Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai

Find comfort and calm at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, where every experience is designed to help you slow down and savour the moment. Designed with a refined quietude, The Spa is a kind of place where your nervous system starts recalibrating the moment you step out of the lift. Soft lighting, neutral tones, and elegant, unfussy interiors create a soothing visual rhythm that mirrors the calm you’re about to receive. Experience the Rejuvenating Serenity Massage, a signature treatment that sounds almost poetic. The session begins with a traditional Kansa foot massage, a grounding ritual that seems to unlock a deeper stillness. Subtle, but setting the tone: this isn’t going to be your average in-and-out spa circuit. After the treatment, linger in the post-therapy lounge—where the only thing on the agenda is relaxing with herbal tea. If you’re in Mumbai and your soul is feeling a little threadbare, this is the perfect place to be.
