Remember my spa therapist sister? She is now working for YTL in one of their luxurious properties. When she came to visit recently, she booked us a two-hour session at Spa Village. Just what I needed!
Spa Village Kuala Lumpur is located on the fourth floor of the Ritz Residence, which shares the same building as the Ritz Carlton (although they have separate lobbies and separate doors). As I've never been there before, I parked at Starhill Gallery. I was so tempted to go to Sergio Rossi but we were already late (note that general spa etiquette is to arrive at least fifteen minutes before your appointment time; read here).
As soon as I opened the main door to the spa, the aroma from the essential oils calmed me. It was so quiet and I totally forgot that I was in the middle of KL! My sister paid and we chose our treatments, which was 90-minutes aromatherapy massage for me and Balinese massage for my sister and then followed by 30-minutes body scrub.

We were then ushered to a very dark waiting room and were served tea and rose-scented cold towel. Nice!

And then, we were led to the treatment room. We had a couple room that comes with rain-water shower and bath tub, outdoor!

After the massage, she helped me sit to scrub my back. That was a different style from any other spas I went before. All the other spas I went before actually had me lying face downwards while the therapist scrubbed my back. I actually prefer sitting up!
After the scrub, we went to shower outside and by the time I finished with my shower, I came in to see the treatment room was already clean and looked like nobody had treatment in it.
After I dressed, the therapist showed me back to the waiting room where they served us ginger tea. Again, nice!
Before leaving for our super late lunch, I asked if I can go to the exclusive poolside just to take pictures. And here it is!

Because I came with my sister, we paid good price. So I didn't contemplate to tip. When I said good price, it was very good! Because there's no way I'd go if I were to pay the published rate. So expensive! Check out their website here and have a look at the menu.
Will I return? Definitely!
