What: Citybliss Spa’s permanent location, third floor, C’est La Vie building, 164 Hill Road, next to Godrej Nature’s Basket, Bandra (W), 9167999666, open all days 11 am to 10 pm, starts at Rs 790, Rs 20,000 for yearly membership.

Why: Our favorite spa-on-wheels now has a permanent parking spot at C’est La Vie, Bandra, with separate sections for men and women, Jacuzzis, therapy rooms, and wet-and-dry baths. You can pay per session – we’d pick from their long list of body massages and hydro-therapies – or get a yearly membership, which allows you access to the C’est La Vie swimming pool, café and restaurant. PS: The club itself has always seemed a bit dodgy to us, but perhaps it’s getting a makeover?

When: You need some spa-rks and recreation.

What: Saffron Bay, 39 B Chowpatty, next to Café Coffee Day, Marine Drive, call 23696991, Rs 1,500 for two people without alcohol.

Saffron Bay can seat up to fifty people, and feature private dining areas named Mughal, Rajashtan, Ajanta and Madhuban. Son of the boil, indeed!

When: One in vermillion slated to open on Monday, August 6. bpb review out soon!
