Twenty-first ‘Zentury’ Man
Matsu Spa
Feeling like a mouse potato lately? (Explanation: The wired generation’s answer to ‘couch potato’. Get it?).
Sometimes it’s just not enough to flush out toxins, tone your tummy or do daily facial exercises as you drive (and see which of the other drivers are staring at you) to get ready for summer.
You need something more inspiring.
Matsu Spa, a newly opened heaven dedicated to ultimate pampering, does more than inspiring: with its scented rain showers, steam room and exotic rituals, it’s not just a spa. Rather, a sophisticated destination experience.
Meaning ‘pine tree’ in Japanese, it’s set in a beautiful woodland area incredibly close to Istanbul. Its minimal architecture has that South Eastern look all over it, enhanced by a peaceful Zen garden to fall in love with.
Did you say Chiva Som?
This one is cracking good, too. If not better (and cheaper.)
