Beat the Delhi Heat: A Summer Spa and Self-Care Guide

Summer in Delhi NCR is brutal. Commutes are exhausting, sleep is broken by the heat, and skin suffers from sun and constant air conditioning. A calm, air-conditioned hour at the spa is one of the nicer ways to cope.

Best therapies for summer

• Aroma therapy with cooling oils — peppermint or lemon feel fresh and light. See our aromatherapy guide.
• Swedish massage — gentle, light and not too heavy on oil.
• Foot reflexology — especially good after long days in hot shoes.
• Body scrub & polish — removes dead skin and sweat build-up; follow with sunscreen.
• Head, neck & shoulder — a short reset without much oil.

Save hot potli and long steam sessions for winter.

Timing tips

• Avoid the hottest hours (12–4 PM) for travel. Book a late-morning slot when we open at 11 AM, or an evening slot once the sun goes down.
• Evenings are popular in summer — book ahead.

Hydration matters more than ever

• Drink water before you leave home and after your session.
• Coconut water or lemon water are good choices.
• Skip alcohol before a massage, especially in summer.

Summer skin care

• Sunscreen on all exposed skin, reapplied if you're outdoors.
• Lightweight moisturiser — skin still needs it, even when it feels oily.
• Cool showers after being outside.
• Exfoliate gently once a week to prevent dullness. See pollution and your skin.
• Avoid scrubs on sunburnt skin.

Sleeping better in the heat

• Keep the bedroom dark and cool.
• Take a lukewarm shower before bed.
• Avoid heavy meals late at night.
• A relaxing evening massage can help you wind down.
