The Gala Makeover Wellness Centre & Spa, located in Gulshan 1, Dhaka, is a thoughtfully designed 2,200 sqft retreat that blends ethnic influences with a contemporary, earthy aesthetic. It is envisioned as a destination for relaxation and inner rejuvenation, crafted to slow down the pace of life for every visitor.

Natural materials, warm tones, and carefully curated details work together to create a calming environment from the moment one enters. Lighting is used strategically to shape the spa’s serene atmosphere, from soft waiting area lights to adjustable treatment room illumination, ensuring comfort for massages, facials, and other therapies.

The manicure and pedicure zone, alongside hot oil hair massage services, is positioned near greenery and natural daylight, forming the heart of the spa with an uplifting and refreshing character. Each treatment room features adjustable lighting to suit the service and mood.

Local materials such as wood and rattan, crafted by regional artisans, introduce warmth and authenticity. Textures, open spaces, and delicately designed arches create a harmonious blend of ethnic charm and modern sensibility.

Completed in March 2023, the Gala Makeover Wellness Centre & Spa is a serene urban escape that merges natural materials, thoughtful lighting, and cultural influences, offering a holistic environment dedicated to relaxation, beauty, and well-being.
