I do not normally go to expensive spas to get a massage.
I don't even crave it, because my husband gives the most amazing massages.
So I only pay for them when I go to countries like China or Vietnam, where you can get them for $5-$10 an hour - it is a great bargain.
But I am tempted to try this spa and this 4 hand massage treatment:
I have never tried a massage in a spa this luxurious. This is a spa in JW Marriott in Shanghai's Tomorrow Square.
And this is the description of the treatment I am interested in:
"Mandara Signature Massage
75 mins 990
A truly sublime and unforgettable spa experience, this four hand massage incorporates the exacting skills of two therapists working together in rhythmic harmony. The technique combines five different massage styles of Japanese Shiatsu, Thai Massage, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Swedish and Balinese. Performed using specially- blended massage essential oils of sandalwood, patchouli and ylang ylang, gentle and healing hands of our therapists will help to calm the nervous system, warm and relax muscle tissue and promote the growth of
healthy, new skin cells, ultimately resulting in total relaxation and suppleness of the skin."
It is extravagant, especially for China. But can it be justified in the spirit of "trying things once" and experiencing something new?
Ohh, this is indulgence!
