LeSpa at Sofitel: The Ultimate Luxury and Serenity Spa

Lifestyle & Places Trending & Features March 21, 2012

When in Manila, there are times that you’d simply want to escape from the taxing demands of your job or the mundane rhythm of life.  When that happens, there’s one very tranquil place in which you can take refuge.  Nothing beats an afternoon of pampering in LeSpa at Sofitel Philippine Plaza — the most luxurious haven in Manila.  

 

LeSpa at Sofitel is a wellness sanctuary nestled in the Plaza level of Sofitel Philippine Plaza.  It’s just a few steps away from the lush landscaped garden Sofitel Philippine Plaza takes pride in. When I got to LeSpa, I immediately felt relaxed as I was embraced by the earth-tone hallway with rows of cushioned sofas and layers of pillows.

As I waited for my Filipino Pride treatment in LeSpa at Sofitel, a pleasant lady served me a pot of Mango Berry Tea.  This tea has a tropical blend of mango, strawberry, and raspberry.  It was indeed a sweet refreshing way to start my hour in heaven.

After savoring my last drop of tea, I was asked to fill up the Reservation and Customer Information Card.  This card records the client’s contact details, health history and treatment record.   I guess it’s LeSpa’s way to know me and provide the best treatment suitable for me.

After filling out the card, I was led to one of the most luxurious rooms I’ve seen in my entire life.  It was actually my first time to see a private steam room, a tempting free-standing bathtub, a couple of clean massage tables and some cushioned seats all in one room.   (This Le Spa at Sofitel‘s treatment room can actually be a good benchmark for a dream house.  Pin it now on your Pinterest board.)  Oh, how I wish to go back there and unwind in that tub filled with bubbles all day long.

What I got to try was an hour of Filipino Pride (Php 3,070) that delightfully combines Swedish, Shiatsu, Thai and reflexology massages.  According to LeSpa at Sofitel, this is a great traditional treatment to relieve muscle tension and re-energize after strenuous sports activities.  I applaud my therapist, Carol, for the extremely relaxing massage.  I’ve tried several other massages throughout the years.  Some left me a couple of bruises.  Others tickled me to no end.  But Carol was able to adjust the pressure perfectly to my taste.   

 

 I’m not sure if it was Carol’s kneading technique or the floral aroma in the room, but the whole experience took me on a sensuous journey to some place with a wide bed of green grass and a flowing clear serene river.

My Pinoy Pride treatment ended with two sticks of cool tropical fruits dipped in cream.   Yum!

 

Once you’ve decided to take time off to pamper yourself, have it in LeSpa at Sofitel, the ultimate luxury and serenity spa when in Manila!
