San Onsen: KSL Esplanade Hotel brings a rejuvenating Japanese-inspired spa experience to Klang
October 27, 2023
Here's a glimpse at San Onsen's boutique facilities, a beautiful retreat from the city.
The male onsen has plenty of room, featuring three pools. Patrons officially have a total of 45 minutes to enjoy these pools - start with the hottest one at 40°C, move on to the 32°C pool, then cool off in the pool of cold water. You're encouraged to spend about four to five minutes in each temperature before moving on to the next.
The female onsen promises privacy with strategically shielded windows, also with three pools and a comprehensive range of facilities.
Even the waiting area is elegant, a lounge with low-rise furniture and artwork that have been custom-made to evoke Japanese culture, giving guests a feeling like they've arrived in Japan.
San Onsen also offers many other treatments to complement your onsen experience, including 60-minute or 90-minute aromatherapy and full body therapy to stimulate your blood flow as the long, rhythmic strokes of the forearm, elbow and hand release stress and improve circulation for tired muscles. Highly recommended for those who prefer medium to strong massages with oil.
Inspired by Japanese foot massage techniques, this foot therapy helps to unblock energy channels and restores the natural energy flow in the body.
The next excitement at San Onsen will be the launch of private onsen facilities that can be experienced by groups of up to six persons, without gender segregation. These are perfect for friends to chill out in a more intimate setting; they're great for family bonding too!
