Luxury day spa only for women at Asian Roots

The setting is unlikely—a bungalow in a residential colony in South Delhi. But Asian Roots’ discreet exterior hides an opulent and surprisingly large day spa. The décor is soothing—earth tones and cream—and the staff friendly but not obtrusive. The large first floor is split up between two salons that offer conventional beauty-parlour fare—hair cuts, manicures, pedicures, and various make-up options. The seven massage and steam rooms are on the first floor. Since the idea is to promote complete wellness, there’s also Yoga, Pilates and aerobics classes. The spa is only for women.
