Angsana Spa By Multiple Award-Winning Banyan Tree Opens First Day Spa In Double Bay, Sydney

Tropical Spa in Cosmopolitan Sydney a Well-timed Development

Sydney, Australia, 24 January 2003

Angsana Spa, a contemporary lifestyle brand founded by the multiple award-winning Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts, opens its first day spa in Double Bay, Sydney, on 25 January 2003.

With 10 resort spas already located in Australia, Maldives, Thailand, Indonesia and India, Angsana Spa is now set to revolutionalise the spa industry in Australia with the opening of its 11th establishment in the upscale district of Double Bay, Sydney. Backed by an investment plan of AUD 1 million, Angsana Spa Double Bay Sydney will be the first to introduce Asian healing remedies in a contemporary setting.

VIVACIOUS ANGSANA PERSONIFIED
The Angsana tree is found in the tropical rainforest of Asia and is best noted for its crown of golden yellow flowers that burst into bloom unexpectedly. It inspires one to sense the moment and to live life spontaneously and savour time as it passes inexorably.

Reflecting this vivacious outlook on life, Angsana Spa presents a contemporary setting where holistic therapies draw on the natural goodness of herbs, fruits and flowers to renew the mind, body and spirit.

REFRESHING SPA THERAPIES
Spa devotees will delight in the 39 massages, body polishers, skin enhancers, facials and fusion baths that add a new twist to the traditional health and beauty recipes of the East.

Some therapies to look out for include:
Angsana – a signature massage to relieve stress and strengthen your qi
Zest – a lemon and yoghurt body polisher to purify your skin
Go-Bananas – a nourishing skin enhancer that softens and moisturises
Peach Blossom – a skin-lightening facial to brighten the complexion
Cloud 9 – an aromatic oatmeal bath to soothe your soul

PROFESSIONAL THERAPISTS
All treatments are carried out by a dedicated team of professional therapists who have undergone more than 400 hours of training at the Banyan Tree Spa Academy. Skilled in various aspects of spa therapy – from massage techniques to spa etiquette – the therapists offer an international standard of service with a touch of Asian hospitality.

INSPIRING INTERIORS
Located in the “Beverly Hills of Sydney”, Angsana Spa Double Bay Sydney offers a private breathing space for the urban elite. The day spa is tucked away in a three-storey Victorian house that dates back to the 19th century and has been conserved as a historical building by the local Town Council. Designed by Architrave Design & Planning, the architectural arm of Banyan Tree group, it is a spirited juxtaposition of contemporary chic and traditional grandeur. Authentic Asian artefacts stand out against the vivid hues of lime and tangerine.

The spa features 3 double therapy rooms for couples, 2 single therapy rooms and a dedicated area for manicures and pedicures.

ANGSANA GALLERY
Guests who wish to recreate the Angsana Spa experience can visit the Angsana Gallery on the lower ground floor for an extensive selection of signature spa products and accessories. The fragrant Jasmine Frangipani collection features a range of shampoo, hair conditioner, shower gel, flower bath, body moisturiser and massage oil to pamper the entire body while the refreshing Bergamot Rosemary collection perks up tired feet with its soothing foot bath, foot scrub, moisturiser and leg mist.
