Hey, Guys! Check out my post below and find out how you can win a Nuat Thai experience for 2 at at Banawe, Libis or Pioneer from me ;)
BK and I decided to head to Banawe the other night because it's been a while since we went out for a midnight snack. We didn't get to that part though due to poor time calculation hahaha. As you know, Banawe is pretty much a haven for a late night cravings of Chinese food (lots of restaurants like Causeway yum!) and milk tea shops. As we cruised through this long stretch, it just dawned on me that it's also a spa area. There's a new Nuat Thai branch that opened at the 238 Banawe building this year (the newly opened Tokyo Bubble Tea is there too!). The place was well-lit and had free parking at the back.
I'm no stranger to Nuat Thai. I prefer their affordable Swedish massage (1 hr, P350) and it's where I organized a bridal shower once. The main company expanded their business from Cebu through franchising. This Banawe branch we went to has the same owners as Nuat Thai Libis and Nuat Thai Pioneer. Nuat Thai Banawe is on the 2nd floor of 238 Banawe.
Services include the usual foot, head and body massages, as well as body scrub.
I chose the Green Tea scent because I can't have too strong smells like lavender and eucalyptus.
One thing to note if you want to have that late-night escapade is the amount of time of the services you want to avail. We came at 10:30 p.m. (they close at 2 a.m.) then we had like 2.5 hours (+ waiting time) worth of treatments so we finished groggily at 1:45 a.m.! I think it would have been better if we ate first or gone there earlier. Haha. Our footwear was replaced by slippers at the reception area. There's a CR inside the spa area.
I had the Nuat Thai Foot Massage (1 hr, P250). We went through a foot bath and quick scrub though before our treatments (me - foot massage + hot stone massage and J - body scrub + aromatheraphy massage with herbal balls - one of their bestsellers).
This is the foot massage area (lights are turned off, I just turned on the light for pictures). I loved that I could recline this chair and they gave me rice heat pads for my upper and lower back. Be careful not to put it on bare skin though. I would suggest bringing earplugs/earphones+music and a sleeping mask if you want to create your own mood and not get distracted with people passing by ;) I dozed for a bit here. It's been a while since I gave my feet some pampering. Sometimes, I don't appreciate them enough and I forget that they take me to lots of places as a travel blogger.
Finally, there's my Hot Stone Massage (1.5 hrs, P700). It has components of a normal oiled massage but having the stones travel through my body at times was a nice change. The room below is just a sample floor-type room because I just dove into mine with the massage bed without prior thought after the foot massage. Haha. J said his treatment was fine and he slept through most of it LOL.
Do you want your own Nuat Thai Banawe, Libis or Pioneer Experience? I'm giving away 2 1-hour massages (Thai body massage or Thai Foot Massage, can upgrade). You can use both for yourself if you like haha.
Before I forget!! Galleon.ph is near the Nuat Thai Pioneer branch (addresses below) so you might want to drop by and say hi to J hahaha. Looking for something? They sell items not available in the Philippines (sourced from the US and delivered to you in 10 to 15 business days, millions of items in their database) ;) I got a cool travel bucket hat that I use from their site for my farm tours!

Tell me below: Do you usually do a Body Massage, Foot Massage, Back Massage, Head Massage or Body Scrub in a Spa? What other spa services not mentioned do you enjoy the most? When was the last time you went to one? What time do you usually go to a spa and how long do you spend there?
Nuat Thai has a branch in Tagbilaran Bohol where i usually get a body massage. Ahhh… so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI had experienced both body massage, head massage, back massage or a whole body massage but I love the most is the head massage I love it, it happened once somewhere in Bataan with my friend I think 4 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe first and only time I went to a spa, I availed of the full body massage, and I went there in the morning and stayed there for two hours, I think.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I haven't experience any massage from spa but I really want too but I don't have enough money to have it. But for me what I'll enjoy here is the head massage because right now I'm too stress because of school and I believe that this is a good stress reliever. If I'll win this will be my first time to be pampered in Spa.
ReplyDeletefull body massage.Last time was a long time ago so I badly need one and I was with my friend.I spend 2 hrs there.
ReplyDeletei usually have a foot massage but am hoping to try a new service
ReplyDeleteI usually have a whole body massage but if I have the luxury of time, I also indulge in a body scrub and wrap. I also enjoy having ventosa if I have lots of "lamig". Last time I had one was last week. I prefer going to the spa at the end of the day so I can just doze off after the service. An hour and half will do but I can spend as much as half of the day if I'm really tired.
ReplyDeleteHoping to win!
Usually, a head massage works wonders for me. But if I am with my girlfriend, we'd go for a whole body massage. The last time I had one was a few months back as I've been busy with school and work projects. Usually, an hour of spa service is good enough for me and I prefer to have one in the evening so I can just sleep after.

Me and my boyfriend went to a spa in Antipolo last September 5. We had a full body massage with a combination of ThaiSwi, it was very relaxing we can't help but to fell asleep. We went there around 1 in the afternoon perfect for our siesta, we usually spend 2hrs. Hoping to win this. Thank you!

Once tried head massage and im willing to try other interesting spa experience :)
ReplyDeleteI prefer spending my Mommy-"Me"-Time getting a foot spa, but my last foot spa (done by a professional) was last year (what?!!!); nowadays I just do it myself at the comfort of my home. I also used to get body massages together with my Mom, around the afternoon (2pm) when it's not crowded and the staff is not in a hurry, and it takes around 2 hours.
ReplyDeleteI usually go to spa/massage parlors for full body massage and foot spa. :)
ReplyDeleteBody massages at home :) but it was sone like last year pa because budget restrictions :(
ReplyDeleteI seldom go to the spa salon, but i do home service at least once every two weeks at home
ReplyDeleteI always have a home service massage. I can't afford to go to the spa anymore because of tight schedules. The last time I had a body massage was July.
ReplyDeleteDo you usually do a Body Massage, Foot Massage, Back Massage, Head Massage or Body Scrub in a Spa? I go for a Body Massage always.
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time you went to one and who were you with?
I have not tried going to a spa because I always go for home service. Last time I had one was a year ago already.
What time do you usually go to a spa and how long do you spend there? I get the 1 hours body massage via home service.
I haven't tried going to a spa so this is my first time if ever I win :)
ReplyDeleteI usually do a body massage, sometimes with barkada, sometimes with my mom
ReplyDeleteI usually have Body Massage and I always go to the spa after work. :)
ReplyDeleteI usually have a foot spa to take care of my feet because of so much walking. This process does not take long though unless i do it along with a maniped.
