Marina Bay Spa and Lifestyle Club Review
Marina Bay spa and lifestyle club is paving the way we choose to treat ourselves. Only 2 months since its opening and already their collection of spa experiences is unrivaled.
Coupling an elevated spa treatment with a range of freely accessible facilities and a unique view of Manila Bay, members have everything they need to achieve peak relaxation and throw an amazing party all in the same day!
Marina Bay is first and foremost a spa with consultants recommending experiences complimenting your lifestyle.
From the Exotic Tropical Detox, a green tea scrub with a slimming massage, to the Crystal Chakra Massage aligning body and soul, you will find healing in their carefully designed spa packages.
After a chat about my current condition with the manager of Marina Bay, Nenita P. Cabrera, suggested the Marina Signature Experience. This package is composed of a hydrating body exfoliation partnered with a signature full body massage and facial.
In preparation for your treatment, take advantage of the many facilities that are freely accessible to members. Overlooking the panoramic Manila Bay, the 25-meter infinity pool is perfect for lap swimming and causal immersion.
For those who prefer a dry workout, the fitness gym is fully equipped with Technogym machines and weights with the same stunning view. The adjacent wellness studio provides members with TRX, Cardio Box, Pilates, Zumba, Yoga and Boxing classes throughout the day!
Post workout and it’s time to rinse and enjoy the spa amenities. Nenita recommends 5 to 10 minutes in either the sauna or steam room before entering the hot bath spa. This promotes optimal detoxification and release of muscle tension. Lastly, brace yourself for a quick dip in the cold bath to close your pores and instantly increase your energy.
As a Canadian, I thought I was mentally prepared to tackle the cold, but nothing can prepare you for the shock your body feels from transitioning baths. With haste, I made my way to the hot stone spa, Ganban’yoku. I highly suggest laying on the heated body-sized stone before being called in for your treatment. This spa is truly unparalleled; here you can experience a two-hour full body therapy for the same price as a generic massage in other luxury spas in Manila. Your skin never felt as smooth as after their exfoliation made from local products.
Hungry? Enjoy some dinner at the buffet open all day to members and guests who booked a spa package. And if you survived the experience so far without snoozing, the relaxing lounge is ideally located beside the dining area for a guaranteed undisturbed rest.
The night is young, and as a member, you have many options. Bring the party to Marina Bay by inviting your friends to belt it out in your own private Karaoke room or play some table games and poker in the gaming lounge. Finally, cheers to the ultimate “me day” with a drink from the sunset pool bar.
All you need to enhance your fitness, beauty and social life is found at Marina Bay spa and lifestyle club.
