Mryah Day Spa, Juhu
I finally land up in front of a quaint bungalow in Juhu after some serious direction-seeking on a rainy day. Shaheen Khalily, the spa manager at Myrah, guides me in to the lounge where the faint smell of lavender sets the mood. I’m keen to take the Rain oil therapy for Royal Asian Blend Massage — a mixture of basil, rosemary and peppermint oil that is best suited for the season as it heals skin infections and muscular pain. I sip a cup of herbal tea to soothe my nerves, opt for a medium-pressure massage and a dry head and face massage to go with the Rain oil therapy. My confidante for the 90-minute ritual is Worlie, my therapist. She starts by gently cleaning my feet in warm rose water before moving on to the back massage with the help of the raindrop oil. Focusing on the pressure points, she balances the pressure according to my request even as she explains the benefits of stretching the limbs during a massage. It is intense but not painful. Massage over, I find myself in a warm plastic wrap. Perfect! Meanwhile she works on my face making me doze off. I want this to last longer but she wakes me up for my hot shower. As I step out, feeling fresh and rejuvenated, I make mental notes for what I will do on my next visit. I feel like a million dollars.
