Tattva Wellness Spa – A Quiet Getaway in Chennai’s Urban Metropolis
The Space
The spa at Pullman Chennai is a serene escape in the heart of the city, designed for comfort and personalised care. With two single massage rooms featuring private showers, a dry therapy room, and a range of salon services, the spa offers an ideal environment to reset.
Whether indulging in a signature massage or a simple grooming ritual, guests emerge refreshed and rebalanced.
“At Tattva Wellness Spa, every treatment is a journey toward self-reconnection. Set within tranquil surroundings, guests are invited to experience the transformative power of expert touch and thoughtfully curated products,” says Throngpila S Sangtam (Apila), Spa Manager. The spa design reflects Tattva’s serene aesthetic, blending natural materials and calming tones to evoke balance and harmony.
The Team
The team of masseurs is selected carefully from training institutes and undergoes an initial onboarding with one month of hands-on training at the spa and theory and practical modules covering massage protocols, hygiene, and guest interaction.
The Central Training Academy (Nagaland) is where all therapists undergo rigorous training to master and deliver spa therapies with precision and care. “Training is held at our centre in Nagaland, while freshers also undergo a one-month hands-on programme at the spa. Ongoing development includes skill upgrades for new treatments, brand immersion programmes, and annual refresher training on global spa trends and standards. Tattva’s commitment to excellence ensures that every guest is cared for by knowledgeable, empathetic, and highly skilled therapists,” adds Sangtam.
The Treatments
The spa offers a variety of treatments, including the Jet Lag Massage, a speciality therapy tailored to guests recovering from travel fatigue. This combines Swedish strokes, aromatherapy, and pressure techniques to re-energise the body. They also have Ayurveda-inspired treatments like Abhyanga and Potli Massage. Salon services include haircuts & styling, hair spa, waxing & threading, and manicures & pedicures.
“We craft our range of therapeutic oils, tailored for specific needs like pain relief, body toning, and enhancing your natural glow, to name a few. These formulations, developed with precision and care, enhance the efficacy of every treatment,” says Sangtam. The oil blends include Vishram, enhanced with the goodness of rosemary, and Pranati, derived from the blend of rose and geranium. If you pay additionally, you can choose Sparsh, with the essence of triphala; Vimukti, which has the purity of mahanarayan oil; and Ojas, infused with the richness of patchouli.
The Treatment
The session starts with a basic health assessment. I am offered three choices: hard, firm but gentle or soft as options. You can also choose the oil for the massage from their specially curated aromatherapy oils from VILASA by Tattva. I chose Pranati, a blend of rose and geranium known for providing the energy to rejuvenate and thrive. Post a refreshing welcome drink – kokum juice, I am whisked away into the treatment room by my therapist Opyee from Mizoram. I choose the 90-minute Signature Tattva Therapy, a blend of deep tissue massage and assisted yoga stretches.
The session starts with a foot massage, where my feet are soaked in warm water infused with bath salts. Once done, Opyee starts the session with a dry massage and stretching ritual. Then she starts the back massage to release the knots and stress accumulated in the back. The foot massage almost feels like acupressure as she uses the tips of her fingers to apply pressure at the back of the foot. Post a shower, as I sip the green tea, I know that this has been exactly the session I needed to de-stress.
