01/03/2008

Renowned landscape artist Nina Malvar recently opened Kartini Spa at the Alabang Town Center. This is the second Kartini Spa location in the bustling south metropolis, built on the success of the first Kartini Spa in BF Homes Paranaque.

Kartini Spa at the heart of Alabang Town Center is a refreshing oasis where you can melt away all your fatigue and stress and rejuvenate mind and body. At Kartini Spa, you are refreshed, well before you begin your treatments. Tucked amidst the sprawling Kartini landscaped gardens, thriving greenery, vibrant flora and cascading waterfalls, Kartini Spa invites you to discover a pathway to inner peace and reflection as you find yourself surrounded by the exotic and poetic beauty of nature. From the serene natural backdrop to the elegant and exotic mood of the spa lobby and interiors, skilled therapists help put you in a relaxed state, uplifting the spirit, awakening the senses and putting one under a magical spell.

The ambience is upmarket and classy, yet the costs of the treatments are very affordable. The treatment menu lists a range of massage therapies and foot pampering rituals which make use of indigenous ingredients, as well as the finest essential oils.

The Kartini signature massage uses a combination of Balinese gentle long strokes and the invigorating strokes typical of Swedish, Shiatsu and Thai massage to relax tensed muscles and to attain inner glow and harmony. The treatment for 45 minutes costs P495.

The Philippine ‘Hilot’, the most famous in traditional Filipino healing, works on muscles and nerve pathways to encourage blood circulation and to aid in the removal of toxins. The 60-minute treatment costs P595.

The Foot Reflexology treatment for 45 minutes costs P495. The foot massage techniques are designed to restore the natural energy flow around the body using finger-point pressure on the reflex zones on the soles of the feet, thereby emitting powerful energies that promote a cleansing and healing effect.

The Foot Spa Bliss for 30 minutes costing P295 consists of a foot scrub and a relaxing foot massage which detoxify the system and loosen the muscles resulting in a sense of deep relaxation.

These are only a few of Kartini Spa’s impressive array of offerings. Complimenting the spa treatment menu are healthy meals at the Kartini Café Alfresco, which offers light pasta dishes, sandwiches, fresh juices, salads and fruits.

Kartini Spa is ideal for people who like nature to be close at hand or for those who just need to slow down and are looking for a quiet and peaceful natural spa experience. The venue is also well suited for couples, group of friends and families who desire some hours of pampering and for corporate groups who need a much deserved break, wanting to build team spirit through bonding and relaxation.
