Batam Spa Villa, body mask, foot reflexology, foot spa, full body massage, hydro bath, KTM Resort, spa
Ok, I’ve waited long enough to announce this: I’m going to a weekend spa retreat at neighbouring island, Batam! YAY! This is what the place looks like, at least, in photos:
This will be where we’re staying, the KTM Resort. There will be 9 of us, 8 couples (me, my sisters and hubbies) and a friend. We will stay in 2 family cottages. Though I’ve read reviews that the place is quite run-down, I’m thinking if it’s clean it shouldn’t be a problem. Anyway, I like the rustic setting which is very much like the kampong (or village) lifestyle that I never grew up in but had experienced a few times when I was still a kid.
This is the reason we’re heading there:
– Spa Villa
The idea of having spa and massage done while facing the sea is so exciting! The women, that’s us the sisters, will be doing a 180 mins Romantic Spa Package (foot bath, body scrub, body mask, hydro bath & full body massage) . The men, that’s the hubbies and a friend, will do 30 mins foot reflexology OR head/neck/shoulder massage.
Day 2 will be a day of city tour and shopping. We will set off early Saturday morning and come back in the evening on Sunday. Hopefully the weather co-operates even though it’s been a little too crazy lately. I might get a little dizzy while having a massage facing a turbulent sea 😛
In case anyone’s interested, here’s the website:

I read the start of the line “In case anyone’s interested…” I immediately leaped to the conclusion that you’re inviting us on this trip. I hear travel blog calling 🙂

As long as you don’t expect a travel blog like T’s which is simply fantastic, I don’t mind blogging it 😛

So happy for you! You deserve some pampering. Wishing you lovely weather and calm seas to gaze at during your masssage, if you can stay awake that is.

Let’s hope no ships or boats are allowed to sail by 😛

It would be nice if Aunty Flo stays away but… 😦
Carol Wright said:
Hope it lives up to the photos, and that you have a wonderful time. Why does Aunt Flo always decide to show up at vacation time? So inconsiderate of her. ;D
Judith Tan said:
She’s trying to ruin my vacation…I need extra prayers to keep her at bay 😛
Clara said:
I want, I want, I want LOL! I so need something like that…
Have a good time Judy and enjoy the massage and everything else. I’m a massage therapist too although I don’t work at a spa.
Speaking of which… I think I should suggest something like this to my best friend, a girl’s days lol.
I hope you have fun 🙂
Judith Tan said:
You should do this, Clara. It’s much better being massaged than massaging others LOL
Clara said:
LOL it sure is. I’m going to convince my friend, we both need it… a lot 😉
