Finding a reliable spa that offers more than just the basics can truly elevate your wellness journey. My introduction to Four Fountains Spa happened back in 2008, thanks to a friend from Pune who couldn’t stop praising their outstanding service and reasonable prices. She was so impressed that she even considered a trip to Pune purely for a day of spa indulgence. Although that plan didn’t materialize for her, I personally had the opportunity to experience their services when I relocated to Pune in 2010. Initially, I only intended to get a massage, but I was so satisfied that I ended up opting for a silver membership.

When Four Fountains’ marketing team reached out to me for a service review, I was eager to see how their offerings had evolved, especially considering the changes over the past couple of years.

Booking and Initial Consultation

My appointment was scheduled at the Malad branch, and I appreciated the reminder call I received an hour beforehand – a very helpful feature for anyone with a busy schedule or a tendency to forget appointments.

Upon arrival, the staff thoroughly explained the range of services available. Being a previous customer, I was already familiar with many of their treatments, having tried various massages like Swedish, Thai, Aromatherapy, and facials. I was particularly interested in their body polish and wraps and almost chose one of those, but ultimately, a massage was what I genuinely needed. Before proceeding, I was given a stress assessment questionnaire to gauge my stress levels. The results indicated ‘medium stress,’ and I decided to go with a Swedish massage, with a recommendation from the therapist to include a head massage as well.

Spa Facilities and Ambiance

The facilities have noticeably improved over the years. My earlier impression from about three years ago was that of a ‘budget spa,’ although this might have been specific to a particular branch and shouldn’t be generalized. However, based on my recent experience, the ambiance is definitely a step up.

The treatment room and the attached shower were impeccably clean. Having a private shower attached to the room was a significant plus. In contrast, the Magarpatta City (Pune) spa previously had a communal shower area (separate for ladies), making the attached shower a much more convenient and comfortable experience.

My therapist was courteous and helpful, guiding me through the facilities. The head massage, lasting about 15 minutes, was incredibly relaxing. The Swedish massage itself was a 60-minute session. Initially, the massage felt a bit intense as it’s a deep tissue technique, but I persevered and was glad I did. As the session progressed, I felt the tension melt away, and the soothing music almost lulled me to sleep. After the massage, I felt revitalized and energetic rather than drowsy. All the knots, aches, and discomfort had completely disappeared.

Following the treatment, I was offered a small glass of green tea, a sample of cooling and de-stressing gel, a feedback form, and a card for my next appointment, offering a complimentary head massage if booked within the next month. These thoughtful touches contribute to the overall extra service experience at the spa.

Value for Money and Membership Options

Price is always a key consideration for me, and I’m constantly seeking services that offer excellent value. The massage prices at Four Fountains Spa start from Rs 1499 upwards. Their detailed menu is readily available online. While rates are consistent across Mumbai locations, Pune centers offer varied pricing, with branches in Magarpatta, Wanowrie, and some others being slightly more economical. This tiered pricing strategy makes their “Extra Service Spa In Pune” accessible to a wider range of clients.

They provide pre-paid membership options where you can deposit an amount upfront, and service costs are deducted as you book treatments. They have special rates for Gold, Silver, and Happy Hour memberships.

I highly recommend exploring their Happy Hour membership. It costs Rs 15,000 upfront and is valid from 10 am to 5 pm on weekdays. The benefits are substantial:

• You gain access to exclusive 50% discount rates.
• The membership is shareable with friends and family, making it cost-effective if you split it.
• Even for working professionals, the Happy Hour membership is worthwhile. Utilize it during leave, mid-week days off, or even a strategically planned spa day during the work week!

Back when I initially signed up for a package in 2010, the Rs 10,000 upfront cost seemed a bit much, but the center manager informed me about a corporate scheme that reduced the upfront payment to just Rs 5000 with a 6-month validity. I seized the opportunity and enjoyed numerous massages for that amount, especially considering that prices were slightly lower then. Therefore, it’s always worth inquiring about available discounts – you might just get lucky.

Final Verdict

Overall, the services at Four Fountains Spa have genuinely improved and now offer a more premium feel than before. While luxury spas like those at Taj Kovalam and The Emirates Club in Dubai may boast plusher interiors and complimentary robes or spa products, the core massage quality often boils down to the therapist’s skill. Four Fountains Spa effectively bridges the gap by providing excellent service and skilled therapists without the exorbitant price tag, truly embodying the concept of an “extra service spa in pune” that is both accessible and high-quality.

Pro-Tip: Avoid scheduling massages at the end of the day when therapists might be rushed. Afternoon appointments tend to provide a more relaxed and attentive experience.

While my recent massage was complimentary for review purposes, my positive feedback is also based on my experiences as a paying customer. Four Fountains Spa consistently delivers a valuable and enhanced spa experience.
