Thann Sanctuary

Salam all…

I have been having these body aches for more than a week now especially on my upper arms. I do not go for massages but because of these pain, I decided to try one. At first I was planning to get a massage at home, asked around and manage to get two contacts that does home massages. Then I remembered this Spa in Kiulap. Last year *i think* I contacted Thann Sanctuary Spa via Facebook and asked about their packages. They responded very quickly but until now, I have not managed to go. So yesterday, I called them up and booked for a massage.

My appointment was at 10am this morning. I arrived about 5 mins to 10am and was greeted and attended to by the friendly ‘spa concierge’. Originally I booked for a 60mins massage but since it was my first massage, I was advised to take the 90mins which I am glad I did. Firstly I was asked to choose which essential oils I preferred. There were about 6 or 7 to choose from and each one has different functions. I had trouble choosing which one so the staff explained that it depends on how you want to feel after the massage. In the end, I opted for the one that will make you feel refreshed and energized (I think thats the one). I was then asked to fill in a short consultation form and was given a cup of tea before being introduced to my massage therapist Rosalie.

The room was very nice, dimmed and lit with candles. Everything smells so nice and made the atmosphere soothing and calm. I really enjoyed my massage and Rosalie did a fantastic job. This was my first massage after so long. Although I’ve only gone to probably two or three places in Brunei, this I say is the best. Rosalie made sure that I was comfortable, asking me if the room temperature was ok, if the music was too loud and to let her know if her massage pressure was either to strong or too light. The one thing I liked about her is that she doesn’t talk so much once the session starts and that gave me the chance to really relax and had the best ‘me’ time. It really bugs me when someone giving you a massage starts petty conversations like asking where you work, are you married, how many children you have, bla bla bla…

After the 90 mins session (which went by so fast), I felt so relaxed.. and the body aches really reduced. No regrets whatsoever on my first visit to Thann Sanctuary Spa and the B$75 for the 90mins Thann Signature Aromatic Massage was money well spent. I’m sure I’ll be back real soon. Insyallah after our vacation.

I didn’t manage to take a lot of pictures. Just the few below of the room where I had my massage. Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures. It was taken after my session.

So if you want to know more about the place, you can visit their website, add them on facebook, like their facebook page and follow them on twitter.

Till my next post…
