It was a rainy Saturday afternoon. A day designed for one to stay indoors. But Pevonia had other ideas for me that day. Something better. They invited me over to the newly opened spa located at the 3rd floor of Astoria Plaza, named the Fifth Season. A quaint, well-designed escape for urbanites like me who can't afford the 24 drive out of town.

The place was serene. 

Upon entering, they had me do a hand-cleansing rituals at the posh sink at the middle of the room. The water was calming and the lavender scented dead sea rock salt was fragrant. They made me see all the rooms and had me choose which one I prefer the most. I was luckily the lone client during that afternoon so I had dibs on all the rooms. Ahhh.. that alone was treat! There are five massage rooms at Fifth Season Spa. Four of the rooms are names after the 4 seasons, Winter, Fall, Summer, Spring. The fifth, in which they call the Fifth Season is the largest and designed for couples while the rest are for single patients.

No surprise that when I took a peek of which room, each were designed aptly by its namesake. A cool mint blue for Winter, a pale one for Fall, yellow for Summer and Green for Spring. The Fifth Season was painted in dorian grey. The rooms all feel so comfortable to stay in. But it was easy enough to choose a room for me. Want to find out which one I picked? Read on.
