Kaya Kalp - The Royal Spa, ITC Maurya

Kaya Kalp - The Royal Spa occupies a wing of ITC Maurya on Sardar Patel Marg in New Delhi's Diplomatic Enclave, near Chanakyapuri. The spa recreates a Mughal-era bath house in marble and stone, with vaulted archways, low lighting and a hammam at its centre, setting a mood distinct from the hotel lobby beyond it. As the flagship of the ITC Hotels' Kaya Kalp brand, its treatment menu is anchored in classical Ayurvedic protocols - abhyanga oil massage and shirodhara warm-oil head therapy are signatures - alongside Mughal-inspired hammam rituals with steam and body scrub, and international styles such as deep tissue and Swedish massage. Facials use Indian botanical ingredients rather than imported spa-brand lines. Therapists train under ITC's in-house Kaya Kalp programme, which pairs Ayurvedic practitioners with internationally certified massage therapists, and the spa has built a reputation for consistency across ITC's sister properties nationwide. Facilities include the hammam itself, steam and sauna rooms, and couples suites with private steam and jacuzzi for shared treatments. The spa runs on reservation; walk-ins are accepted subject to availability, but longer Ayurvedic protocols are best booked a day ahead through the hotel concierge or spa reception, where therapists can advise on which treatment suits the time available, from a 60-minute massage to a full 180-minute Ayurvedic and hammam combination.
