectly coordinated on both sides of the body. It's like experiencing 2 massages in one!
|
|
From the reception to its lobby, a customer would know that Acintya Spa is serious about giving its customers a total experience of relaxation which will satisfy both body and mind. |
|
They were kind enough to offer us a pair of uniquely designed slippers to use while waiting in the lobby. |
|
I really love how everything was very organized and neat. Inside, there are cabinets filled with everything you need to clean yourself up before and after the massage.
|
|
Before we started the massage, they have given me three options based on the type of desired oil to utilize during the massage.
|
|
They also sell Minyak Telon Plus. It is an oil that repels bugs and it is very safe that even babies can use it. It's my personal favorite and I always bring it wherever I go. My mom, who is very sensitive to bug bites oftentimes uses it indoors and outdoors because it is very safe and natural.
|
|
I had a lovely turmeric tea before I had my massage |
|
Turmeric has been used for so many centuries for health and beauty purposes, especially in Asian countries |
Their hallway was greatly ornamented with lots of unique designs that originated from Indonesia. As you could see on the top, inverted umbrellas were put up to give the place an Asian feel to it and it shows how resourceful they are in designing.
|
Acintya Spa is the first spa in the country to offer Ratus Wangi V Spa or A Steam wherein it is done by sitting on a chair with a large hole in it while a clay pot filled with hot coals that have been sprinkled with herbs are burning underneath. The herbs are meant to reduce stress, fight infections, regulate menstrual cycles and aid infertility, among many other health benefits. In Indonesia, many women ‘fog’ regularly after their monthly periods.
|
|
The entire duration of the treatment lasts for about 30 minutes. I got scared at first but I really enjoyed the whole experience. You ladies have to try it for sure!
|
|
I had a nice spacious room all to myself. It was very simple with wooden floors and it was very relaxing.
|
|
I tried the Acintya Signature Pijat which is a collaboration between traditional Javanese and traditional Balinese massage for an hour. The masseuse treated me with professionalism. They were trained well on how to massage the right way. With regards to their client interaction, this spa also did great with their service.
|
|
I chose the Ylang Ylang oil which the masseuse liberally applied all over my body. I asked the masseuse for a medium pressure and I doze off instantly during the massage. She was courteous enough to ask if I wanted the oil to be applied in my tummy area. |
|
They gave me a hot towel and a hot water after my massage. The hot towel is to be used in order to take off the excess oil after the massage. |
|
All the massages were very well done, the staff were very professional and they take the art of massaging very seriously.
|
|
The owner of Acintya Indonesian Herbal Spa is a pure Indonesian and also one of my best friends |
|
Yay! I had the most relaxing day! Thank you Acintya! |
