Special thanks to De Villa for extending this spa review invitation.
The Heritage Club tends to give the impression of an exclusive country club. While its upscale appearance is undeniable, the exclusivity impression cannot be any further from the truth. In fact, the general public is welcomed to patronize the businesses inside, with the exception of gaming area and swimming pool.
Besides JT Restaurant, The Heritage Club is also the home of De Villa Ultimate Therapeutic Experience. Located on the first floor, the spa center is open to the public but usually by appointment basis. Although having operated for 8 years, De Villa has been revamped just recently.
De Villa provides separate sections of male and female clients. A couple’s room is also available. Stepping into the premises, one is enchanted by the tranquil ambience and soothing Balinese music in the background.
De Villa is staffed by professional massage therapists, who are well-versed in various massage techniques. Before and after the session, each client is served with a hot cup of ginger tea. Extremely aromatic in nature, the intense pungency of the tea is softened by well-rounded sweetness.
Today, I have the pleasure of experiencing the Traditional Balinese Massage. The 2-hour session covers from head to toe (chronologically in the reverse order), front-and-back (also in reverse order). Javanese massage rejuvenates the body and mind by improving blood circulation and relieving tense muscles.
De Villa provides many other therapy services including Aromatherapy Massage, Lymphatic Brush Massage and Foot Reflexology. While the price of a single session is reasonably affordable, customers may want to consider membership for RM80.00 per year (RM68.00 for renewal). Members are entitled to discounted prices for every session in the entire year. Members also enjoy additional benefits on their respective birthday month.
In addition, De Villa is offering 5- or 10-session packages at amazingly bargain prices. The sessions do not expire and are transferable, making them ideal gifts for loved ones. As for new customers who are uncertain whether spa is beneficial as asserted, De Villa offers introductory prices (starting from RM48.00) for the first session.
