Hiranyikara

Originally marketing itself as “a spa with men in mind,” Hiranyikara is distinct for featuring all male therapists. While popular with gay clients, many women and straight men have also found this appealing, especially for more intense sport-related massages. The first thing to strike the eyes walking in is the vibrant art and décor. Eschewing muted and subtle shades, the bright colors of the Hiranyikara are unabashedly cheerful. With the friendly staff and individual care, it is not hard to see why this spa is one of the few spas on the island that is as popular with residents, as it is with visitors. The four hour Detoxifying Plus Package is meant to detoxify and re-mineralize dry skin, starting with a Bamboo Charcoal body scrub, then an enriching Charcoal body wrap, followed by an Aromatic massage and Hiranyikara facial glow treatment.

Palm Spa takes a holistic approach for your wellbeing, and the trained therapists combine ancient Eastern therapies with the latest Western techniques to sooth and revitalize. An example of this is the popular Palm Spa Herbal Luxury, a 90-minute treatment which preludes the relaxing technique of a Swedish massage with the application of a hot Thai herbal compress. Once the muscles are warmed, the subsequent deep tissue massage leaves you on cloud nine.

The buzz has been building about Palm Spa, having already been awarded Best New Spa by Asian Spa Magazine and ‘Best Thai Spa in a Hotel in Phuket’ Thai Spa Association Awards. Perhaps it has something to do with the wellness center which offers diverse activities like Thai boxing lessons and batik painting.
