Our review:
As someone who’s always on-the-go, we like that 60 minutes is all we needed for the ultimate relaxation in this “concrete jungle” right here in KL. Upon entering, we were greeted with calming scents and soft lighting, immediately setting a relaxing tone. Warm faces greeted us and a therapist took the time to discuss our specific needs and preferences, making it a personalized experience.
Services: The spa menu is diverse, featuring a variety of treatments from massages to facials, each tailored to cater to individual needs. The signature treatments are particularly noteworthy, often incorporating unique local elements. Guests can opt for specialty massages and body treatments tailored for your ‘Inner Glow’, facials to boost your ‘Outer Glow’, and if you have extra time to spare, post-treatment offerings from the ‘After Glow’ menu.
Ambiance: The design is sleek and contemporary, with comfortable lounging areas and private treatment rooms. The attention to detail creates a serene environment, perfect for unwinding.
Facilities: The spa typically includes amenities like saunas, steam rooms, and relaxation lounges, enhancing the overall experience. Many locations also offer post-treatment refreshments, allowing guests to extend their relaxation.
Overall Experience: The full body signature massage targeted our aching muscles. We could feel the effects kicking in when the masseuse began increasing the pressure and stretching to enhance blood circulation. Although more force was used around the neck and shoulder blades, no harm was done. We felt the “knots” loosen up and rejuvenate after the 1-hour session.
AWAY Spa isn’t just a place—it’s an experience. Whether you’re in for a quick pick-me-up or a full day of pampering, AWAY Spa delivers a perfect blend of luxury and comfort, making it a great choice for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle.
