Just for mums at ESSA Spa
ESSA Spa’s menu offers an indulgent array of treatments, from massages and facials to body scrubs and wellness packages, catering to diverse needs. With Mother’s Day around the corner, ESSA Spa has introduced the very special Mums Wellness Escape, a 150-minute pampering session priced at RM780+. This luxurious package, designed as a tribute to mothers, includes an invigorating Tropical Escape Body Glow, a de-stressing Aromatic Repose Massage, and a Anti-Aging Collagen Facial, promising a rejuvenating experience like no other. Needless to say I totally lucked out getting to experience this!
Before the treatment, I completed a detailed form to note any allergies and skin concerns, as well as my preferred massage pressure ensuring a personalised experience. I was also asked to choose an oil between – energising (a blend of rosemary, ginger and lemongrass), detoxifying (seaweed and green tea), or calming (camomile and lavender). They all smelled divine but ultimately I opted for the energising blend to uplift my senses.
My lovely therapist Rozlly guided me to a pristine treatment room and once I changed into the softest, fluffiest bathrobe ever, my luxurious journey began.


Let’s begin
The Mums Wellness Escape started with a foot bath and a herbal tea. This was followed by the Tropical Escape Body Glow, a revitalising scrub that sloughed away dull skin, leaving it soft and radiant. Rozlly’s skilled hands applied just the right pressure, making the exfoliation both invigorating and gentle. Next, I was led to a shower to rinse off the scrub, preparing me for the Aromatic Repose Massage. The energising oil, combined with the therapist’s expert techniques, on a heated bed, melted away any tension, leaving my muscles and my mind relaxed. The massage flowed seamlessly into the Anti-Aging Facial that targeted my fine lines and hydration and left my skin glowing and noticeably firmer.
The 150-minute treatment was like a luxurious gift, which left me feeling re-energised, content and utterly pampered. The experience concluded in the spa’s tranquil lounge, where I was offered another fragrant herbal tea.

ESSA Spa’s Mums Wellness Escape is truly a wonderful gift for Mother’s Day. However, whilst tailored for mothers it can be a perfect treat for anyone seeking a truly relaxing escape. For those eager to explore more, ESSA Spa offers a variety of other packages, ensuring everyone can find their perfect way to unwind.
I highly recommend this lovely spa for a memorable experience that pampers both body and soul. I for one am already planning a return – maybe a birthday treat?
