Spa Village Tanjong Jara


I was a bit more excited to check out this spa because of its tagline "unmistakably malay". I've always wanted to try malay traditional spa because almost every spa I've gone to is either Balinese or thai type of spa. How come we dont have many Malay/Malaysian type spa?

Anyways...

My package for this trip includes a 50 minutes massage and a snorkeling trip but due to the rain, we were unable to go for the snorkeling and so, they compensated by giving us an additional 150 minutes in the spa. Wow. That's 200 minutes of spa.

1st day I tried the 50 minutes massage. It was a malay traditional massage. The pressure was perfect and the technique was good too. I was in heaven and enjoying it a lot.
Before the massage, I was given a cold herbal type of drink. It tasted like jamu of some sort and it was ok, quite nice. Different from the ginger tea that we always get at almost every spa.

After the drink, it was the mandi bunga or floral bath. That was interesting and a bit funny.
You basically just sit there and they shower you while saying stuff like "happiness to you.....beauty to you..." I wanted to laugh. But the flowers and lime smell was very strong and nice that I decided to go for the bath again the next day.

I love this spa the most out of all the YTL spa village, even pangkor laut. I prefer this one.

I'd come back just for the massage
