Here at Parlon, we love massages. Seriously, we think it’s one of the best things you can treat yourself to, especially after stressful work weeks and equally stressful metro commutes. There’s definitely no shortage of spas in the city, but every now and then, a gem pops up and we’re considered intrigued.
Admiral Spa, located within the reimagined boutique Admiral Hotel Manila – MGallery, is the latest player in Manila’s wellness scene, having officially launched just last March 8. What sets them apart is their promise of the utmost luxury experience, inspired by both Filipino and French cultures.
True enough, the spa features chic and elegant Parisian nods when it comes to the interiors. While you’d associate most spas with dark and homey feels, Admiral Spa’s ambience looks the other way with mood lights, sleek furniture, and grand gestures (design-wise) to give guests the most relaxing experience. They even have separate rooms for different types of treatments, just to make sure that guests are comfortable.

The spa, however, emphasizes on healing and their guests’ well-being. “The inspiration of the Admiral Spa is to guide each guest into an experiential, remarkable spa journey of healing and well-being,” shared Kyrin Saracho, Spa and Recreation Manager of Admiral Hotel Manila - MGallery. “With a new era of transformative, immersive, and story-driven wellness through our curated services…One of our pillars is nourishing the soul, and this goes beyond massage treatments and luxurious ambience.”
The spa is very much inspired by ancient healing methods that make use of water, herbs, and other elemental therapies from all over Asia. And, you’ll find a good mix of massage techniques to choose from–whether you’re interested in Thai stretching, Japanese shiatsu, Indian head massage, or even Xiamen foot reflexology.
They pay homage to Filipino reflexology through their offering, the Admiral Pamana. This massage takes traditional Filipino “hilot” acupressure techniques and combines it with Tibetan sound healing practices. The treatment is said to help alleviate posture discomfort and enhance your balance, as well as emotional well-being.
Apart from massages, they also offer guests detoxifying body scrubs, exfoliating facials, spa treats for kids, and more. Pro tip: you can book your appointments and get some of these services for less through Parlon.
More specifically, you can avail of their one-hour Sensory Journey Massage and Himalayan Body Scrub for only P4,760, instead of P5,600! This massage employs the use of Swedish techniques, Reiki, and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi which helps aid sleep disturbances.
Meanwhile, you can save as much as P800 on their Foot Revive Treatment. It starts off with a foot soak and a gentle scrub to help exfoliate the skin, then finishes with a relaxing foot massage.
So, on your next hunt for a luxurious spa getaway (that doesn’t require getting out of the city) or your next date night treat, consider trying out Admiral Spa. You just might discover a new favorite spot to frequent–we know we did!
Admiral Spa is located on the ground floor of Admiral Hotel–MGallery, open daily, from 11:00 a.m to 10:00 p.m. Click here to book an appointment through Parlon, view their list of services, and cop exclusive deals.
