Steaming
bulalo soup, juicy mushroom burgers, sugary fruit pies and tarts —
Nurture Wellness Village Tagaytay proves that these local eats aren't
all that can let you experience bliss in Tagaytay City, Philippines.
Yes,
much has been said about how tourists drive uphill to this popular
destination just to gorge on its most popular dishes. But what if,
say, during your visit, you're on a diet or simply not in the mood to
eat a lot? How then can you enjoy the pleasure that a certified
foodie gets when he eats great food? We have a great tip for you: Get
a massage at Nurture Wellness Village.
One
of Asia's best spas
Much
like the tasty local treats served in the city, the body treatments
at this Tagaytay resort accommodation are recognized as the best
among its counterparts. Truth is, in May of 2010, CNN Travel named it
as among the 28 most relaxing spas in Asia. Also present on the list
are Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi, Oazia Spa Villas in Bali, Four
Seasons in Hong Kong, Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort & Spa in
Maldives, and Armani/Spa in Tokyo. Moreover, Asia Spa Magazine
included it in its list of the 7 top spas in the Philippines. Surely,
not many local wellness centers can say that they have received
recognition like such.
Menu,
please.
Once
you take a look at Nurture's menu of body treatments, your regrets
for not ordering a steaming bowl of bulalo are sure to fade. Here,
unlike in other spas, rest and relaxation are just a prelude, an
appetizer if you may — and healing, a sweet, definite end.
Let's
take the Sinaunang Lunas treatments as prime example. In this
category, the spa presents its exquisite version of the
tried-and-tested ancient Filipino healing methods. There's the Hilot
Kagalingan, which fuses Asian therapies that cure common ailments
like colds, sprain, fever, and fatigue. Another is Dagdagay Foot
massage, a Filipino tribal treatment that makes use of herbal clay
and bamboo sticks. If you're a fan of the therapeutic benefits of
Ventosa, then ask for Lunas ni Nanay, which combines the popular
cupping technique with hilot, the traditional Filipino massage.
If
a 1.5-hour massage is not long enough for you, then pick a package
from their Hiyas Spa Jewels menu. Also among your options are these
categories: Haplos Kalinga Massage Journeys, Algotherm Treatments,
Paraiso Garden Joys, Tropical Body Treatments, and Biodroga Luxurious
Facials. To view the full spa menu offered at Tagaytay's Nurture Wellness Village,
