Leave the weight of the digital world by the door and slip into zen mode, in the heart of KL.

Serenity is in season, and it’s calling out to the best of us. Situated in the heart of the city centre, Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur is the perfect respite from the bustling city. Exchange your power suit for a plush white robe, and let go of your urban baggage at the Banyan Tree Spa. With four couple treatment rooms available at the spa and an extensive menu of traditiona­l, fusion, and bespoke body treatments, expect a private experience that promises peace of mind for the weary soul.

Utilising non-clinical and holistic approaches, Banyan Tree Spa’s highly skilled therapists are well-versed in a tender touch that is based on traditiona­l Asian healing techniques. Combining the use of aromatic oils, herbs, and spices, the spa’s unique signatures will also help you regain harmonious balance, inside and out.

DREAM TREATS

For a traditiona­l take, consider the Sense of Place – Malaysian Bliss retreat. Featuring a refreshing body scrub and a signature Nusantara massage that combines kneading techniques and thumb pressure to relieve tension, Sense of Place – Malaysian Bliss is perfect for those who spend too much time hunched over their laptops or phones—we’re all guilty. Then, let the luxurious goat milk face mask restore youthful glow to the skin, followed by a scalp massage. Finally, for the perfect finishing touch, a calming Jasmine green tea bath soothes the mind, body, and soul, as you slip into the ultimate state of relaxation.

Another signature, the Royal Banyan, combines the best of both worlds in one sensorial experience, with Eastern and Western massage techniques at the helm of this 150-minute treatment. The highlight? A warm herbal pouch dipped in sesame oil, placed on the body with adequate pressure, aids in improving blood circulatio­n and easing muscle aches. For personalis­ed head-to-toe pampering, BAZAAR loves the Master Therapist Experience, where your needs come first, completely customised and carefully curated, using a restorativ­e combinatio­n of massage techniques and innovative tools.

BLISSFUL EXTRAS

Banyan Tree Spa’s all-encompassi­ng services don’t end there. Thinking about an uber-luxe facial that’s fit for a queen? The Premium Caviar Treat, an indulgent facial, aims to smooth away fine lines using 100 percent caviar and pearl extracts, and also restores vitality by increasing skin oxygen levels. End the spa day with a body polish, and leave feeling wrapped in pure relaxation.

Step into the transquil environs of Banyan Tree Spa, and lose yourself at this rare relaxing escape in the bustling city. Whether you choose to stay the night in Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur or return home, a state of pure bliss awaits.
