Heavenly Spa, Westin Langkawi

After our quick lunch in Kuah Town, we returned the car rental to the company and requested them to send us back to the hotel which is only 3 minutes drive. Kind enough they were voluntary sending us back.

We pack our swim suit; get ready to attend our Spa appointment which has scheduled at 1pm. When we reached the lobby, the buggy was ready to send us their Heavenly Spa.

When we reached the Heavenly Spa, it doesn’t give me the impression like what I had in Pangkor Laut Resort. Anyway, I told myself, I shouldn’t keep benchmarking Spa Village of Pangkor Laut Resort. I should start fresh in my mind that this could be another round of heaven service.

We chose the Heavenly Package that costs RM460 for about 2.5hours. And this package is consists of Luxury Kese (75mins) and their famous Heavenly Massage (80mins).

Luxury Kese is actually a traditional Turkish Hamam bathing treatment designed to deeply exfoliate the skin leaving it soft, smooth and radiant. The ritual begins with kese scrubs followed by a natural olive soap body cleanser. ~ Heavenly Spa, Westin Langkawi.

Heavenly Massage is a delicacy sensory experience. It started with a soothing heat pack to release tensions, followed by a delightful aromatherapy remedy. It’s a massage from head to toe. ~ Heavenly Spa, Westin Langkawi.

Luxury Kese will be held outdoor where we lied down on a ‘marble bed’ and the therapist will help to scrub all over our body even our toe. But if this is Turkish Hamam bath, that should be some kind of steam bath that we’ll be having. This is what I read from Wikipedia. But this doesn’t happen to us, as the therapist only scrub our body and using warm water to wash out the dirt or whatsoever.

We took it as a different experience apart from Spa Village.

After that, they will lead us to a room where we could relax for about 10 to 15 minutes after the bath. Then after, we’ll proceed with the Heavenly Massage.

I saw them heat up the massage oil, if am not mistaken its lavender oil. Lavender oil has the effect of tranquilizing or calming a person’s stress, tensions, and so on. They will start from toe and all the way up to our shoulder and neck, that took about 80 minutes for the entire process.

Many will fall asleep when massage took place, cuz, it really relaxing a person’s body and mind. It helps a lot when a person under tremendous stress. When we were done with that, the therapist advised us not to bath for at least 30 minutes, let the oil stay still on our body. So that it continues to calm down a person’s mind.

They also offer pre-natal massage to pregnant women as well, according to them, it’s a very soft touch and also it helps pregnant women to ease their mind.

Personally, I still find Spa Village has the better treatment compared to Westin, and of course not to miss their Malay Bath, Japanese Bath, Herbal Warm Bath, Shanghai Scrub and Foot Pounding. And all these are complimentary for any guests that enrol any treatment in Spa Village. But, in Westin, nothing was given complimentary. So sad.

Anyway, we both really had a good relax one though this is a different experience for us.

Hey, do have one if you've longed for one for yourself. It's relaxing. If you plan for holiday try on Pangkor Laut Resort's package.

Pls do not mistaken that am the ambassador for them. But, it's really good. :)

I heard it's even better than Rasa Sayang.
