Spa Athenee

Spa Athenee is decorated in soft tones using natural materials like wood in an intriguing urban Thai décor style. Each room is private and is designed with complete indulgence in mind. From the treatment beds to the lighting and even the smells, each element is meant to enhance comfort and enjoyment. There are six treatment rooms including one suite for couples with a private jacuzzi. There is also a salon offering manicure, pedicure and hair care.

Decorated with simple elegance and featuring Mandara’s renowned standard of service, combined with the five-star ambience of the Plaza Athenee Bangkok Hotel, Spa Athenee is a unique addition to the city’s urban spa scene. The concept behind Spa Athenee is similar to that of most urban spas: provide a retreat from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. However, it is the spa’s attention to the smallest details and one-of-a-kind service that distinguish it from the rest of the competition.

Professional therapists who must first pass training at the MSpa spa academy administer the myriad of treatments offered here. The chosen brand of products for Spa Athenee is Elemis from the UK, known for its natural extraction process of botanical ingredients. A treatment that uses this product is Elemis Deep Tissue Muscle Massage, which focuses on relieving stress and muscle tension. This treatment can be customised to suit individual needs based on the essential oils selected: a blend of lavender, chamomile, melissa, geranium and bergamot to soothe and relax; lemon, lime, peppermint and grapefruit to uplift and dtoxify; rosemary, juniper, thyme, birch and chamomile to ease away tired muscles; or ylang ylang and geranium, or frangipane to balance the mind and body.

Total relaxation can be easily achieved with the massages. Others include Aromatherapy with a choice of four specially blended oils to be applied by a therapist using a combination of strokes and acupressure techniques. There are also traditional Thai Massage, Head and Shoulder Massage and Oriental Foot Massage, the latter an ancient therapy that makes use of the links between the zones on the feet to specific body parts to treat pain, illness and stress.

Spa Athenee blends traditional knowledge and treatments with the use of modern spa products to address specific requirements in its spa packages. They all include Foot Ritual and refreshments at the end. The spa’s signature package is Athenee Retreat to detoxify and at the same time restore energy levels with Exotic Ginger Body Polish, Exotic Ginger Bath and Energizing Massage. Oriental Healing package involves Thai Herbal Steam and Traditional Thai Massage followed by a soothing Oriental Foot Massage. Joie de Vivre starts off with a shower and Aromatherapy Massage while Elemis products are used in the rejuvenating Elemis Oxygen Skin Facial treatment which wraps up the package. Another interesting offering which is quite unique is the Radiance package with Body Scrub with Black Glutinous Rice, Thai Herbal Steam and Aromatherapy Massage for a full body detoxification and relaxation.

An array of body scrubs and wraps can be experienced besides the treatment packages. The body scrubs are designed to exfoliate dead skin cells to invigorate the skin and rejuvenate its appearance and texture. Spa Athenee Natural ingredients used include black glutinous rice which has enriching vitamin B as well as acts to remove toxins from the skin or a combination of lavender, ginger and orange mixed with fine granules of walnut to make a stimulating scrub.

Body wraps available utilise the beneficial properties of caffeine and coffee extracts to produce a strong vasodilator that stimulates cellular microcirculation to help reduce puffiness and cellulite between connective tissues. In short, it speeds up the burning of fat. Some body wraps make use of sea plants and algae to detoxify, decongest and stimulate cellular growth for a healthier and smoother skin while others like Elemis Exotic Frangipani Body Nourishing Wrap aims at uplifting general vitality and create supple and healthy skin using frangipane flowers soaked in Tahitian coconut oil to produce monoi oil, which is the ultimate skin radiance solution. There are nine facial treatments with each one designed for different skin types, including a facial for men. All are accompanied by pressure point massage.

With its specialised treatments, Spa Athenee offers solutions to those looking for specific spa experiences and above all, issues that are plaguing the urban population. For those looking for a retreat in the heart of town, look no further than Spa Athenee.
