If “the greatest wealth is health”, and we can probably trust Virgil on this, then treating oneself to a revitalising body wrap or exfoliation treatment is certainly allowed. It can’t always be live music events, long days at work, and endless stress. Add a touch of balance to your life, although it goes without saying that it’s a luxury to do so, by booking a slot of self-care at the best spas in New Delhi.
1. The Oberoi Spa
Facial treatments, yoga sessions, and hot stone massages are on the wellness menu at The Oberoi’s spa. Under the same roof as The Oberoi, a 5-star hotel named Number 1 City Hotel in Asia (Travel + Leisure, World’s Best Awards, 2022), this spa is next to Hymayun’s Tomb (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and offers “a selection of Ancient Indian Wellness treats and Contemporary Spa Treatments to restore a sense of calm and harmony.”
Choose from aromatherapy, a Himalayan rice scrub body treatment, full body massage, and more for your next zen experience in New Delhi.

Enter a relaxed setting inspired by Shangri-La, a fictional paradise in The Kunlun Mountains. Chi is the spa at Shangri-La Eros New Delhi, another upscale hotel in the city. With more than 20,000 square feet at its disposal, the spa is a spacious place for rejuvenation. Spa treatments include a foot massage, a massage for two in the couple’s suite, facials, body scrubs, and even “Wellness Journeys” which provide options such as soaking in honey, milk, essential oils, and rose petals with your spouse.

Where better to seek tranquility than at The Roseate?
4. The Imperial Spa
A hotel of palatial proportions, The Imperial New Delhi is home to a luxurious spa. After a purifying wrap, Balinese massage, or feeling the benefits of a hot herbal poultice, you can always head to the salon for a new look. Yoga Sanctum is also there for group and private sessions. And between the end of April and May, the Reflective Pool is open.
