U Sante Spa- U Tropicana Alibag

Hello,

Holidays are all relaxing and your hair down. For me a holiday is not complete without a good full body massage. So while we were spending time in lush greens of Alibag and enjoying the pool at U-Tropinaca where we were staying, we thought of of checking out their U Sante Spa.
Located in the middle of this beautiful U shaped Property is U Sante Spa that offers luxury Spa facilities with private treatment rooms and massage therapies that embrace the most effective Indian & Asian style of massage to promote a sense of well being and nurture the spirit.

As I walked upto the Spa, a refreshing lemongrass fragrance welcomed me. We had booked our appointment a day before so staff was all ready to pamper us!

We were seated and one of the masseuse came to pick up our shoes and were given soft towel slippers.
Then the receptionist quickly briefed us through different massages.

U Sante Spa is a complete toast of health with its three signature messages:
1. Traditional Balinese (45 minutes)
2. Lomi Lomi Massage (60 minutes)
3. Aroma Therapy ( 60 Minutes, 90 minutes)

The spa also offers other treatments like foot therapy, head therapy, back therapy and beauty treatments like cleanups, facial etc, but all I wanted was a good full body massage.

Thanks to my work from home life that I love but which leaves me with a lot of back ache and knots in shoulder area, Hard pressure is what I like to go for.
So after discussing the USP's of all massages, I opted for Traditional Balinese massage.
As soon as decided on the massage, we were given care form to make sure that massage is customized as per our problem areas.

We headed towards our massage room which with its dim soothing lights and relaxing fragrance was super welcoming.

After a quick change, we were ready for 75 minutes of mind and body relaxation. My masseuse Leiyachon started the massage by pressing on specific  pressure points on body that immediately has a relaxing effect. Next was a back stretch followed by a dry massage starting from lower back to shoulders and then moving to legs and hands.
The circular movements and hard pressure of the dry massage helped a lot to crack the knots and relived my lower back pain.
The masseuse was very well aware of the pressure points, while she was pressing them hard, there were so many times when I wanted to scream but once done, it felt so good!👌🏻

After around 20 minutes of dry massage, she moved to oil massage. But before that she stretched hands and legs again.

Leiyachon used Lemongrass massage for my body massage. With her big circular strokes she pressed every muscle of my body. As in the care form I mentioned lower back and neck as my problem areas, she paid special attention to them.

As soon as the massage ended, we went to the Steam room and then to the magical Jacuzzi.( one has to pre-book Jacuzzi)
The masseuse helped with we some of the controls and we soaked ourselves in the aromatic warm water. Fresh flowers and bubbles gave me those Disney princess feels . ☺️
After 40 minutes of Jacuzzi fun, we headed for a warm shower. This spa experience replenished all the energy that city life has sucked out.
At the whole, I really enjoyed the massage, loved the Jacuzzi, just wish their steam and shower were a little more spacious.
