Get it Just Right

Andaman White Beach Resort and Phuket Hotel Articles

Once in a while, one comes across a spa that manages to ‘get it just right’. Ylang Spa at Andaman White Beach Resort has successfully designed a simple, practical and functional spa that is also aesthetically appealing. The well-conceived and tastefully decorated reception area with its tranquil sea views is an alluring overture to a pampering spa session. The air inside is infused with the aroma of aromatic oils and soft, soothing music plays in the background. You are greeted by friendly staff and served refreshing tea. This relaxing atmosphere integrates with an overall practical and pleasing design.

At Ylang Spa, the Jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms are in close proximity to private massage rooms. So is the bathroom. Those of you familiar with spa treatments are well aware that after drinking a few cups of tea, the firm hands of the masseuse can be quite unrelenting. A lavatory close at hand is not only convenient, but a necessity. If you are in a very expensive private pavilion but the loo is across the courtyard, past the swimming pool and restaurant full of hotel guests and you are dripping in essential oils and clad in a sarong ? well, you get the picture. And if the sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi are also spread far apart, the design is not functional or practical by any stretch of the imagination. Surprisingly, some of the more upscale and expensive spas do not even have saunas or steam rooms.

Ylang Spa offers the whole range of body and facial treatments that are as special as its unassumingly unique design. I was pampered by the exclusive Swiss Lift Up Firming Facial as well as the Erawan Thai Traditional massage.

The innovative Swiss Lift Up Firming Facial is exclusive to Ylang Spa and uses products imported from Switzerland. The creams penetrate deep into the skin’s pores to cleanse, smoothen and motivate blood circulation by increasing oxygen supply. It promotes moisture absorption by the skin’s cells and helps prevent melanin production, which darken the skin with age-spots. I must admit the facial worked miracles on my tired old face. This facial,popular with movie stars in Bangkok, is only available at Ylang Spa in Phuket.

The small masseuse with an incredibly strong body employed all her strength during my Erawan Thai Traditional Massage. Stretching my arms behind my head, she used her knees and elbows to knead and massage my back. The tension-relieving massage was perfect. It is only recommended for the physically active and those preferring strong massages.

Several other full-body massages, facials, body scrubs and package treatments are available. Ylang Spa uses all natural herbal and high quality imported products. In accordance with its high quality yet simplistic and practical design, the products used and services available at this spa echo the same approach. They are outstanding. Quality, at the end of the day, is totally apparent in the results.
