I’ve never really seen the point of couples rooms in spas…surely all you want when you collapse onto that massage table or into a scented bath is total relaxation and NO distractions. The idea of having my nearest and dearest, or even a close friend, lying a couple of feet away from me while I moan, whinge, groan and possibly dribble, is anathema. Much better for me to have my treatment in privacy so that I appear all sweetness and light and completely refreshed at the end.
However I do know such suites are popular so how clever therefore is the ESPA spa at the Leela Palace in Udaipur to offer such suites but with two separate treatment rooms, so that those who cannot bear to be parted for too long can have their various treatments in private, but then relax together, either in the pool, the garden or splayed on luxury sofas in the calm of the withdrawing room…or even better having lunch in their own private turret overlooking the lake.
