Step into the newly opened Spa at Four Seasons Mumbai and you'll be immediately greeted with the scent of neroli, the highly popular sweet–citrus–floral aroma that is often linked to stress relief, emotional balance and a boost in mood. "By using this signature fragrance at the reception, we create an immediate sense of serenity and calm for every guest who walks through our doors, setting the perfect tone for the spa experience that follows," says Mary Lalhriatchhungi, Spa Therapist at the hotel.
Don't ever forget to take time out for yourselfFour Seasons Mumbai
The second thing you notice is the natural light pouring in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, warming the wood panelling. It's incredibly relaxing, especially when paired with the detox tea (green tea with ginger, lemon and jaggery) you're served once your appointment is confirmed. The soft, solarpunk-esque music adds to the sense of calm refinement, so much so that when the receptionist's telephone rings, it sounds overtly shrill - an intruder, unwelcome in this retreat.
The Spa is a very convenient space for working professionals in Mumbai, who, if they are fortunate, have a few hours over the weekend to pamper themselves. The Express Massage takes about 45 minutes and focuses on the back, neck, and shoulders to relieve muscle tension, ease stiffness, and improve circulation. If 45 minutes sounds like a lot, one can opt for the Foot Reflexology, Mini Facial or the classic Head and Scalp massage.

"By stimulating specific pressure points on the feet, the Foot Reflexology therapy activates the body’s natural healing process. It’s ideal for those who spend long hours standing or walking, offering a quick way to restore balance and overall well-being," says Lalhriatchhungi.
However, if you have time to yourself, here's what Lalhriatchhungi recommends:
How can someone choose a treatment based on how stressed, low on energy or sleepless they feel?
Lalhriatchhungi: For those feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or mentally drained, treatments designed to soothe the nervous system and calm the mind are most beneficial.
Aromatherapy Massage – A restorative treatment that uses calming essential oils to relax the body and mind. The gentle aromas combined with soothing techniques help release emotional tension and encourage deep relaxation.
Swedish Massage – Known for its slow, flowing strokes, this treatment is ideal for reducing stress levels, relieving muscle tension, and promoting a profound sense of peace.
To ensure the experience is fully personalised, every guest completes a Health Assessment Form before their treatment. This allows our therapists to understand preferences such as pressure levels and areas of focus, enabling them to create a bespoke therapy tailored to individual needs.

What makes the signature treatments - like the Neroli Massage or 24K Gold Radiance Facial - different from a regular spa experience?
Lalhriatchhungi -They incorporate premium ingredients, advanced techniques, and the artistry of our skilled therapists to create an experience that is both indulgent and transformative.
Neroli Massage – Using pure Neroli essential oil extracted from orange blossoms, this full-body massage is both calming and rejuvenating. The oil’s natural properties help improve skin tone while easing emotional tension. Combined with medium to firm pressure techniques, it leaves guests feeling deeply restored.
24K Gold Radiance Facial – This luxurious facial uses gold-infused products to enhance skin vitality. The treatment brightens, firms, and deeply nourishes, providing a radiant glow that lasts well beyond the session. It’s an indulgence that blends beauty with wellness.
For someone visiting with a partner, child, or just wanting privacy, what special options do you offer (like spa suites or couples’ rituals)?
Lalhriatchhungi: The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai is designed to cater to a variety of guest needs, including those seeking shared experiences or private moments of retreat.
Couples’ Rituals – These specially curated sessions allow partners to relax together in a serene and private setting. Treatments are synchronised so both guests can share in the experience, making it an ideal way to connect while unwinding.
Kids’ Massage – For families, we offer gentle massages designed especially for children. These sessions, lasting 45 minutes, are soothing and safe, helping young guests feel calm and cared for. Parents accompanying their child can choose to have this treatment performed in the comfort of a couple’s room.
Sounds like a good weekend plan, doesn't it?Four Seasons Mumbai
After their Spa session, what else can guests do to stay in that relaxed state? Anything within the hotel you recommend?
Lalhriatchhungi: To help guests extend the benefits of their spa treatments, we invite them to make use of our wet area facilities, which include a steam room, jacuzzi, and sauna. These facilities complement the spa therapies, enhancing relaxation and promoting overall wellness. For those wishing to transition gently from their spa experience, the hotel offers a variety of serene spaces to unwind. Guests can head to AER, our iconic rooftop bar and enjoy a carefully crafted cocktail or refreshing mocktail while taking in the elegant ambience. Alternatively, a quiet stroll through the property or a moment of reflection with a soothing beverage can help preserve the calmness achieved during their treatment.
