That’s the room and I’m ready for a massage!
I’ve had a stressful two weeks being out action thanks to the acute sinus that led to typhoid. I’m getting better, but I know that it will be at least a month till I am back in action completely. With the constant body aches and pains, I was just waiting to get better and indulge in a body massage that would completely relax me. A week later I received a mail from the marketing team of Four Fountain Spa inviting me to review their services. When you wish for something from the bottom of your heart, you get it!
I have never had the time to indulge in a body massage post the delivery of the boys and calculating my pregnancy time too, I was indulging in a body massage after more than 5 years.
Reviewing Four Fountains Spa
I reached the spa on time and chose the full body massage for an hour. Honestly, I would have loved it if the staff took out some time to actually understand the type of massage that would actually suit me and not just give me the list of massages that I could avail. There should have been some kind of consultancy to understand my lifestyle and then recommend a massage accordingly.
Knowing that I wanted to get rid of those aches and pains and feel rejuvenated, I chose the Swedish Massage with Wintergreen Oil which I had already read about on the internet. The room was relaxing and dimly lit. They offer disposable underclothing which is very hygienic. I love aromas and the fact that there was a diffuser burning in the room made me relax and unwind, yes you know that I am a big fan of aromas!
My feet were first cleaned with a warm wash cloth and the massage started. All through the duration of the massage I was covered with a disposable sheet and only the body part that was being massaged was exposed. It started with the back massage that was relaxing and I felt the tension ease and I was actually more relaxed. I could smell camphor in the oil that was being used for the massage . The only thing I would like to point out is that towards the end of the massage, the oil used was not as warm as it was at the start. Overall, the massage was absolutely refreshing and relaxing!
Cleanliness was an issue, there was hair in the bathroom and I suspect that the bathroom had not been cleaned which is a big unhygienic factor anywhere. This wasn’t expected from a spa of this repute. I am expecting that this is a one off instance and it does not happen again, because I have been reading some fab reviews from other bloggers as well.
If you are from Pune, head over to Aundh to avail the fab services that Four Fountains Spa has to offer in this city.

I would like to go for-
Swedish Massage as I am having severe body pains that’s hurting my physical and mental self. This massage I believe will use different movements to relax my body muscles, nerves and infuse a new lease of life in me.
I so much need a spa!
I so agree, a part of me wished that the massage just continued for another hour :-\
It’s so true. I never had a spa as such though but been aching from long…besides, when I was in Kolkata we had maids giving us oil massages and I would always end up extending 5 minutes 🙂
I would like to go for their Signature Green Tea Scrubassage or the Swedish Massage with wintergreen oil.. moreover they deal with body aches and pains.. they sound lovely! But hey Pratibha, I would like to opt for a therapy for my Mother if possible.. can the voucher can be used like that by the winner?
I stay in Kolkata 🙂
I won’t be able to comment on that, the team at Four Fountains Spa can decide that!
oh, alright.
-I would like to go for Aromatherapy Massage (Energising)..
-After a hard day at work and so much on my plate to balance life with, I am drained off all my energy. This massage can help me become energetic and work more efficiently.
-I hit the gym daily, so here is another reason to choose this massage.
-And a healthy mind resides in a healthy body. In this case the mind would reside in an energetic body. Lethargy is a curse, and I wanna get rid of it.
Swedish massage with winter green oil . As a working mom who handles home , baby , hubby , family , blog and 9 hr job all together I think my mind and body will be energized with this massage.
I would always prefer for Sea-Weed Body Wrap which begins with Coffee & Cane Sugar Body Polish which exfoliate my skin and the mask balances the skin’s oiliness and helps lighten the skin. I am very lazy to take care of myself so this is one way I can pamper myself and look good. But apart from this I also prefer Swedish Massage with wintergreen oil for me and my Mom as we both suffer from frequent back aches. Mom, because of her ageing and me, because of my accident and fracture. Frequent Swedish massage helps us a lot. If I do win this then I will let my Mum enjoy the session while I sit back to see her smile while her pain vanishes 🙂
Finally , I get to participate ! Yuhu ! 🙂
Will post my answer shortly .
Indeed a very “relaxing” post .
Keep up the good work Prats ! 😀
Following you and Four Fountains Spa on FB and Twitter. And I would really love their signature green tea scrubassage or the swedish massage. And you know what I feel like I really deserve a good massage! 🙂
Oh yes you do! 🙂
I’d like the Signature Green Tea Scrubassage because being a working mom to 2 kids (one under 2) leaves me feeling as if I’ve been run over by a truck every evening. The idea of clove and green tea working on my tired muscles has already started to relax me :).

Since I am already on a strict diet and detox i would love to go for the detox therapy they offer – Palmarosa & Ylang Ylang Body Polish. It would make me feel really light and refreshed i suppose.
Sneha here- Pune.
Hi, I would actually like to go in for 2 massages!! Firstly , the Swedish massage with green oil as it has some pain releiving properties and with the stressed life we all live in this could be amazing. Secondly, the ever amazing Shirodhara, which can help me open my third eye!! Which I really need right now 😉 . so I can get one from you and the other from my husband.
I stay in Pune!
Amen! May the force be with you!
Seasons Greetings all! Aaaah I would really love the Signature Green Tea Scrubassage! Why? Because the last couple of weeks has been simply maddening and I’ve felt like escaping my body owing to stress levels. I read the description of this treatment and I believe it would help unwind those nerves. Post this treatment remembering the same would definitely help me unwind more and possibly take me back for repeat treatments. *fingers crossed*
With the cooking and baking that you do, I am sure it is exhausting! And can you please mention the city you stay in?
Thanks Prats. Sorry forgot to mention. At present Hyderabad. In 2 months possibly Bangalore or Mumbai 🙂 – Georgina 🙂
Aromatherapy Massage would be energizing for me after hectic week at work…I stay in Pune!
Hi Prats – I didn’t realize you were unwell. Glad to know you’re better and rejuvenated with a massage!
Just had myself a Four Fountain Wintergreen Oil Massage today. I’ve been a member for almost two years and recommend them highly. Their Happy Hour package works very well for me! 🙂
I would like to go for Signature Green Tea Scrubassage!! As I suffer from back ache and knee ache and I want to get rid of all the pains and aches 🙂
I stay in Pune!!

Hi Pratibha,
Glad to know you could relax after the real trying time of being unwell. Followed you & 4fountainspa on twitter and liked the FB pages. Here’s my answer.
Name: Poornima
Answer: Swedish Massage with wintergreen oil.
Why: I love massages. I have spondylitis so some part of my neck or shoulder or back always seems to be aching. The words – Wintergreen oil has pain relieving properties and helps relieve muscle aches is very much appealing. Good luck with your giveaway.
City: Mumbai
Rgds, Poornima

Though I love motherhood n getter the hang of it; I think every muscle in my body is aching. . Since I have never been to a spa, this would be a lovely treat .

Hello Prats !
I’ll start my reply with congratulating you for this “immensely relaxing” post because your review is not just a mere post , infact , it’s a fantabulous “just me and myself” opportunity for all the females who work so hard , whether at home or outside , whether for their family or for their friends , and get absorbed in their 24X7 routine , often forgetting that they have a life of their own. So before I put forth my reason , I would say , ” YES , we all deserve this ” ! 😀
Coming back to my preference , I would choose Back Massage Wintergreen Oil ( Delhi ) .
Honestly , I asked for it because I have never been for a body spa , and wintergreen oil is very much new to me. At my place , Iam the one who gives a “champi” or a back massage to my family members , but when it comes to my turn , I have to run after them to make them provide me with a good back spa. However my efforts often go in vain. Hence to me , this massage-coupon seems even more tempting than a hot chocolate fudge :p
One more thing , if allowed , I would prefer to give my mother this spa-opportunity , because it has always been on my mind to gift my mum “a day” on which she will do just ” nothing” – a day of her own ! And what could be better than this ? :p
So ,
I Wish ! I Wish ! I Wish ! 😀
Good Luck to all ! 🙂
Anjali i hope you win this , if not for yourself, for your mom!!
“Fingers Crossed” ! :p
