I've been to quite a few spas already. I still feel like trying others but I'm running out of places to go. Places worth trying.
Since I started exploring this amazing spa journey, Im proud to say that I've gone to a few...
1. Khareyana Spa - One of the best places to go. It's a nice spa and the service is good too.
2. Jentayu Spa. This spa is pretty good actually. The treatment was quite alright and the price was reasonable too. Overall it was ok, just that the outdoor area wasnt properly managed. They should beautify the area a bit more.
3. Nexus Karambunai, Sabah
I enjoyed myself in Nexus. The place was beautiful and the spa was quite nice too. I only went for a massage but still got the chance to hang out in the spa.
4. Sembunyi Spa, Cyberview Lodge
I think this is quite a good spa but I didnt have that good of an experience there. But still, I'd go back there for another try.
5. Cameron Highlands Resort Spa
Now this was pretty bad. Spa was beautiful but the treatment, especially the massage was a disaster. Never going back there again.
6. Energy Day SpaThis is my favourite out of all spas I've tried. I love it there. It's nice and cozy and loved the massage and loved the scrub. I cant wait to go back there.
7. Vila Manja
Quite a good spa. I quite like it there.
8. Ozmosis Spa
I'd go back there again. I love the ginger tea. Very nice. Oh, and the treatment was good too! :)
9. Spa Indrani
Not one of my favourite. Didnt like it there although the spa is quite nice.
Dont think I'll be going back there anytime soon.
Wow...almost 10 spas..not bad!
I'm very proud of myself
I can do this full time, anytime

Thai Odyssey
My office is now in One Utama. We moved office in May and everyone is so happy to be so close to One Utama. More places to eat compared to our old office and no more parking issues. I’m just happy that I found a place to have a quick massage over lunch!
I was walking in One Utama one day during lunch and found this place called Thai Odyssey. I love the smell from outside and since my back is aching, I thought it might me a good idea to go for a back massage. Plus, I’ve never had a Thai Massage before.
I decided to go for the 30 minutes back massage.
The place is rather small and compact so there’s no way all their employees could stay in there all at the same time. They called for the masseuse to come and she came after 5 minutes, from god knows where!
I was told to sit on this lazy chair and first she massaged my head and neck. It felt good.
Then she told me to sit on the stool and she started doing her ‘thang’. She was swinging me around and getting me to do all sorts of stretching. It was weird but it felt good.
I was loving it.
30 minutes back massage cost RM40.00. Was it worth it? Hmm… I’m not too sure. It felt good at the time but I was still having back aches and didn’t feel good after the massage.
The place was a bit too small and I wasn’t all that comfortable.
But knowing me, I’d come back again for a quick massage over lunch!

Spa Indrani
I've heard a lot about this spa and wanted to give it a go. I went to Starhill to check it out. See if the place is nice or not first, if not, then I might just pick something else.
Spa Indrani is located on the Pamper Level of Starhill. They have few other Spas there too. When I got there, Spa Indrani was closed. No one was there. It's a bit weird considering it was a Saturday. Shouldnt they be open at this time?
I called them up and was told that they had some major problem at the Spa and had to close it down for a day. I asked if they will be opened tomorrow and he said yes so I decided to make an appointment.
I didnt know what package to go for and the guy on the phone suggested to try the Hangover Package. According to the brochure, this package includes
Refreshing Mint Body Scrub
Eucalyptus Relaxing Foot Bath
Aromatherapy Massage
Head & Scalp Therapy
Indrani Refreshments
Sounds good!
On Sunday, I got a call from them telling me that due to the major problem that they had, the credit card machine is not functioning and they can only receive cash payments. I said ok.
I got there on time for my treatment. I was greeted by the therapist and I think she must have been Indonesian. I was directed to the treatment room. It looks alright, not like what I expected. Minimal decorations and quite a modern feel. The room was quite small.
My treatment started with 15 minutes session in the steam room. The steam room was a bit ‘funky’. One of those portable steam rooms with colourful lightings inside. Then I spent some time in the Hydrotherapy pool and then took a shower before going back to the treatment room.
Next was the massage. 1 half hours of aromatherapy massage. I must say I wasn’t quite impressed with the massage. The therapist had a flu and kept walking in and out of the room. She kept blowing her nose and that made me feel quite irritated. Massage wasn’t even that good. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either. She spent way too much time massaging my legs and not that long massaging my back. The pressure wasn’t that strong and she didn’t bother checking to see if the pressure was ok.
The music was quite loud too. Instead of playing soothing music, they had some jazzy R&B ish type of music playing. Don’t get me wrong, the music was good, part of the reason why I couldn’t fall asleep but it wasn’t very spa’ish kind of song if u know what I mean.
After the massage was the scrub. I think another therapist must have done the scrub for me. Scrub was ok but I wasn’t all that impressed either. Finally, to remove the scrub, I was again directed to the shower room. When I got back to the treatment room, the therapist gave me a foot bath and then the treatment was ok.
I must say I was a bit disappointment with this spa. The treatment wasn’t all that great and I didn’t enjoy my massage. Especially since she kept walking in and out of the room. I think she wasn’t feeling well or something.
Music was a bit distracting too.
After I got dressed and ready, the therapist waited outside and giggling and asked if it was ok to tip her! I mean, come on. What the hell is that? I couldn’t say no could I, so I gave her RM10.00! I didn’t even enjoy the treatment.
In the leaflet that I got, the price for the Hangover Package is RM388 but paid RM446.20 after tax and service charge and all that. Not really worth it I think. And they didn’t even serve refreshments! Even after the session in the steam room!
Im glad I gave this spa a shot but I don’t think I will be coming back.
If you wish to give it a go, here are the details:
Spa Indrani
S20 & 27 Pamper Level
Starhill Gallery
181 Jalan Bukit Bintang

Which Spa?
I'm really running out of spas to try. Do let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions. I am due for my next spa trip in a few days.
I'm thinking either:
1. Spa Indrani in Starhill
2. Swasana Spa in Impiana Hotel KLCC
3. Hammam Spa in Bangsar Village 2
If I must go back to one of the spa's I've tried before, I think I would go back to Energy Day Spa but I think I should try other places first.
I wouldnt mind going back to Ozmosis just to have the Ginger Tea. It was yummy! :)
