Okada Manila’s The Retreat Spa is the city’s newest — and perhaps grandest — center for relaxation.
The décor and theme of the spa revolve around travel, as shown in the map mural above the reception desk and the luggage-inspired display case showcasing the products used for treatments and services.
The Retreat Spa aims not just to work out your kinks, but to pamper beyond measure. Just think of a bespoke barbershop where you get to enjoy a glass of premium whiskey while getting a haircut or shoe shine, a salon to cater to all your glamorizing needs and a healing, rejuvenating spa.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- Don’t miss the spa’s unique Wave Dream, a dimly lit room
with four reclining lounge chairs where you can lie down, unwind, stare up at
the ceiling and watch a pool of water projection. The waves on the ceiling,
coupled with the soothing music, help you prepare for the relaxation that
awaits, or to ease into the real world after a treatment.
- The pool at The Retreat Spa, while smaller in size, is beautiful.
Just a stone’s throw away from a detox bar, this swimming hole is for adults
only, ensuring you’ll have some much-deserved quiet time.
- The relaxation room at The Spa Retreat offers more than just
a place for a quick shower and change or to stow your belongings. You’ll want
to linger in the serene facility’s wet steam room, dry sauna and huge hot pool
with water jets. Plus, it stocks premium products from all-natural, organic
skin care brands like Ila, Eminence, Voya and Ling New York.
- Drop into the exquisite salon for a new haircut, a glam
mani-pedi session or makeup.
- The Sole Retreat Foot
Spa provides a haven for those on the go, offering quick foot rubs, head and
neck massages, and quiet corners for power naps.
Things to Know
- Reservations are highly encouraged to make sure that your
treatment or service of choice is available.
- The Spa Retreat is a child-free zone. Leave the young ones
to the capable hands of teachers and caretakers at Okada Manila’s kids club, Play,
so you can enjoy your me time.
- The fitness center is open 24/7, so you can grab a workout
any time of day. Personal trainers are also available, should you need any
assistance.
The Treatments
- For something out of the ordinary, try the Manila spa's Duyan
(the Filipino word for “swing”), a deep-tissue rubdown based on a traditional
Filipino massage called hilot that
targets specific aches to restore body balance.
- The most-requested treatment at The Retreat Spa is a
signature therapy called Dance of Waves. Personally devised by the in-house spa
manager, this unique offering features a flowing forearm massage that glides
through the entire length of the body to help you feel calm and relaxed.
- Couples can relax together with one of the His and Her Spa
Journey packages. The 120-minute-long Couples Connect package is designed to
rekindle romance with a body scrub, a “backcial” (a facial treatment for the
back), a soothing massage and facials.
The Facilities
- Every man deserves to have the barbershop experience at The
Retreat Spa at least once in his lifetime. Oozing with sophistication, this
gentlemen's-club-inspired space is clad in dark wood and warm lighting,
reminiscent of a Prohibition-era speakeasy — except here, you get to sip a
glass of premium whiskey while getting your hair cut, your shoes shined, a
shave or even a beard-sculpting session.
- There are 10 well-appointed treatment rooms fitted with
high-tech sound and lighting systems to match the mood of your service.
- By the pool, you can have light meals, healthy snacks and
drinks at the Tonic Bar. The carefully curated menu ensures that each meal and
beverage is less than 350 calories per serving.
