Cinqtuair Spa finds its second home at The Claridges Nabha Residence

Awaken your senses in the cedar forests of Mussoorie

BY

Surrounded by Mussoorie’s ancient cedar and oak forests, The Claridges Nabha Residence begins a new chapter with the arrival of Delhi’s much-loved Cinqtuair Spa. The peaceful setting, cool mountain air, and slow pace make it the perfect place to step away from the everyday rush. Once the summer palace of the Maharaja of Nabha, the estate blends its royal heritage with a philosophy centred around wellness and comfort, making it a quiet retreat in the hills.

Thoughtfully designed to mirror its serene surroundings, the spa is lit with soft natural light, warm wood textures, and expansive views of the forested landscape. Elegant treatment rooms, a signature copper soaking tub, and dedicated steam and sauna facilities create a sensorial journey that encourages deep relaxation and detoxification, allowing guests to fully unwind at their own pace.

At its core, Cinqtuair Spa is rooted in the philosophy of Salus Per Aquam—“health through water”—where renewal is not an indulgence but a way of life. Each ritual is thoughtfully crafted to help guests release tension, restore balance, and reconnect with themselves. 

Among its signature experiences is the 90-minute Cinqtuair Signature Massage which begins with a traditional foot-cleansing ritual believed to purify the soul and invite positive energy. This is followed by a harmonious blend of aromatherapy and Balinese massage is then used to ease muscular tension and promote deep relaxation, with perfectly blended oils enhancing a lingering sense of absolute calm. The spa’s offering is further elevated by the deeply grounding Hot Stone Massage, the soft glow and warmth of the Moisturising Candle Massage, and the time-honoured Abhyangam, where warm Ayurvedic oils work to relieve fatigue and realign the body. From revitalising scrubs and glow-enhancing facials to calming rituals that soothe the mind, every experience is immersive, intentional, and designed to linger long after one leaves the hills.

What truly elevates the experience is the expert led spa team that consists of trained and experienced massage therapists, including both masseurs and masseuses, each skilled in delivering personalised treatments with precision and care. Every session is thoughtfully tailored, ensuring guests are nurtured and deeply restored.

Beyond the spa, The Claridges Nabha Residence is one of Mussoorie’s most distinguished boutique retreats. With just 22 thoughtfully designed rooms, the estate blends colonial charm with contemporary elegance. Guests can enjoy forest trails, scenic hikes, cosy bonfires, and leisurely dining at The Pavilion, along with handcrafted cocktails at The Victorian Bar. With the addition of Cinqtuair Spa, the residence offers a serene escape where nature, comfort, and quiet luxury come together effortlessly.
