by Natashya Khoo on May 26, 2022
Okay, niche question, but have you ever looked at a pool after a hot, sweaty workout & just wanted to dive right in? Workouts leave us with high energy and good vibes, but also with a sweaty, sometimes overheated body that’s in need of rejuvenation.
It can be hard to practice self-care right after smashing a workout at the gym because you’re just so tired- as you should be, queen! So here are five wellness spas around the Klang Valley to pamper yourself after an intense workout, or a season of hard training.
- Urban Retreat
- Lax. Retreat
- Thai Odyssey
- Qi Odyssey
