Our three-days vacation at Discovery Shores Boracay would not be complete without a relaxing body massage. So after the boodle fight dinner our last night at Discovery Hotel was spent in a modern, cozy in-house spa called the Terra Wellness Spa.

This areas is for foot massage. It's a big treatment rooms for big groups. Beautiful, spotless clean bathtub and toilet. There's a separate comfort room with several cubicles as well.
Moving on to the treatment. We chose the Terra's Touch. The therapist presented four kinds of oil - calming, uplifting, rejuvenating, and detoxifying. Each bottle contains mild and natural ingredients especially made for people with sensitive skin. I had "rejuvenating" infused with rosemary and bergamot. Rosemary moisturizes skin, decreasing age spots. In addition, skin products with rosemary is said to be can help trear pimples and acne. The citrus scent of bergamot has aromatherapy effect. So imagine when these two are combined, not to mention how great the massage was.
My husband tried the "detoxifying" oil with lemongrass and peppermint. I just love the scent.
After accomplishing the registration/health form, we transferred to the couple massage room. We started with Discovery Hotel's signature foot wash. Pouring warm water soaked with flower petals over our tired feet and using special scrub, the therapist gently massaged our feet and legs. The foot wash was very relaxing. It comforts our tired leg muscles after a whole day of swimming and walking by the beach.
I don't usually fall asleep during massages because I wanted to feel the treatment except for this one. The gentle hands that works, slowly covering our bodies with clean and soft towels. I must say, the luxury treatment was performed with gentleness and professionalism. They would ask if we feel comfortable, the air-conditioning warm or cold enough. Terra's touch uses deeply relaxing massage . What I like about it is the slow and graceful gliding strokes that are applied to the different key pressure points of our body. It releases tension and works on blood circulation.

The treatment lasted an hour and for the first time, I wished I had the 90 minutes body massage. Afterwards, we were offered hot ginger tea which has detoxifying and calming effect. I just hope the therapist would leave the treatment room after the massage and allow guests to rest with privacy while enjoying the hot drink. :)

Overall, we had a fantastic body massage. It was absolutely relaxing, rejuvenating and sublime experience. Aside from the Jacuzzi located at the swimming pool area, must-try when in Discovery Shores Boracay are the treatments available at the Terra Wellness Spa.
