The Palms Spa

Tucked away inside one of South Mumbai’s Art Deco buildings, this spa is surrounded by lush gardens. All the massages, body scrubs and facials are done by therapists from Thailand and use products from the French company Sothys, which is known for its range of aromatherapy oils. The menu offers everything from Thai and Balinese massages to scrubs in luscious combinations such as mandarin and mango, and lemon grass and green tea. Tired tourists can also opt for the jet lag package, which includes a body scrub and massage; or go the flowery way with or the lavender four stage special or the Japanese-inspired, five-step cherry blossom and lotus escape ritual.
