M Block Market Day Out? End It with a Massage at GK-1

M Block Market in Greater Kailash-1 is one of South Delhi's favourite places to shop, meet friends and grab a coffee. It's also tiring: parking, crowds, carrying bags and walking from one end of the market to the other. The good news is that our GK-1 spa is right there, on the second floor at M-53.

Plan the day backwards

Start with the end in mind: you want to finish relaxed, not exhausted. So:

1. Shop first, while you have energy. Mornings and early afternoons are calmer in the market.
2. Leave bags in the car or ask the shops to hold them.
3. Book your massage for the end of the day. Then go straight home.

What to book after a day on your feet

• Foot reflexology — the obvious choice after walking around the market. Read our foot reflexology guide.
• Swedish massage — full-body and gentle; perfect when you're tired but not sore.
• Balinese massage — if your back and shoulders ache from carrying bags.
• Hot Potli — in winter, warm herbal compresses feel wonderful.

Best time slots

• Weekdays, 2–5 PM: the calmest time at both the market and the spa.
• Weekend afternoons: popular — book a day ahead on +91 95991 92405.
• Late evenings (8–9 PM): a good choice if you'd rather beat the dinner rush and go straight home.

Make it a friends' afternoon

Coming with a friend or your sister? Book two sessions at the same time so you finish together. Or treat your mother — a spa session together is a lovely change from the usual lunch. Our spa gift ideas article has more.

A few practical things

• Eat lightly before your massage; save the café treats for after.
• Arrive 10 minutes early — parking in M Block can take time at weekends.
• Hydrate. Walking around all day and then having a massage can leave you thirsty.
• Tell your therapist if your feet, calves or lower back feel especially sore.

You'll find us at M-53, 2nd Floor, M Block Main Market, Greater Kailash-1, open every day 11 AM to 10 PM. See photos and the full therapy list on our GK-1 page.
