Located at the heart of Kuala Lumpur, The RuMa Hotel and Residences is a One MICHELIN Key hotel with a well-kept secret: UR SPA. On the sixth floor of the luxury hotel, this unique spa is a sanctuary in the city, offering everything from brief 30-minute respites from our fast-paced lives and busy schedules to immersive full-day rituals. Beloved by locals and travellers alike, it sets itself apart by adapting ancient healing practices to modern-day needs.<\/p>\n\n

Its award-winning Dusun Inan Body Therapy is a deep tissue massage with links to the ancestral techniques of the Lotud Dusun community of Northern Borneo. Tried and tested by the BAZAAR<\/em> team, this treatment begins with the signature Tranquility welcome ritual, a gentle botanical inhalation and a Kabat stretch, and slowly finds a way to release the tightly coiled tension in the back and shoulders, accumulated from hunching over a desk all day. The masseuse is attentive and calm, explaining gently the different way the body has been affected by the fast pace of city life, and how the massage can help.<\/p>\n

The fluid motions of the masseuse\u2019s palm\u2013a technique originally honed to relieve pains and strains of working the paddy fields in East Malaysia\u2013are rhythmic and hypnotic. When paired with the calming ambient sounds and serene interiors of the spa, there is no other option but to surrender to rest and relaxation.<\/p>\n\n

After the treatment, there is time for reflection and a cup of tea in the lounge of UR SPA. It is a slow transition from soft slumber, allowing for a gentle return to daily life.<\/p>\n
